Priscila Perales
Miss Mexico Universe 2006
Priscila was born February 24, 1983. Her parents divorced when she was at a tender age of 5. Despite all the turmoil she faced as a child, Priscila is still very grateful for the kind of family she has. She reveals that she owes all her achievements to her mom whom she considers as her greatest inspiration.
On a Friday night, September 2, 2005, Priscila Perales Elizondo topped the highly contested Nuestra Belleza Mexico 2005, beating over 33 contestants from different Mexican states to earn the right to represent her country at the Miss Universe 2006 pageant. It is interesting to note that Priscila originally placed second in her state pageant (Nuevo Leon) the previous year. She came back in full glory to finally secure the Miss Nuevo Leon 2005 title, paving way for the fulfillment of her longtime dream of joining the grandest beauty contest in Mexico.
During
the
coronation
night
of Nuestra Belleza Mexico
2005
(Our
Beauty
Mexico,
if
translated
in
English),
one of the
pageant's major sponsors presented her with
"an award for excellently exemplifying the attitudes and ideals of their
company." Members of the media and photographers also chose her for the Miss Photogenic title.
It was during the interview portion when Priscila stood
out-
unlike the rest of of her co-finalists, she forthrightly answered the
final
question with perfect logic, diction and syntax- enough to outclass the heavy favorite Daniela Cosio of Baja California Sur who settled as her substitute and
Puebla's Karla Jiménez Amescua
who
went
home
with
the
Nuestra Belleza
World
title.
In a press conference after the pageant, Priscila made a commitment that she won't let her country down in Miss Universe. "Expect all the best in me,"
she
promised.
Here she is showing her exceptional stance. We cannot help but compare her to the goddesses in pageantry:
Greece' Evelina Papantoniou & Russia's Oxana Federova.
At

Priscila also slithers like a goddess with incredible figure!
