Miss Puerto Rico's Makeup and Dress Doused With Pepper Spray
Miss Puerto Rico 2008 Ingrid Marie Rivera earned her sash the hard way. The contestant's makeup and dress were covered in pepper spray before she graced the pageant stage Friday night in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Associated Press reports.
And while the consummate pageant pro maintained her composure in front of the judges, she stripped off her clothes as soon as she got backstage, where her body and face broke out in hives, twice.
A pageant spokesman told the AP, "We thought at first it was an allergic reaction, or maybe nerves. But the second time, we knew it couldn't have been a coincidence."
The pepper spray incident came after Rivera was robbed of her gowns, makeup and credit cards, and the pageant itself was delayed due to bomb threats.
A tearful Rivera explained her perseverance at a press conference on Sunday, telling reporters, "At one point I said, `Am I a masochist?' But I said, `I am with God and this is my goal, regardless of the results.'"
