As we’ve posted often in blog, Venezuela is an important neighbor in disarray. In other words, “the cubanization of Venezuela” is a sad thing to watch. It’s really horrible for those of us who know where “cubanization” leads to!
Our friends in Venezuela take a break from their crazy politics and shortages of everything by talking about their incredible line of major league shortstops and young women who win beauty pageants.
They can’t stop talking about Hall of Famer Luis Aparacio, “should be in the Hall of Fame” David Concepcion, the unbelievable Omar Vizquel, and now “the new kid up the middle” Elvis Andrus of the Texas Rangers. Who did I forget?
The men will talk to you about shortstops and the women treat the Miss Universe pageant like game 7 of the world Series. In other words,don’t ask a young Venezuela woman for a date when The Miss Universe pageant is on. She’d rather stay home and watch it.
This weekend, a young woman from Venezuela won The Miss Universe content:
“For the seventh time in Miss Universe history, Venezuela took the crown as 25-year-old Gabriela Isler was given the title of most beautiful woman in the universe in Moscow’s Crocus City Hall on Saturday night.
As the evening came to a close, the United States’ Olivia Culpo relinquished the Miss Universe crown and placed it upon Miss Venezuela.
Isler, who was born in Maracay, is an accomplished flamenco dancer who also works on Venezuelan television.”
Beautiful and dances flamenco? “Que maravilla!”
Congratulations to Gabriela!
Frankly, it’s nice to see Venezuelans smile and having a little fun. it’s been “hell” down there for a long time!
The Cuban community in Venezuela [the real exiles that escaped castro, not the castroite minions that arrived recently] have been extremely successful and instrumental in Venezuelan society. The Miss Venezuela Contest is presided over by Osmel Sousa a brilliant entrepreneur [considered one of the greatest entrepreneurs in Venezuela] who is responsible for Venezuela’s success in beauty pageants including: 7 Miss Universe winners, 5 Miss World winners and one Miss International. Here’s a documentary where Sousa interviewed:
