Hidalik Urbano dreamed of learning to walk on the catwalk, which all aspiring to the Miss Venezuela 2020 title is supposed to show off her beauty in front of the public, but the "Covid-19" pandemic has made the young woman content to follow lessons remotely.
"It was complicated to follow virtual lessons in the modeling field," says Heidelik Urbano, a 25-year-old surgeon and one of the 22 contenders for the Miss Venezuela title.
She added, "I used to dream that I would go to La Quinta every day (the center of the beauty pageant in Caracas), but we have adapted, and I have no regrets about having lived the contest during the pandemic period."
The organizers were forced to innovate through the apps "Zoom" and "WhatsApp" and others, out of respect for the quarantine measures imposed by the Venezuelan authorities in an effort to contain the emerging corona virus.
More than 67,000 cases of this virus were officially registered in this country of 30 million, and 555 people died.
And unlike in previous years' competitions, the competition will not be transmitted directly today, but will be registered during the days preceding this date.
As for Louisette Matiran (24 years), participating in the competition, she believes that "the most difficult thing was the exercises that preceded the opening of (the competition) through (Zoom)", but added: "We have adapted and managed to make a wonderful show."
The beauty pageant is so important in Venezuela that it has been called "the most beautiful evening."
But the economic crisis that Venezuela has been afflicting for seven years, prompted the competition to adapt to this situation, and it was forced to abandon a large part of the luxury that it was previously characterized by.
However, last week, the competitors had a presentation before a jury, and before their presentation before the committee, they put the final touches on make-up and hairdos, with the help of hairdressers and make-up specialists, who all put masks to prevent infection with the emerging corona virus.
And all the staff in the organizing team and all the filters had been tested, to avoid any danger.
The absence of the audience did not prevent the candidate, Lysandra Chirinos, from liking the experience. “I would have preferred the opportunity to have greater communication with the other candidates and with the audience, but I am very happy that I lived this story,” says the 24-year-old student.
Apart from the criticisms of beauty pageants in the era of the # Me To (Me Too) movement, Valentina Sanchez, a graduate in international trade, believes that the Miss Venezuela contest provides "some joy" for Venezuelans in the time of the "Covid-19" pandemic. And the economic crisis.
"MS 1985"
The director of the competition, Nina Cecilia, who was the first Venezuelan to win the "Miss International" title in 1985, confirmed that "everything has been turned upside down because of the quarantine measures" imposed by the government of President Nicolas Maduro, six months ago.
