More On Counterfeit Bikini Contestants
Well, the Daily Mail picked up the story I posted about yesterday about Mariyah Moten, the Pakistani-born American resident who appeared as Miss Pakistan in China. (It doesn't get any more clear telling it the second time.) Anyway, the Mail leads their headline with "Muslim Fury". Yeesh. Moten has an explanation in a Reuters story today:
Officials in Pakistan, which does not hold beauty pageants, said Thursday they were investigating how Texas-based Mariyah Moten, 22, entered a "Miss Bikini" pageant in China last month as a Pakistani contestant.
Pakistan-born Moten, who holds an American passport, won a "Best in Media" title for being the most photographed and interviewed contestant, media reports said.
"I have broken all the barriers, and in the coming years there will be other Pakistani contestants who will carry this title," Moten, described by Pakistani media as the country's first bikini queen, told the Times of India newspaper.
"My intention was to project Pakistan in a very modern way."
We fully understand why the authorities want to look at Ms. Moten. Which Howie from the Jawa Report also wants to do. Plus he found additional evidence many people will be interested in, judging by my out click logs…
