[edit] Notes

1. On Jun 1, 2005, Miss Tahiti 2003 has been stripped of her place in the record books for posing nude in a magazine spread. The committee said the unanimous decision to dethrone 22-year-old communications student Heitiare Tribondeau was made to respect the public of French Polynesia and to promote a healthy and positive image of Polynesian women. Tribondeau, who was fourth runner up in the Miss France 2004 contest, posed naked in nature settings for a six-page spread in the June 2005 edition of the French magazine Newlook .
