Joahana Mariel Lasic, a beautiful girl 20 year-old of Ciudad Autonoma (Capital District), was crowned Miss Universe Argentina 2009 during the pageant held in the Hall of the Americas NH Hotel Provincial on 23th May.
The new Argentinean beauty queen who stands 1.82 m tall will represent Argentina in Miss Universe 2009 Beauty Contest in the Bahamas in August 23.
Crowd favourite, a beautiful Gretel Venecia Otto of Misiones was just a First Princess. Lovely girl Gisela Berger from Córdoba was Second Princess.
Twenty-three young women participated in this year's pageant. This is the first time in the pageant's history that a reigning Miss Universe, Dayana Mendoza, was invited as a guest.
Argentina, a beauty superpower during the early days, has another reason to be optimistic that the memories of old gold days in pageantry will be alive again in this year's international pageants. Just hours ago, May 17, three lovely and gorgeous Argentinian ladies were crowned as the country's top beauty queens to be sent to Miss Universe, Miss International and Miss Earth.
Evelyn Lucia Manchon, 22 years old, finished on top of the Miss Mundo Argentina 2009 or Miss Argentina World in English. She will represent this South American country to the Miss World 2009 pageant in Johannesburg, South Africa and London, UK in December 12.
Announced as First Runner-Up is the crowd favourite, Mercedes Viaña, 18. She will compete at the Miss International 2009 pageant to be held in Japan and China.
The Second Runner-Up who is going to Miss Earth 2009 pageant in Manila, Philippines, is 21-old Gisela Menossi.
The remaining two girls in the Top 5 who won't go to any international pageants are 3rd Runner-Up, Gema Pineda of San Juan; and, 4th Runner-Up is Belen Fernadez of Corrientes.
The rest of the Top 10 are Debora Quiroga of Santa Fe, Guadalupe Ferreira of Catamarca, Micaela Lopez of Salta, Johanna Milsztejn of Tucuman and Paulina Becher of La Pampa.
Goodluck, Argentina. I am one of many beauty pageant fans who is looking forward to see Miss Argentina in the Top 10 of Misses World, Earth or International.
