Being far from their families, friends,
environment, in order to attend a beauty contest, an atmosphere
of melancholy is created and often they search a friend in whom
to count, and normally they always find her, I mean, one of
the contest competitors.
Here are the "most "lovable"
photos of the contests.

from Venezuela (MU 1986) is congratulated by Christy Fichtner
