Miss Hawaii USA Jennifer Fairbank leaves this week for Baltimore to compete in the April 11 Miss USA pageant.
Most-embarrassing moment: "When I was in the fourth grade and I had big glasses, a bad perm and wore a headgear to school. One day during lunch one of the popular boys yelled at me and said 'You're so ugly!' then hit me in the face. I started crying in front of everyone and ran away." Worst dating experience: "I was on a first date with a guy who seemed pretty nice up until the moment when the waitress came to our table to ask how we were doing. My date rudely responded 'Just terrible!' I was so embarrassed and couldn't wait until he took me home." Interesting facts: "I am a member of Psi Chi, the Psychology National Honor Society. In 2001, I won the silver medal in the physique round of the Natural Olympia competition. I started playing the violin at age 3 and started dancing at age 4. Some of my favorite hobbies are surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding, reading, knitting, yoga, and by far my favorite, sleeping!"
