Cynthia, some countries have average heights of less than 5'4" for women. Spain and Mexico, for instance, have an average height of 5'3". Japan's average height is 5'1" (some say it's 5'2" and some say it's 5'0"). In China, it's 5'2" (I thought it was taller than that.) In America, the average height for a Hispanic woman is, believe it or not, only 5'3".

Be thankful for your height.

seriously! all i wanted to do is talk about the trashy Ms. Universe dresses, and instead this thread has been hijacked by a midget with a bone to pick!

So were the dresses trashy?

So there's totally no actual .. FABRIC there.. that's just a dress of twine...

God knows what dresses the Miss Teen USA contestants would wear.

That's not a dress - it's a mammogram. Poor boobies.

Holy crap. She looks like if she turned around, you'd see a big bunch of excess skin and body fat held together by, I don't know, the hand of Satan.

LOL - we were saying that it was probably a pretty dress before it got caught in the paper shredder!

Canada's National Costume was of a Can Can dancer meets a Mardi Gras-esque butterfly!

Well, you Canadian ladies do have to go the extra mile to attract men, because that whole saying "eh?" every third word has got to be a huge turn-off. :p

HEY! There's a reason why it's spelled C-eh-N-eh-D-eh!!!

Hey, I think its next month. And I shudder to think what those girls will be wearing.....:confused:

I am wearing mine today to work! I work in an office so I have to be careful that my feathers don't get caught in the photocopier. :)

We Canadian ladies also have fuzzy green antennae. That's how you can spot the Canadians from the American tourists visiting Canada.

I'm sure it's good because it's so big that it ensures that no one will stand too close to you in the elevator.
