The photo shows Miss Universe 2010 title holder Ximena Navarrette having natural facial hair. Something which, in this age of cosmetic enhancements and “perfect” women, is a breath of fresh hair … I mean, air. As a representative of her country in a prestigious pageant she could definitely have done something to it. However, the thought of removing it probably never entered her mind, and it shows a lot of character and confidence in oneself.

It is easy to spot candidates with fake boobs, hips, and botox. Having a winner like her does a lot to show that true beauty goes beyond skin deep.

Does this represent a changing in the world’s perception of beauty? Maybe next year’s winner will have hair in her armpits and chest. On second thought, maybe not … =D
