A 25-year-old Venezuelan who appears on TV in her country and is an accomplished flamenco dancer is the new Miss Universe.
Gabriela Isler was crowned Saturday night in the pageant at a sprawling exhibition hall on Moscow's outskirts. In the excitement just after the announcement, the tiara fell
off Isler's head as she was being crowned by Miss Universe 2012, Olivia
Culpo of the United States. Isler caught the crown laughing. Patricia Rodrigues of Spain was the runner-up.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro congratulated
Isler on Twitter, calling her title a "triumph" for Venezuela, a country
that has now won three of the last six Miss Universe pageants.
In fact, Venezuela has won more major international beauty
competitions than any other nation, and beauty pageants rank alongside
baseball as the country's most-followed diversion.
A whole industry of grooming schools, plastic surgeons and
beauty salons has emerged to prepare young women for the thousands of
pageants that take place each year around the country in schools, army
barracks and even prisons.
