Subject: Some disturbing news

My mom called my aunt in Toronto to ask her to tape the MCI '02 pageant (since it's not broadcast where I live). My aunt read some disturbing news in the papers -- that the contestants were all force-fed some special Chinese diet medicine to make them lose weight. She said that Miss Toronto lost 20 lbs. after arriving in Hong Kong, which subsequently led to her winning that special award.

I know two of this year's contestants and noticed that they had lost weight, but figured it was due to working out prior to MCI, not to some medication. The pageant organizers should be ashamed of themselves.

I asked again. My aunt said that all the contestants knew about the medicine; however, the pageant organizers imposed it upon the girls whom they thought were "heavier" than others.

[> Subject: I think it's awful how the hong kong media is putting so much emphasis on weight. As you can see, most of the stars in hk are very very thin. J. Lo would be considered FAT in asia. But in fact, she is sexy and beautiful and very attractive. HK want girls with no butt, no hip, thin legs, tiny waist and huge boobs. Whatever! I have Hips, I have a Butt, I have some meat on my legs, I have a curvy waist and I have average boobs! I may never make it in HK, not that I'd want to, but I'll be happy in my own skin!!

[> Subject: Miss Toronto only lost 5 pounds -- she went from 102 to 97!! if she lost 20 pounds that would mean that she weighs only 82 now! Obviously by looking at the pics you can see that she is not 82 pounds! She'd be anorexic if she was 82... that's such a crock of s h i t

Well, let's see. 5'5" and 90 lbs??? And you know how Chinese are, rounding 5'__ 1/4" to the next highest inch.

that is ridiculous! they pageant organizers do not even have the authority to do that to the delegates, so I seriously doubt it. Also, if Christie lost 20 lbs, then she would be 82 lbs, and obviously by looking at her pictures you can see that she is heavier.

And why do you say the pageant organizers do not have the authority to do that? They make the girls speak Cantonese, dress the clothes that they want them to wear (which is usually NOT the case for a pageant -- usually in competition you get to pick your own evening gown, talent costume, etc.!), and follow their own schedule. That includes eating.
