PATTAYA, Thailand: American contestant Jazell Barbie Royale was crowned"Miss International Queen" in Thailand on Friday at a beauty pageant for transgender women, becoming the first person of colour to win the competition since it started in 2004.
She said she hoped her triumph inspired other people of colour around the world who might say"if she can do it, I'm coming to Miss International Queen next year and I'm going to compete". She said that if she had to send a message to Trump she would tell him"please don't run for next term".Before the show, aspiring Miss Queens took selfies, glanced in the mirror for a final look or sat still as stylists put the finishing touches on their makeup and hair.
The first transgender candidate for prime minister made headlines this month ahead of March 24 elections.
