Bolivia wins Miss Caribbean Hibiscus 2011

 

Miss Bolivia, 28-year old Olivia Pinheiro Menacho, won the title of Miss Caraibes (Caribbean) Hibiscus 2011 during the annual event held in St. Maarten on December 3rd, with the participation of 14 competitors.

Pinheiro, who comes from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, also represented her country at the Miss Universe pageant held in Sao Paulo last September.

The first runner-up was Miss Colombia, Tatiana Najera.

Penacho had been involved in a controversy earlier this year, when media in her country reported that she was over the age limit to compete in the Miss Universe pageant. However, the MUO changed its rules and finally accepted Pinheiro, who was a favorite for the Miss Universe title in Brazil.

Olivia also competed at the Reina Hispanoamericana pageant in 2010, where she was 2nd runner-up.

Congratulations!

Equatorial Guinea may compete in Miss Universe for the first time

Lidia Avomo was recently elected Miss Equatorial Guinea,  and Judith Nfono Ngoma, the pageant’s organizer, said that she is already carrying out the appropriate processes to try to get Avomo to participate in the next Miss Universe competition. “The choice of a beauty queen from Angola has been an inspiration,” she says.
When asked if the African country could participate in the upcoming Miss Universe competition, Judith recalled that Equatorial Guinea has not yet been in the election of Miss Universe. But, after mentioning that the last Miss Universe is an African, specifically, the Angolan Leila da Costa Vieira Lopes, Judith believes that her victory has been an inspiration. Therefore, the director of the international beauty contest has not hesitated and has sent the request to participate so that Equatorial Guinea can compete in the next Miss Universe competition.
