Source: Oriental Daily Translated by: KAY A press conference for the new Miss Hong Kong oversea recruitment was held yesterday. Winners from the past such as Skye Chan, Sandy Lau, Germaine Li, Shirley Yeung attended to the event. High executive Ho Lai Chuen expressed the age restriction this year would be under 28-years-old instead of the usual 25-years-old. Participants don't have to be permanent residents, as long as they have IDs; even those who signed contracts with model agencies can participate as well. Asked is it because the quality is declining every year that's why they're relaxing the restriction, Ho said: "Just want to attract more beautiful women to participate. Also it can let them have more time to finish their education and have several years of working experience before they participate."
Expanding age restrictions may allow more people to come into the contest and allow them to finish education or something.. but isn't 27 a BIT too old for Ms. Hk imo.
It doesn't matter if they increase the age limit. The fact is that the participants are uglier each year and those who won are all supported by mngt fav; not real ppl's choice. Also, most ppl should finish their edu by 22-25 so I don't know what he was referring to .. working 1-3 years .. yeah .. but by then, who wanna be Miss HK? Professional has its standard too unless that person wanna be in showbiz, I highly doubt it. Gals at that age usually settled down already and I am referring to the "quality" ones.
27 isn't old. 27 is perfect IMO. like aged wine! the last few pageants have been fueled fathers with big pockets and connections. that's why the girls are so ugly.
there are probaby good quality ones, but hot kicked out in 1st round because judges dont like. they only like ppl can speak (rub shoes & not say anything offending) and have potential to work like a slave for tvb.
well at the age of 27, girls are at basically nearing their peak in terms of appearance so they should look the best then. also, with the growing of women who want to work i guess 27 isn't that rele old but i agree at the age of 27 girls start to think about long-term relationships. still if it increases the quality of beautiful women, then who is to argue with the age restriction.
The requirement is more like they need to be willing to bend over (literally) or spread their legs for TVB.
most are .. i married my wife when she was 25 and she was already a pharmacist so yeah .. azn wise, ppl marry early even nowadays.
