In the recent [tag]Miss Universe[/tag] pageant, Miss Japan 2006 Kurara Chibana deserved to win. She must have been disappointed because she just walked out of the stage as soon as she received her flowers. Maybe she just needed to be alone to feel her disappointment.
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) — Forty minutes into her reign as Miss Universe, Miss Puerto Rico Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza collapsed during a post-pageant news conference and was rushed offstage Sunday night.
Pageant officials immediately said the lithe 5-foot-9 18-year-old was all right and had fainted.
“She’s OK. She’s fine,” pageant representative Lark Anton told Reuters. “She got dizzy. It’s very hot up here. Her dress is tight — as you could see it was beaded and heavy. She passed out.”
The Miss Universe pageant this year is full of surprises.
