A stunning WALK? Are you blind? Her walk was terrible!
On top of that a "I'm better than you" attitude does not win pageants. A friendly, excited, gracious and happy look does. Miss Taiwan had that look down perfectly and so did Miss China.

As For Her Previous Pageant Experience:
Diane was chosen Miss Korea Texas out of 7 girls who competed in the pageant. Other than that, I have not seen anything else that she has won. That is not a lot of pageant experience and it showed on stage.

Virgelia does not want anything to do with Donald Trump and the Miss USA & Miss Universe Pageant! Believe me she wants to get as far away from him as possible! Nor does she need him.

Close connections to Honey Lee means nothing! She certainly did not get any lessons from her because her walking and stage presence was terrible and nothing even remotely like Honey Lee's! If she thinks she can compare herself to Honey Lee, then it is in her own mind only! I have never seen a girl so blatantly interfere with a production number and stop it to bring attention to herself which is completely selfish. Im sure Evelyn was furious!

Absolutely I agree with her placing TOP 5.
But after her performance on stage in National Costume - Her swimsuit presentation was laugable, bad taste in an gawdy Evening Gown, not able answering the on-stage questions and intentionally stage hogging.
She did not deserve to win the crown.

There have been many National and International pageants that have been documented where the winner wore a homemade dress - and that they were from a poor family.

However it is highly recommended that you are have an Open Check Book to participate in the Miss Asia USA, MRS Asia USA and Miss Teen Asia USA Pageants.

OH PLEASE! GET A GRIP!
The worst experience of your life?

A pageant is not reality!
Pageants are a sport and yes it costs money to be in one.

But if you check around you can find pageants that are alot less expensive to participate in. The Miss America local pageants are FREE. There are many pageants that cost less than $100.00 to enter. Even on-line pageants.

Many girls who do not have money or are from a poor family have gone on to win National and International titles. Yvonne Riding who is a former Miss Universe wore her prom dress at the Miss Universe pageant and won.

I competed in many pageants and won and I am not from a wealthy family. However I did learn the skill of getting sponsors. The sponsors paid for my participating in pageants all over the world. You just have to want it and be persistant. Just like anything else in life.

And if losing a pageant is the worst experience of your life then you have not lived enough and all I can say is "hold on for a roller coaster ride!"
