Señorita México
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Señorita México was the name of a national beauty pageant in Mexico, celebrated since 1952. After 2005, the pageant changed its name to "Miss Mexico". From 1952 to 1993, was the official pageant responsible for sending the country's representatives to the Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International and other international Pageants. After the crowning of Lupita Jones, as the country's first Miss Universe, a dispute between Miss Jones and the pageant organizers over overdued prizes, led to a break of the long time association between the pageant and the broadcast network Televisa[1]. When the pageant moved to another network TV Azteca, a competing pageant called "Nuestra Belleza Mexico" was created, later directed by Miss Jones with the sponsorship of the Televisa TV Network. in 1994 Señorita México lost the bid to Nuestra Belleza Mexico to be the official pageant for the Miss Universe pageant. Later Nuestra Belleza Mexico also obtained the rights of sending Mexico's representatives to Miss World and Miss International. However, the "Miss Mexico" pageant still sends representatives to other international pageants.
