Fox News - A Mexican beauty queen is crying foul after she was stripped of her title – and she claims it was because she put on a mere six pounds. Last September, Cynthia de la Vega was first runner up for Nuestra Belleza Mexico, a position that normally goes on to compete in Miss World. (The contest's winner competes in Miss Universe.) A slightly more curvaceous de la Vega held a press conference last week claiming she was a victim of overzealous pageant organizers, who booted her for going a little heavy on the food and gaining a few pounds. On Tuesday, she appeared on Good Morning America saying she was “sad and very deceived.” “I cried and cried and cried,” she told the show. The 19-year-old said all she wants is to represent her country. The pageant’s move disqualifies her from being a contender of the Miss World contest, which is in November. But pageant officials say her removal had nothing to do with a chunkier de la Vega. Instead, they said, her title was stripped because she showed a lack of discipline and failed to meeting the ceremonial obligations of a well-behaved beauty queen. “The training of a beauty queen is equivalent to the training of an athlete – there is no cutting corners on sleep, a zero tolerance for alcohol, and long hours of preparation,” Lupita Jones, Mexico’s first Miss Universe winner, who now heads Nuestra Belleza. Keeping de la Vega “was a risk we couldn’t take,” Jones said.
Preach Lupita, Preach! Lupita gets it...You can't just rest on your laurels once you're a mexican beauty queen, shit's not all chalupo's, guac, and baby chimi's once you get that crown, this is a full time job and you have a responsibility to keep that ass in shape, you're representing Federali's everywhere.
PS: She was only the frigen runner up...like I could almost understand crying if you were the winner, that'd be something to be upset about...but you were second place, which means you were probably already a few pounds overweight anyway.
