Best headline: Mexican beauty queen arrested in gun-filled truck
I'm home where the Aged Ps still subscribe to two analog newspapers. I saw this headline over my mother's shoulder - Mexican beauty queen arrested in gun-filled truck. I assumed she was a FORMER beauty queen gone bad - you know, like the fevered Democratic imaginings of Sarah Palin - but no! She is the CURRENT Miss Sinaloa, and until this arrest was headed to the 2009 Miss International contest to represent Mexico (she was 2nd runner-up in the Nuestra Belleza Mexico pageant, which feeds Miss Universe).
Zuniga told police that she was planning on traveling to Bolivia and Colombia with the men to go shopping, Solorio said.When the former preschool teacher won Miss Sinaloa in July she gave an impassioned speech about how society should value women more, especially mothers. In October, she won the Hispanoamerican Queen beauty contest in October against competitors from across Latin America.
I guess she was demonstrating that women could be empowered by gunrunning? Or maybe she was just going to go to Bolivia for the shopping?
