Former Miss Mexico and winner of the 2007 “Miss International” contest Priscila Perales was arrested yesterday in Monterrey for drunk driving when a blood alcohol test revealed she had a level of 0.9.
Perales will be hit with the largest fine possible for the offense: 20,000 pesos (about 1800 dollars), which is the highest fine for drunk drivers in Mexico.
The model and beauty queen was also among the finalists for the 2006 Miss Universe pageant.

Miss Mexico Changes Her Dress

Miss Mexico caused quite a stir with her choice of traditional dress for the Miss Universe pageant.
Miss Mexico, Rosa Maria Ojeda, presented the dress March 29, showing off the billowing, hoop skirt adorned with sketches of Catholic rebels hanging from posts. Rosaries and scapulars hung from the bullet-studded, bandolier belt; a large crucifix necklace, black halter top and wide-brimmed sombrero completed the outfit.
While Ms. Ojeda didn’t intend to make a political statement, many felt it was inappropriate given the rising number of drug related killings in Mexico and the fierce religious debate concerning the legalization of abortion in Mexico.
