A sad twist in sad case of Luisel Ramos, the Uruguayan model we told you about last summer, who died on a catwalk in Montevideo. Uruguayan press reports that Luisel’s sister, Eliana, 18 and also a model, has died the same way her sibling did: from cardiac arrest.
Doctors are saying that Eliana was a “normal sized girl” who was “healthy”. Her rep, Argentine agent Pancho Dotto, calls the speculation that her death might have been brought on by malnutrition “absurd” and says that she didn’t suffer from anorexia or bulimia (read the whole report in Spanish).
Curiously, these are the same things that were said about Luisel, though her father initially said that his daughter had not eaten for days.
So, what is it? Eating disorders shared by two sisters who happen to be involved in the industry most associated with the illness, or a genetic heart problem?

Although Italian crooner and all-around numbskull Tiziano Ferro had seemingly made peace with the Mexican public after the “moustache scandal”, there are some of us who just can’t forget. The beautiful Mexican city of Veracruz for one, which last night, in celebration of this year’s Carnaval, burned an effigy of Ferro to symbolize death to “bad humor”:
Before being burned, the “Mal humor” traveled the main streets of the city’s center, where he was booed by hundreds of people that congregated to kick off the celebration.Dozens of women congregated in front of Veracruz’s City Hall and celebration with glee the symbolic act.
