Miss Brazil was actually Mrs Brazil...
Beauty pageant organizers stripped Miss Brazil Oh, my! of her title after they discovered she was married. Joseane Oliveira, 21, was replaced on Tuesday by first runner-up Taiza Thomsen, 21, who will perform the beauty queen's duties for the remaining three months of the reign. "Being single is a prerequisite for competing, and Joseane knew that because she signed the contract," said pageant organizer Boanerges Gaeta Jr. Oliveira will have to return $3,360 in prize money but will get to keep the jewels she received for winning the pageant, Gaeta said. That sounds fair. How're you gonna be "Miss" something when there's a hubby waiting for you at home? Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-02-05 |
