There’s never been anything safe about ex-beauty queen Ris Low. The former Singapore Miss World, who was stripped of her crown last year when a credit card fraud conviction was revealed, is back in the spotlight again, this time as a spokeswoman for condoms and safe sex.
Low, 20, first shot to fame in the city-state after bloggers criticized her English, and her slang inventions “boomz” and “shingz” — words even she admits defy clear definition — became national catchphrases. Low has said bipolar disorder helped trigger a compulsion to steal since she was a child and led to last year’s credit card fraud sentence of two years’ probation. Now Low is pitching Espire condoms and preaching safe sex, moves she hopes will improve her image.
