Everything that everyone wrote here is true. These are not rumors. This is my first time ever being in a pageant and originally my goal in entering this pageant was to 1) represent my community, 2) use this as an opportunity to help bridge asians into the media, 3) help my parents financially, 4) break the stereotype of the pageants, 5) step out of my comfort zone,and 5) be a positive role model.

For the past 3 months I have commuted from UC Riverside (an hour away from our rehersal spot) to put my time and effort in this pageant because I felt that I was going to get a window of opportunity to do what I truly wanted to do. Virgelia threaten to take me out of the pageant because she felt that I was not "trying my best" and she did not want me to take off my sarong during the swimsuit competition because I was apparently the "fattest" girl out of everyone. Now can someone tell me what is that about? What happened to showcasing our culture and inner beauty?

I definately felt taken advantage of and I do not want any other girls to go through what the other girls in the pageant and I been through. The only thing I took away from this paegeant was meeting all the different girls who had a heart, soul, and mind. I have more respect for (certain) pageant girls, but I have NO RESPECT for this production.

She choose to mess with the wrong girl.
