Globalization of beauty standards

"Muwadda Nour of Saudi Arabia had barely lain hands on her faux-jewel encrusted crown when critics began sniping that at approximately 200 pounds, she "did not meet the required standards" of a beauty queen, according to the popular Arab entertainment site Wikeez. Delphine Edde, the publisher of Wikeez, confirmed to The Times that the site spoke with organizers and contestants at the event. Despite the controversy, Nour kept her crown, beating out 15 other young women between the ages of 18-24 from around the region." (thanks Laleh)
