Tibet picks 1st beauty queen
First Ever Miss Tibet
Dharamsala, India (Reuters)- Dolma Tsering won the first Miss Tibet beauty pageant, an event its organizers said would reinforce Tibetan identity.
Tsering, who beat three others in the contest criticized by conservative Tibetans as defying Buddhist modesty, was crowned by a veteran fighter for Tibetan independence from China, Ama Adi, at the end of a spectacular three-hour event at the Himalayan foothill town of Dharamsala.
Nearly 2,000 spectators, mostly Tibetans, cheered wildly under a star-studded sky as contestants paraded down a ramp, first in evening gowns, then in traditional Tibetan dresses.
"I feel very great and very thankful to my people. I can't believe I am Miss Tibet," an ecstatic Tsering told Reuters moments after being crowned as fireworks lit up the sky.
