How to be that thin -- anorexia, or starvation.
Look at all the other girls around her. They are healthy. She is not. One has to wonder what kind of message the pageant judges are sending to young women. _ |

I would like these contests to enforce a minimum BMI. The best way to protect your girls from this crap is to not watch these competitions. Another reason TV got banned from my house long time ago. G |

Good for her. +1.
On the second link, she sounds intelligent and seems to be mature and have a balanced attitude about the contest. Maybe her being 26 instead of 20 makes a difference. Doesn't sound like the stereotypical airhead. As for her slim figure, YMMV. In her bikini, she looks fine to me. Others may prefer a more robust figure. Go for it. Be an official judge and you too can make a difference. S |

My GF knows her. She's a sweet girl.
She looks thin in a few photos, but I'm not sure how much of that is genes and how much is pagent prep. We have a very large Hmong community here and they're pretty excited to be represented.

Asian women can maintain a thin figure for a large part of their lives, so she probably didnt starve herself.
I thought it was interesting....most likely she and her family were processed through the same refugee camp that my family and I went through when we escaped from Laos. |

I don't know which camp (we stayed in two during the 9 months or so in Thailand). It was 1979 and i remember French missionaries, not Americans. I was very young and probably blocked a lot of memories.

Harsh little face on her. I couldn't imagine her winning anything.

@soukus, 1979 would have been slightly before his time. He graduated from HS that year, I think he was there around '82. The one he worked at, (whose name I'm probably mangling), was the one featured in "The Killing Fields" book and movie. I'll ask him for dates and details when we speak next.
It sounds like a very interesting journey you've had in life, from escaping Laos as a toddler to becoming a success in America that can afford to own sports cars. Good for you, man. |

I say more power to her. Putting her family first is somewhat rare in young people these days. |

On the other end of the spectrum, this is a pretty humorous scene in a movie that includes a Hmong character. It doesn't hurt to have Clint Eastwood in it. gran torino best scene - YouTube S |
