In Search Of Ms. Colorado Belleza Latina
We are searching for our first Ms. Colorado and Miss Colorado Teen Belleza Latina. The delegates will represent Colorado in the national pageant that will take place from October 31- November 4, 2001 in Orlando, FL.
 
The Ms. Belleza Latina pageant is unique in a couple of ways. First, the age range is 19-29, most pageant's eligibility ends at 25 leaving many women without a format to compete in. Second, and more importantly, is that single mothers are also eligible to compete. This was the main reason the pageant was created. We also have a Ms. Woman division for women 30 and over.
Maria T. Torres, founder of Ms. Belleza Latina, Inc. explains, "I wanted to create a pageant where the Latina woman of today would be judged on what she stands for, and represents more so than just on physical appearance. Also, one that acknowledges and accepts those that are single mothers. Most pageants do not accept single mothers as contestants. They do not consider it a "good example". I feel that a single mother can be just as good a role model as a woman who isn't." Ms. Belleza Latina, Inc. is an organization that understands our cultural background and works to enhance, recognize, and honor it."
Torres is not new to the world of pageantry. She produced small local pageants in her hometown in Massachusetts. She was Miss Massachusetts Teen USA 1985, where she represented the state on national television in the world's most prestigious teen pageant, owned by the Miss Universe Corporation. Torres has competed and won many titles, including the spokes model competition on the internationally televised show "Sabado Gigante" in 1990.
