Spotlight on One Brown Girl




Tuesday, August 25, 2009
Whether or not you're a fan of beauty pageants, there is no disputing the sea of Brown Girl beauties representing every corner of the world at the Miss Universe pageant. Miss Dominican Republic, Ada Aimée De la Cruz, the 1st runner up in the 2009 Miss Universe pageant held on August 23, 2009, is one such beauty.
According to her bio, Ada was born in Villa Mella and raised in Villa Altagacia and lives with her mother, grandparents, her younger brother and little cousin. In the Dominican press, she is fondly referred to as the Dominican Cinderella because her grandmother was a maid and her family grew up poor. Fluent in both English and Spanish, this 6' Brown Girl beauty is definitely a winner...
JUNE 8, 2010 UPDATE:  Ada has traded pageants for politics at age 23 and will serve as deputy mayor of the municipality where she was born after being elected in the May 16, 2010 legislative elections.  Click here for details.

OMG!!!! I´m From Dominican Republic,and we still in schock with the Situation happened last night.

But we are happy cause we know,that even the Venezuelans,known that Dominican Republic Still deserve the Crown,they really know that their candidate wasn´t that good to win.

But i´m really happy to see that int forums are saying the same thing about Ada,even though she didn´t win she place the Dominican Republic really higher and now on every miss u,every one are going to turn an look to Dominican Delegates.....Congratssss Our Queen.
