Alejandra Rodriguez, a 60-year-old lawyer and journalist, was the winner of Miss Universe Buenos Aires and will fight to represent the country in the international edition of the pageant. A change in the rules of the competition which each year chooses the most beautiful beauty in the world allowed Rodriguez to participate in the competition in the province of Buenos Aires, a prelude to Miss Universe Argentina and the global Miss Universe competition. A few months ago, the organization had decreed the abolition of the age limits which required competitors to be between 18 and 28 years old.
“I am very happy to represent this new paradigm in beauty pageants, because we are ushering in a new phase where women are not just physical beauty, but another set of values. I am the first of this generation to start with this,” she said. declared Rodriguez to the television network El Trece. Her secret? A healthy lifestyle, eating well, being physically active, as well as on normal and not extraordinary treatments and on a bit of genetics. “What I try to do in general is intermittent fasting, which is going for a period of time without eating; I think that helps a lot. I try to eat organic foods, use good creams and things like that.”
Rodriguez is now looking forward to the May 25 event in Buenos Aires, where she will compete to become the new Miss Universe Argentina and earn a ticket to the international edition of the pageant. The South American country has won the competition only once, in 1962 with model Norma Nolan as its candidate; although she boasts two victories in the other global beauty pageant, Miss World, in the hands of Norma Cappagli (1960) e Silvana Suarez (1978).
