Ingrid Marie Rivera Wins Despite Pepper Spray Attack
 There was a bit of a rumpus when Ingrid Marie Rivera became Puerto Rico's contestant for Miss Universe.The problem? Well she beat the 29 other rivals despite wearing an evening gown which had been coated with pepper spray! Ingrid Marie Rivera did her bit on stage but afterwards had to strip off her clothes and apply ice bags to her face and body. The pageant spokesman, a Harold Rosario, kept a watchful eye (and who can blame him) and said, "We thought at first it was an allergic reaction, or maybe nerves." However her clothes were tested and found positive - for pepper spray. Tut tut! Who would do such a thing? There had been jealousy backstage seemingly as some of her rival contestants complained that Rivera was too experienced and should be disqualified. It seems she had previously won Miss. World Caribbean in 2005 and was a media favourite. Was Ingrid Marie Rivera downhearted? She said, "At one point I said, Am I a masochist? But I said, I am with God and this is my goal, regardless of the results." So all ended okay - though there will a proper pepper prank investigation! DIY Dating.
