很久以前在國內的時候看到 Miss America 決賽錄像, 非常喜歡那些集美貌,智慧,才藝,善良於一身的選手們。
2000 年的時候,來自Stanford 的華裔女孩Rita Ng, 取得了第二名(1st Runner Up)的好成績。Rita那優美的鋼琴比賽片斷,至今難忘。如今Rita 已是一位優秀的大夫。
Miss America 比賽起於1921年, 是一個scholarship program. 參賽的選手需要具備美貌,智慧,才藝。。。等素質。才藝占35%, 每個選手還要準備一份social platform 的計劃,闡明自己怎樣為社區服務。
MissAmerica 與 MissUSA 的不同之處在於:前者注重於學業和才藝,參賽選手很多來自著名大學。後者注重於美貌和形體。參賽選手很多是model. 另外Miss USA 比較擅長商業/緋聞炒作。
