Crystle Stewart, from Texas, The Miss Universe contestant fell yesterday during an entrance to the stage during the competition, much like what happened with last year’s U.S. representative.

In Venezuela, potential beauty queens are trained in schools and given plastic surgery pretty much as soon as they come out of their mami’s womb, which may explain why Dayana Mendoza, 22, from Venezuela won the crown.

Mendoza, upon winning played up her cred by revealing that she was a victim of a secuestro express a little over a year ago.

I still don’t get the purpose of Miss Universe, beyond glorifying the idea of what valuable women are supposed to be like, but maybe that’s because I would likely bust my ass on stage too.
