Subject: What do you think of a women covering her body for swimsuit because of her beliefs? Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:41:47 10/14/25 Tue Author Host/IP: unn-95-173-216-41.datapacket.com/95.173.216.41 NH is older and wears a hi jab. I think that is fine for gown but covering the entire body for swim is another thing. The ladies who are going to USA have worked very hard for their bodies and are physically fit to wear a swim. How can anyone judge fitness when she covers everything up. She was top 5 in NY this year. I am just curious what your opinions are? I personally don't think any judge can see fitness with that. You are free to believe in your religion, but at Miss USA? I already have a problem with 40 yr olds competing in a MISS pageant. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date Why are you so worried about someone covering their body? It's her body and her choice and she is doing what she wants because of her religion and following her faith, there'd nothing shameful in that. Maybe open your mind to other cultures and backgrounds, which is something that pageantry promotes. (NT) No name (NoHost/104.28.104.30) 23:18:57 10/14/25 Tue My mind is open enough. I don't think they should do USA though because they can't follow the rules. (NT) No name (unn-95-173-216-41.datapacket.com/95.173.216.41) 23:39:48 10/14/25 Tue Agree, it's Miss USA not Miss Middle-east or Somalia or whatever her background. Again they are trying to change the USA culture vs intigrating into it. (NT) -- No name, 00:21:06 10/15/25 Wed (NoHost/73.215.218.42) USA culture is a melting pot: hijabs, kippas, and all beliefs are a part of us. Some women wear a 1 piece at Miss USA, some wear bikinis, and some will wear burkinis. Have yall SEEN Miss Universe? USA wouldn't be the first contender to show up fully covered for swimsuit. "You're free to express your beliefs, just not at Miss USA," is wild (NT) -- No name, 02:02:55 10/15/25 Wed (NoHost/172.56.201.236) That is not the point. A one piece suit is not an issue. A fully clothed body is not what Miss USA is all about. She is also in her 40s which I don't agree with either. (NT) -- No name, 03:53:50 10/15/25 Wed (unn-95-173-216-41.datapacket.com/95.173.216.41) Totally agree!! (NT) -- No name, 01:42:57 10/15/25 Wed (syn-035-150-243-219.res.spectrum.com/35.150.243.219) On Wikipedia, it says that Mona is from Concord NH. Is that true? (NT) No name (wkt-bband-152-38-106-90.wk.net/152.38.106.90) 03:52:37 10/15/25 Wed I doubt she is from NH. She was one of the appointed ones. She was top 5 in NY (NT) -- No name, 03:55:02 10/15/25 Wed (unn-95-173-216-41.datapacket.com/95.173.216.41) No. The "Open Call" contestants don't have their present residences as Colorado (Sydney Hella) lives in Denver for a few years. That bullshit IP editor is a hoax. (NT) -- No name, 03:55:57 10/15/25 Wed (27.49.15.141.convergeict.com/27.49.15.141) Judges are looking for near perfection. You can't see that in a fully covered suit. (NT) -- No name, 03:57:53 10/15/25 Wed (unn-95-173-216-41.datapacket.com/95.173.216.41) Why worry about it. However, she will get a lot of publicity for bing the "first" at USA. (NT) -- No name, 07:07:59 10/15/25 Wed (NoHost/69.250.36.194)
