Ana Gabriela Espinoza, Miss Mexico Wins Miss International 2009 Beauty Pageant in Chengdu, China.







Anagabriela Espinoza Marroquin, a 21-year old student and model from Monterrey, Mexico, emerged as the winner of the Miss International 2009 contest held at the Tennis International hotel in Chengdu, China, on November 28th. 1.78 m Espinoza, a former Miss World semi-finalist, now becomes the second Miss International titleholder for Mexico. Priscila Perales won the title recently, in 2007.

The 1st runner-up was Miss Korea, Eun Mi Seo, who was visibly emotional upon receiving her award. She captured the attention of the judges by being one of the few delegates who competed with short hair.

2nd runner-up was Miss United Kingdom, Chloe Beth Morgan. Completing the Top 15 were the contestants from Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Finland, Japan, Panama, Philippines, Spain and Venezuela.

Very criticized is the absence of women of color in this pageant’s finalists. In the whole decade, only three women of color placed in the finals: Senegal in 2001, Colombia in 2004 (who eventually won) and Colombia in 2006.

Mexico was always one of the major favorites for the title among pageant followers, including the judges at the Global Beauties Leaderboard, who voted her in the 1st place. The Miss International 2010 contest will take place at the Expo in Shanghai, China, next October.

Larissa Ramos from Brazil, Miss Earth 2009 Suprise Winner.

She's not really given huge publicity leading up to the grandfinals but suddenly came out as winner.Even her win as Miss Earth Brazil was branded by some as boring as the pageant venue had many empty seats and kinda cheap production but for now....congrats!
