LITTLE Supatra Sasuphan is celebrating after being named the World's Hairiest Girl.

A young girl who for years suffered nasty nicknames like "monkey face" and "wolf girl" finally has a reason to smile about a rare medical condition that causes excessive hair growth on her face.



Supatra Sasuphan, 11, earned the Guinness World Record for hairiest girl last year and in a new interview with Britain's Daily Mail the "delighted" Thai girl reveals winning the title changed her life for the better.

"I'm very happy to be in the Guinness World Records! A lot of people have to do a lot to get in," she told the Mail. "All I did was answer a few questions and then they gave it to me."



Supatra - whose face, ears, limbs, back and even eyelids are covered in thick hair - snagged the title, recorded as "hairiest teenager" on the Guinness website, after an evaluation in Italy in March 2010

She said winning the title has erased the shame of her unusual condition and even boosted her popularity at school.

"There were a few people who used to tease me and call me monkey face, but they don't do it anymore," she said.
