Our generation believes that age should never be a bar for whatever we aspire for. People like Alejandra Marisa Rodriguez are a living example of this spirit and the immense capabilities of human passion. Alejandra won the title of Miss Universe Buenos Aires at the age of 60, beating contestants one third of her own age.
Alejandra has defied all odds and challenged all standards set by the society which favors the young in pageant competitions like Miss Universe. Her determination for it proved that age can never restrict us from achieving what we want in life.
Alejandra is a lawyer and a journalist by profession from La Plata. The 60 year old competed against women as young as 18. Her victory is seen as a global shift from the traditional youth centric image of beauty.
Alejandra has become a news sensation in the beauty pageant industry and her victory is celebrated everywhere. The competition had removed age restriction for participating last year only which allowed Alejandra to compete. She is hopeful of participating in the international Miss Universe competition as well after her success in Miss Universe Buenos Aires.
