Miss Indonesia in bikini burqa is very interesting. Culture clash in a graphically stark depiction…
Miss Vietnam is especially beautiful and I am sure she is representing the truly stunning, pulchritudinous Vietnamese women adroitly over in the Bahamas.
Hiro says
She doesn’t look like Vietnamese girl.
Does she have blue eyes?
John says
I agree with Hiro, she doesn’t look Vietnamese at all…
Me says
I disagree, she does look Vietnamese. She looks like one of my friends and she’s Vietnamese. Asians don’t need other people telling them what they should look like.
SaigonNezumi (Kevin) says
@Me, the person who made the comment is Asian. For me, she does look Vietnamese as well.

Generally speaking, always a tricky proposition, the Vietnamese women who are considered the most beautiful by the Vietnamese people have features usually associated with Caucasians. Light to white skin, “western” nose, big eyes, pronounced mammaries, tall with long legs and thin lips are tickets to success. In fact controversies have occurred due to suspected surgical procedures undergone to maximize contestants opportunities.
This is bound to change over time as the Vietnamese learn to appreciate their diversity and variety of absolutely gorgeous women. I love Vietnam!

Well we can agree she doesn’t look ‘typical’ vietnamese i guess, so the fun of ‘country-contest’ is a bit gone then, if it becomes a best-prototype-race
Quynh Nhi says
Totally agree with Clifton Buck-Kauffman! Thank you for the honest comment!
