> Why'd you decide to call her "Little Miss Romania"? I don't associate Romania with gypsies. Gymnasts, maybe, but not gypsies. I guess I'm curious about where you got that association or if it's just some "common knowledge" that I missed out on somewhere. >
I'm no expert, but one of my friends does missions work in Romaina, and she's told me about gypsies there.
Once I watched a beauty pagent that involved contestants from all over the world. One part of the program involved the women dressing in a way that was representative of their country. The woman from the United States was dressed as a cowgirl. Not all Americans identify with that type of dress, but that did not mean it was totally invalid to represent America.
