say hello to our Miss USA (also Miss Michigan) :wag:

rima-fakih-240.jpg


Miss Michigan, Rima Fakih, made history Sunday night after becoming only the second Arab-American – after 1983's winner Julie Hayek – to be crowned Miss USA.

Fakih, 23, was born in Lebanon, moved to the U.S. as a baby, was raised in New York and moved with her family to Dearborn, Mich., in 2003, according to the Detroit Free Press. She told pageant officials that her family celebrates both Muslim and Christian faiths.

Asked how she felt after winning the crown during the primetime NBC telecast, Fakih replied: "Ask me after I've had a pizza."

After almost falling in her evening gown earlier in the evening, Fakih was asked in the interview portion whether she thought birth control should be paid for by health insurance. She said it should. "I believe that birth control is just like every other medication, even though it's a controlled substance," she said.

Miss Oklahoma, Morgan Elizabeth Woolard, was the first runner-up at the pageant, held at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

Fakih succeeds Miss USA 2009, Kristen Dalton. She gets a one-year lease in a New York apartment with living expenses, an undisclosed salary, along with health, professional and beauty services. She will also compete in the Miss Universe competition.

lol I don't think that beat poor Miss Teen USA's incoherent answer :lol:
 
Don't you need a scrip to get bc, regardless of the method? If so, then bc is "controlled."
 
Good on Rima!

I agree with what she said about birth control should have been covered by health insurance and medicare.
 
She is beautiful but she looks a little skinny to me. I hope she doesn't have an eating disorder.
 
The pill IS a controlled substance under Schedule IV. It requires prescription. It's not allowed to be sold over the counter and must be regulated.
 
I dunno but is there eligibility requiring Miss USA to be America-born and white?

based on Controlled substance Act and also FDA all prescribable birth control regimines are not in any class of controlled substances. A requrement of a physician's authorization doesn't make it a controlled substance.

then what's the point of prescription if it's not a controlled substance?
