When you hear the word Venezuela in the pageant world you think of a huge powerful country which won many many titles. But what is the secret??? Find out with me!
Interview with Verónica García, editor of the Perfect Miss
- Hi! You are from Venezuela, the country which won the most Miss Universe titles. What is the secret of the Venezuelan beauty? What do you think?
Well, in Venezuela we have a mixture of cultures and races so that gives as a result a very interesting beauty , but the "key" of our success on beauty pageants is the preparation and the discipline. Sometimes we don´t have “the most beautiful candidates” but with preparation our girls make a difference…The Miss Venezuela Organization is a Beauty Machine and as a machine, we are perfectionists… Our candidates are elected one year before the Miss Universe competition, giving us time to work with them...Miss Venezuela winners take make up classes, works on her walk, on her oratory, Make diet, go to the gym all days… Every miss has a different preparation according to what they need (Some girls take dance classes to improve their body language) and also they work with professional designers who provide the best wardrobe. The clothing is very important…To be Miss Venezuela is hard hahaha considering that we are on The Guinness Book of Records for being the county with the most titles on Beauty Pageants
-We all would like to know, what it is like to celebrate a Miss Universe winner! Your country was lucky enough to experience it twice in the past 3 years.
It's an amazing experience… When our Miss Universe returns to Caracas, she's received at the airport with songs and dances of Venezuela. The Miss Universe receives a tribute from us in which we make parades on the street, etc. Everybody knows about that, and It´s great because we feel proud to be Venezuelan, we feel proud of our youth, some people think this not a big deal but it’s amazing to forget our differences for a moment and celebrate together this experience.
-Have you met any of the Venezuelan titleholders? What are they like?
Yes…I met some Venezuelan titleholders and the girls who I meet are great…They are very nice girls..The people think they are superficial...they aren´t,, they are just like you and I…The Venezuelan titleholders are working girls with beautiful feelings and is easy talk with them
- Imagine! This is the night of the Miss Venezuela pageant. What is it like in Venezuela? How excited is the whole nation?
It’s very exciting…Some people go to Caracas for watch it live no matter from what state you are...Everybody wanna go to Caracas for Miss Venezuela Pageant and talk about that for many days hehehe…
-Compare the Soccer World cup final with the Final night of the Miss Universe!
haha well is difficult make a comparison, that depends on what you like, not everybody likes beauty pageants, maybe they like more the Soccer World Cup than watching girls on TV competing for a crown,I don´t know,I like both. In my case, the World Cup final and Miss Universe final are very exciting because you have favorites and you feel nervous, specially for your country (I know, Venezuela doesn´t participate on World Cup but Argentina does and I´m half Argentinian hehe). For me, don´t have a comparation, it´s the same hahahaha
- You have a blog, you write about queens and post photos. What is your aim with this blog?
Well, like a fan of beauty pageants, sometimes I can´t find information, photos, etc of my favorites (Sometimes, my favorites aren´t the favorites of the pages or forums) so it´s difficult. With my blog “The Perfect Miss” I want the all the people can find information about all beauty candidates...Some blogs or pages don´t post photos of candidates from Zimbabwe or Serbia, South Africa, Honduras, Uruguay....They are concentrated on the most popular ones. I think all the candidates need to receive the same treatment no matter, if they are favorites or not because as a fan you want to see more of your "girls". Is very sad when you are representing your country and the people don´t know who you are and don´t take you into account because you aren´t representing a "Power House" like Venezuela, Puerto Rico, USA…
- You know everything about pagents, predict us who will win this year's Miss Universe! Who is your favourite?
Hahaha I don't know ,all the beauty pageants are a surprise box. I have many favorites (for now), my queen Miss Venezuela, Serbia (She´s my sentimental queen of this year), Kosovo, Ukraine, Malaysia, Czech Republic, Nicaragua, Mexico, Israel, Switzerland, Spain…But I think the girls with more chances to be MU can be Venezuela, Mexico, Ukraine and Malaysia...But I don´t know, you see them like "Ohh she´s the winner" ", "or this one" but when you see them on competition, your opinion change, so, we´ll see
- This year's Miss Universe will be in Brazil, what do you think of this choice? Have you been to Brazil?
Nooo…I’ve never been in Brazil..I hope to go this year hahahaha…I loved that news…I think Brazil is excellent for beauty pageants, specially for Miss Universe…
The world need a little of Latin Flavor
