Guess next time someone will spike the make up with poison

I'm sure beauty pageant contestants across the country are coming up with ideas for what to put on dresses and in make up in the future. I'd put my money on drano or battery acid being next. I don't think pageant officials will do anything to stop it, certain to increase ratings.

Beauty pageant organizers were investigating Sunday who doused a contestant's evening gowns with pepper spray and spiked her makeup, causing her to break out in hives.

Beauty queen Ingrid Marie Rivera beat 29 rivals to become the island's 2008 Miss Universe contestant, despite applying makeup and wearing evening gowns that had been coated with pepper spray, pageant spokesman Harold Rosario said.

Rivera was composed while appearing before cameras and judges throughout the competition. But once backstage, she had to strip off her clothes and apply ice bags to her face and body, which swelled and broke out in hives twice.

"We thought at first it was an allergic reaction, or maybe nerves," Rosario said. "But the second time, we knew it couldn't have been a coincidence."

Rivera's clothing and makeup later tested positive for pepper spray.

is truly disgusting. I hope they catch the culprit and pen her "pretty face and lovely body" up in jail...
