A Somali-American woman will be the first to compete in the Miss Minnesota USA contest while wearing a hijab and other modest Muslim clothing that keeps her fully covered. Nineteen-year-old Halima Aden of St. Cloud will be part of the competition Saturday and Sunday in Burnsville. In addition to her hijab, she'll wear a full-body outfit called a burkini during the swimsuit competition, and she'll modify evening gowns to be more modest.

You may be right. About f-ing time. Now THAT would be a sea change.

I believe that “outfit” is her bathing suit (burkini).

Yep. Guaranteed winner. The only thing that might be able to challenge her would be a transgendered black kid.

You have to marry it to see what’s in it.

Used to be one of the definitions of morality....

What a farce!! I would bet a million dollars that if this woman were to be dropped off back in the old country she would be stoned to death because of the attention she got as a woman! And really??? A hijab that shows body curves?? Someone somewhere is living in a dream world...

Why is a Muslim allowed to enter a beauty contest?

Old...late forties???

Yes, sadly.
When we were there I was in my late 30's. People there thought I was much younger. The folks there age FAST and it ain't pretty.
Things will change for the Saudis, now that they have 100% free medical care, the best food that money can buy and outstanding doctors who go there from all over the world to make a TON of money+.

What has to change, but it won't, is their marrying first cousins. The British used to do that. Not any more.
