See, Michelle Yeoh is a perfect example. While she wouldn't win any beauty contests because she doesn't fit a generally accepted standard of beauty, she is still uniquely beautiful and a tight hard ...
Yes, Mchelle Yeoh would never win any beauty contest. I would also put Lucy Lui there also. Even if you compared these girls at their prime, she would never win. Lucy Lui is only 5'1 or 5'2, less than 100lb. She's a tiny girl with no body. Short and tiny girls, don't win beauty contest or modeling contracts. I remember seeing Lucy Lui wearing those high heel boots in Ally Mcbeal. It was too funny. I would never pick her if she was at a KTV, BBS etc. If you actually saw Lucy in person you would feel differently.
I think white guys are not exposed to Asian films is the reason they are not as familiar with more Asian models/actress. It's kind of hard watching a film/TV you can't understand or with sub titles. There are also not very many Asian actress/actors on Western movies or TV shows.
I remember watching Li Gong in "Raise the Red Lantern". She was very pretty then in 1991. She is 5'7" to 5'8" tall. This movie was once banned in China. Li Gong was not as pretty when she was in "Memories of a Geisha". She's still OK but much older in Geisha. Jessey Meng, 孟廣美 (孟广美) / Meng Guang Mei, the girl who was murdered by Richard Gere in "Red Corner" is very pretty. Jessey Meng, is 5'8 to 5'9 and a model/actress. There also many other girls that are Chinese, Japanese and Korean that are much pretty than Michelle and Lucy.
So, if you compare Lucy with other Asian girls, she is not that pretty and just average, IMHO.
