Beauty pageant organizers were investigating Sunday who doused a contestant's evening gowns with pepper spray and spiked her makeup, causing her to break out in hives.

Beauty queen Ingrid Marie Rivera beat 29 rivals to become the island's 2008 Miss Universe contestant, despite applying makeup and wearing evening gowns that had been coated with pepper spray, pageant spokesman Harold Rosario said.

Rivera was composed while appearing before cameras and judges throughout the competition. But once backstage, she had to strip off her clothes and apply ice bags to her face and body, which swelled and broke out in hives twice.

In the Court of World Opinion - us on the net is this of real importance ? No but it is a momentary reflection on some peoples sad state of affairs and thought processes, let alone their lack of political distractions - though it is in isolation?!

I've heard Latina women referred to as "spicy," but this is ridiculous!

Pretty damn sad state of affairs that people feel compelled to undertake such tactics in order to try to skew the results of something like a beauty pageant---thank God they don't do similar things to win political campaigns!!! LOL

Does anyone actually pay attention to beauty pageants anymore?
