Well you can take it as a discouragement, but I was stating the fact that its sadly about height for most competitions. This is my opinion you don't have to take me seriously. If ONLY we could change genetics -- Miss Chinese Pageants Message Board

In reply to: Anna 's message, "I understand the tendency towards taller girls, particularly at int'l and Chinese "beauty" pageants, but discouraging people from entering because they're short or petite is ridiculous. I'm 5'1" and that was the last thing on my mind...I was the shortest girl in the pageants I entered, but won titles in both. Yes, height is definitely an advantage, but to openly discourage people from entering is ludicrous. It's your life, make the decisions you want and have fun in the process. You can't control genetics. (And, I will add that height is NOT a factor in the Miss America system.)" on 08:18:53 11/12/02 Tue

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Yes, the height factor is unfortunately emphasized (although for modeling, standard minimum height for runway work is 5'7", and even that is considered short -- less fair, I'd say!); however, I would refrain from asking the question "why on earth" would you enter a pageant if you are 5'2". The wording of that question clearly implies a discouragement.
