This coming Sunday will be our chance to see Miss Venezuela. Last year, for the first time ever, it was done a bit on the cheap and wasn't the fabulous extravaganza of the past (except for the amazing ball gowns). I think I usually cheer on Miss Nueva Esparta and that K's favorite tends to be Miss Amazonas. There seems to be no Miss Carabobo listed this year; sometimes we vie to bet on her. The contest has already happened, but since it's not covered in the Statesman, the winner will be news to us!
