Norma Nolan, crowned Miss Universe 1962
She MUST have had plastic surgery! That nose is not hers! How old is she, like 12?
Girls, I don’t know if it’s jealousy or some other intrinsic quality that all females seem to have, but whenever its time for the Miss Universe pageant, we all seem to lose our brains just a little.
So I thought it only appropriate to look into some of the pageant’s "laws", which might help put to rest some of the Tourette-like outbursts one may have whilst watching the show.
1. All contestants must be aged between 18 and 27 by the 1st of February in the year they compete. This has been a requirement since 1993, so no, she’s probably not 12, she naturally looks that young.
2. The pageant actively discourages cosmetic surgery. For example, since 1990, the rules have permitted girls to use padding in their bras as an alternative to breast implants. However, the perfectly chiselled nose or the amazingly perky breasts that you see may be the work of a professional as there is no rule that specifically forbids a contestant from undertaking a cosmetic procedure.
3. Contestants cannot be married, divorced, pregnant or have given birth to a child. The winner of the competition must remain single throughout her reign, otherwise she’d be Mrs Universe and that’s a whole other competition...
4. Contestants can only enter the Miss Universe competition once in their lives. So if your country is severely lacking in beautiful women, sorry, but you’ll have to submit an ugly one.
5. The winner of the competition receives cash and prizes from the pageant’s official sponsors. They also receive a contract with the Miss Universe Organization and are provided with a luxury New York apartment in which they must live during their reign. The titleholder will be spokesperson for the organisation worldwide, must appear at sponsored events and must meet with the relevant charities. Wow. Tough life.
Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza is the Puerto Rican beauty who was recently crowned Miss Universe 2006. Despite the tiny slip-up when she fainted during a post-win press conference (the dress was too tight!) this will no doubt, continue to be the most exciting year of her life as she jet-sets across the globe, mingles with the rich and famous and promotes a charitable cause...
...all whilst wearing the 18 carat, 800 diamond, US$250 000 Mikimoto tiara.
I couldn’t post a photo of her due to copyright reasons but you can take a look at Miss Universe and all the other delegates at www.missuniverse.com

Yeah, the more I think about it, not sure if I'd want the Trump-meister to forbid surgery. i kinda like taking comfort in the fact that these women don't naturally look that amazing!

Although, I do agree that mere mortals can rest easily knowing that these girls might not be as perfect as they look like hehehe
