Oh, Latin American countries are dominating the beauty pageants? Let's criticize their most successful one. Please. Look at the New York catwalks. Look at every single American actor on the big screen. Nearly everyone who has a career dominated by physical appearance has had work done. Hell, look at the entire west side of Los Angeles! American women aren't any different. If anything, this is most prevalent here in the States. This typical American criticism. Cubans are better boxers: let's show how boxing there is actually bad. Venezuelan women are better looking: let's make them seem unnatural. Haters.

Sure they are beautiful, but only because of surgery...

I would be way more interested in a NATURAL beauty pagent...where all the girls go through a medical expert and plastic surgery expert to testify all of them have has nothing done.

A woman from Latin America would still win.

And the problem is? If you have a natural resource, capitalize on it.

Yep... beauty pageants are a big business in Venezuela and you can't deny that they have some really beautiful women down there.

every one of them has plastic surgery though so...how real is that beauty?

They all have boob jobs and nose jobs, and some sort of lipo or injections...beauty isnt cheap.

U.S.A. spends trillions on unneccessary wars....

Don't worry, Venezuela is trying to catch up by spending billions on Russian weapons and equipment while many of his people live in some of the world's biggest shanty towns.

Why bother? Why make those expenses? Venezuela could just send its beauty queens around the world and conquer other nations in that way. :)
