is an ingenious stroke, because it focuses the public on a cause, i.e.,
the young woman's progress in life. Or, did Miss Metric New Zealand
arrive in the public eye when she was already centerfold-worthy? Did it
have something to do with the measurements 91-58-91?  Now, that's a lot
more interesting than the width of a fingernail.
