It's amazing how time changes perspectives. I want to give Kudos to all these young ladies for having the courage to stand up for themselves and speak on their own behalf.

I really liked the very first one, Ms. Bista from LA ..she tried her best to be who she is and she is pretty also..Additionally, I think most candidates representating California were pretty decent.

I also like Ms. Jubi from NYC- daughter of the Gorkha is something already special to me and she spoke very eloquently.

I like Ms. Basnet attending GWU in DC..And Fary KC  from Texas was note worthy--the rest of TEXAS was disasturous..no wonder it's the Bush state ;)!

I only wish that these young ladies were introduced in more traditional outfits than these though..my outlook on the whole contest would have been different if they didnt make them pose in such ways in such clothing!! wat were they trying to do...mimicking some kind of "soft porn" or what?? That just was not impressive..!!

These are young adults we need to teach them that beauty is not just whats on the outside, but within, it is in your personality, and brain and respecting our cultures..

It bothered me to see the very first young contestant posing like that!! May be I see my daughters/sisters in them and would like them to be portaryed in a completely different light..nevertheless..GOOD JOB TO YOU ALL AND MAY THE BEST LADY WIN.
