Miss Venezuela’s pageant director says inner beauty doesn't exist. It’s just something ugly women made up to justify themselves.
Veteran head of the Miss Venezuela pageant, Osmel Sousa, who is claiming responsibility for starting his country's obsession with cosmetic surgery, recently dismissed the concept of inner beauty as a concept invented by ugly women to make themselves feel better.

Sousa made the revelation in a recent New York Times report examining a trend among the country's mannequin makers to redesign the display figures to match the look of the growing number of cosmetically enhanced women in Venezuela.

"When there is a defect, I correct it," said Sousa. "If it can be easily fixed with surgery, then why not do it?"
"I say that inner beauty doesn't exist. That's something that unpretty women invented to justify themselves," he added.

So here you go, try not to throw too many things at the computer while he’s talking
Meanwhile, he has released a statement denying he ever said that and that the New York Times twisted his words
"Our ambassadors' beauty is not only portrayed on the outside, but they are also intelligent, solidary, and socially sensitive. Otherwise, we couldn't achieve a thorough preparation, with a lot of sacrifice and great discipline that allows them to participate in international competitions in different parts of the world."

Sousa ends his statement with the following, "We have built an organization that is an important reference for our country and the world about the beauty, talent and ability of Venezuelan women. Evidence of this is the career path undertaken by our candidates after their participation in beauty pageants. Venezuela is a leader and an example of this, and our image is valued on all continents thanks to our organization."

"I regret the misunderstanding arising from the interview published recently in the New York Times linking the Miss Venezuela contest with fashion design mannequins. The millions of fans of the Miss Venezuela Organization feel proud that Venezuela has won crowns at the Miss Universe and Miss World pageants and know the criteria that makes a woman the most beautiful in the world, and we have achieved that on many occasions as a result of the efforts and interest in working with the woman as a whole."
