Miss Fiji’s hair is too straight, say critics

The pageant spokeswoman said the furore was damaging efforts to gain some good
publicity for the island nation. The country has come under widespread
international criticism and been suspended from the Commonwealth over the
failure of the military ruler, Commodore Frank Bainimarama, to hold
elections as scheduled.

“Fiji has received enough negative press already, shouldn’t this be one for
making up for lost ground?” the spokeswoman said. “Our forefathers promoted
unity and respect and, sadly, in our society today this is not evident
(among) many who call themselves proud Fijians.”

The pageant had already attracted controversy over the winner’s age. This
prompted a retort from Ms Hunter, who said she was 16 when first scouted in
New Zealand as a model for a brand of ice cream.
