Dayana Mendoza Miss Universe 2008

Doesn’t she look stunning? While Miss USA tripped on her gown, the second Miss USA to experience the same mishap after last year, Dayana Mendoza remained calm and poised through the pageant. She said that her experience as a kidnap victim when she was a child has been an invaluable experience which helps her to remain calm under tremendous pressure. Dayana Mendoza takes over from Miss Japan Riyo Mori who was Miss Universe 2007.

As an avid follower of beauty pageants, I am always amazed that there are these beautiful women vying for such prestigious titles year after year and they are so young. When I was that age, I was still so unsure of what I look for in life.

Congratulations to Dayana Mendoza. Once again, Venezuelan ladies have shown the world that Venezuela is a land of beauties!
