On 20th March 2017, Laura Gonzales was crowned as the Miss Colombia 2017. Laura has earned the right to represent the country at the Miss Universe 2017 pageant. While everything was going fine, social media started trending a moment from the finale that saw Miss Bogotá Vanessa Dominguez Field’s sore reaction over not making it to the Top 3 finalists.
No matter what competition you are in, it’s not easy to be a good sport when you lose. During that moment of loss, you often forget that you are in front of an audience and you have to be gracious. A similar kind of situation was faced by Miss Bogotá Vanessa Dominguez Field when the beauty missed out on the Top 3 slot. Vanessa Dominguez could barely control her rage when she lost to Miss Antioquia Vanessa Pulgarin Monsalve as one of the top 3 finalists.
The camera captured Dominguez face as the host announced the result, and Dominguez was seen looking down disappointed. Instead of graciously congratulating her competitor, she was seen in a barely repressed fury. After several seconds of petulant pouting she eventually manages to compose herself to give Miss Antioquia a lukewarm hug.
Internet users found Miss Bogotá’s reaction hilarious and started circulating memes recalling the awkward moment. One post featured her face with “I hate you all” emblazoned on the picture. Her livid look was also compared to Lisa Simpson in a bad mood, a reproachful looking dog with the caption: “The face of the Miss Bogotá”, and a scowling old lady.
It’s not the first time a beauty queen contest in Colombia has been engulfed in controversy. In July 2016 a winner had her glittering crown snatched off her head by a jealous runner-up at the country’s Miss Bambuco International pageant. Also last year, Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, 21, was announced as the Miss Universe winner at a ceremony in Las Vegas, only for the crown to be taken off her and given to the real winner, Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach.
Talking about Miss Bogotá Vanessa Dominguez Field, it’s okay to have such a reaction. Maybe Vanessa is just to competitive. She is pretty stunning and we don’t think there the beauty has too much to worry about. But one thing is for sure that the memes circulated are quite funny. Watch her reaction here...
