60-YEAR-OLD WINS MISS UNIVERSE BUENOS AIRES

Alejandra Marisa Rodríguez, a 60-year-old Argentine, was crowned Miss Universe for the province of Buenos Aires on Wednesday. Rodríguez’s victory is being celebrated as a significant milestone in challenging ageist norms and redefining societal standards of attractiveness. She will next be competing alongside women chosen from each province of the country. Rodríguez expressed her joy at being chosen to represent this new paradigm in beauty pageants, saying, “I am thrilled to be representing this new paradigm in beauty pageants because we are inaugurating a new stage in which women are not only physical beauty but another set of values. I am the first of this generation to start with this.”
* It didn’t hurt that she’s one of the judge’s Mommy.
* The only people who watch beauty pageants anymore are people over 70, so she’s considered quite the youngster.
* Well, they say you age much slower in space.
* At 60, her talent is just waking up in the morning.
* 65-year-old Madonna – still breaking down barriers for women.
