If she's representative of what Puerto Rico has to offer, I may have to re-visit my position on Puerto Rican statehood, immediately.
I would at least want to discuss the matter with her, thoroughly ;-)
God bless you.
Best.
Post.
Ever!
Giggety!
Wow....better pics suggest I may have picked a winner. Shes a babe indeed.
I agree that most of the pics from today's preliminary photoshoot aren't the best. Hopefully some better ones will be forthcoming as the contest gets underway.
Albeit I was thrown off by that IUD thingy hangin off her left thigh near the intersection of that red dress....might be a fishin lure ?
ROTFLMAO!!!! Well, whatever it is, THAT's what a lass can use to catch a stoat ;-)
Nite.
Goodnight and thank you (and everyone else) for participating in the thread :-)
I want Ivan Vejar’s job!
Miss ISRAEL, Bat-El Jobi Loving the FAME! « Adventures of a Beauty Queen
Well, she’s cute but not drop dead gorgeous. She’s very exotic looking in the second photo.
I think Croatia is the drop dead gorgeous one so far.
God bless you.
Best.
Post.
Ever!
hehe! Thank you so much for your kind words :-) I'm delighted if you and others are enjoying the thread, and may God Bless you and yours as well :-)

Thanks Stoat.
God Bless you and thank you for being so polite with the pictures.
