Venezuela wins Miss World (again)

Yep... the beauty queen factory won again! This is the sixth time that Venezuela has win the Miss World title; the country has also won Miss Universe six times, Miss International six times and Miss Earth once (though give them time with this one!).

As Glitter&Garbage said last night, beauty pageants are the national sport in Venezuela. You can't help but kinda like Ivian Sarcos though. The 21 year old, one of 13 siblings, was orphaned at eight and spent five years studying at a nunnery. She dreamed of becoming a nun but her life took a different direction, as she gained a degree in human resources and worked for a broadcasting company before becoming a beauty queen.


I feel sorry for the flamingo that was sacrificed for her dress though...
