The Venezuelan designer and fashion advisor, Prince Julius Caesar, will lead the contest Miss Universe Cuba (MUC) in the city of Miami, thus marking the historic return of the Caribbean nation to the beauty pageant after 57 years of absence.
Organizing the event is a “wonderful opportunity,” declared the national director of the MUC to the channel. Telemundo, according to video published in Facebook.
The contest will be held during the summer, in South Florida, because “houses the largest diaspora of the Cuban community", he pointed.
“Everyone can participate” said the designer. “Those who were born in Cuba and who came to this city (Miami).”
Also included are those women who “were born in the United States, but one of your parents has to prove that they are Cuban, with passport and birth registration.”
He stressed that they must be intelligent women and “have a message to carry,” while emphasizing that size or complexion does not matter.
Applications will be sent via the internet and two castings will be held open to the public, he explained to Telemundo.
“The goal is to have 20 women to compete on that final night", declared Prince Julio César who added that prior preparation will be done for three months.
During this period, the young participants will receive catwalk, public speaking, photo posing classes and will carry out a social project.
“The beauty of Cuban women is incredible, I have always thought to myself how is it possible that these women are not in Miss Universe,” commented the Venezuelan designer who admitted to being very excited about this professional opportunity.
According to Prince Julio César, the most striking thing so far has been the “public reception,” considering it incredible a few hours after the official announcement of Cuba's return to the pageant that promotes female beauty.
“People have approached in a beautiful, wonderful way, with pleasant and positive messages,” stressed the artist, highlighting the support that the return of Cuban women to the Miss Universe contest has received.
“That is the gasoline that people give us to continue working,” the Venezuelan emphasized.
