Here’s something I ran across on Mexico’s Excelsior<\/a>. They held a beauty pageant in a Mexican women’s prison in Escobedo, part of the Monterrey metroplex in northern Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winner was Melissa, awarded 5,000 pesos. The runner-up was Martha, who won 4,000 pesos. In third place was Carmen, who won 3,000 pesos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pageant was entitled Mi Belleza Interna<\/em>, which has a double meaning. It could mean “My Internal Beauty” or it could mean “My Beautiful Inmate”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It just goes to show you that even in prison women care about their appearance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Excelsior<\/em>, the contestants “demonstrated their talent in dancing, folkloric dance, singing, modeling and oratory.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The pageant began with 173 participants and was finally winnowed down to the 3 top places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn’t even aware of the existence of prison beauty pageants but I looked it up on the internet and it’s a thing. They’ve been held in various countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The articles I saw didn’t tell what Melissa, Martha and Carmen were in for, but here’s a video about a prison pageant in Brazil entitled Killer Wins Beauty Pageant In Women’s Prison<\/a>. Drop-dead gorgeous?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in Mexico, here is a photo of runner-up Martha, but her face is blurred:
