(Miss Chinese International 2005 - New York)

Fala Chen, ever heard of her? If you haven't you will soon.
Born in Si Chuan, China, Fala Chen arrived in America at the age of 15. Now 22, she has a resume full of pageants. Not only is she participating in these pageants, but she's winning most of them.

The 5'7" stunner first made a splash in the pageant world by winning the title of Miss Asian America 2002. Afterwards she made her way to Miss Chinatown USA 2003 and won the title of Miss Chinese Chamber of Commerce (1st Runner Up).

Rumor has it that she wanted to represent San Francisco at Miss Chinese International 2004. However, because the Miss Chinatown USA organization and TVB (organizer of Miss Chinese International) had disagreements, Miss Chinatown USA did not to send anyone to Hong Kong.
Fala later decided to enter Miss New York Chinese Pageant. She won the pageant and took home half of the side awards given out during the finals. Awards included Miss Photogenic, Best in MTV and Best in Costume. Now, Fala will be representing New York at Miss Chinese International 2005.
Fala will be one of the strongest contestants United States will be sending to the pageant. Not since 2000 has an American contestant placed in the top 3 spots and Fala will surely be fighting for one of them.

Normally, the 5'7" Fala would be considered tall and appropriate for the pageant (winners are usually around 5'6") but other cities will be sending extremely tall contestants to this year's pageant (So far 6 contestants are reportedly over 5'8"). However, she's got everything else that matters. Not only does she have a figure to die for, she's also got the looks and education to back it up (She went to Emory University). Another rumor is that she
is currently studying in Hong Kong. If this is true, by knowing more Cantonese, her chances
at Miss Chinese International 2005 will greatly improve.

Finally United States will be sending a pageant pro to Miss Chinese International, and perhaps has a chance at winning the pageant.

You'll make Americans Proud, Best of Luck Fala Chen!
