No dieting needed for Jumbo Queen contest One month before Bangkok hosts the Miss Universe competition, Thailand crowned a 110-kilogramme business student winner of a light-hearted, heavyweight pageant staged to promote elephant conservation. Tarnrarin Chansawang, 18, was crowned the eighth Miss Jumbo Queen after a contest in which 24 large-size women sang and danced to pop tunes and traditional Thai music. The annual event is an unlikely precursor to the international pageant May 30 in Bangkok, but the Jumbo Queen has become a strangely popular event in a country where most women strive to be skinny. dailytimes.com.pk
