It could be seen almost unfair for another Venezuelan girl to win again.
But as she went escalating trough all the steps of the pageant, we begun to ask ourselves, could it be possible? I tought that the Australian girl was going to win, but when Stefania stood after her i asked myself, could it be? At the end when she won we were all astonished, we thought that was impossible, but there was the girl with the crown in her hair, just awesome.
About Dayana Mendoza hair, what was that? did they comb her hair in that way to not shadow the amazing Stefania hair style?
Funny moment, when Dayana just drops the crown in StefanÃa head "ups, I thought her hair was magnetic" Jajaja! XD

Miss Venezuela Stefania Fernandez was crowned the winner of the 2009 Miss Universe pageant on august 24, 2009.
Last year's winner Dayana Mendoza whispered in her ear that she must have worked hard for Venezuela to win consecutively - the first time in the 57 year-old competition that a country has had back-to-back Miss Universe winners.
When asked during the questions-and-answers phase of the competition, Fernandez said she believed women have overcome obstacles such as hitting the proverbial glass ceiling. "I feel we have reached the level that men are at."
When asked later how she thought beauty contests promoted equality between men and women, Fernandez said they provided exposure to strong role models for the younger generation of girls to follow.
Stefania Fernandez is from the city of Merida, a city in western Venezuela - a South American country where hard-fought pageants are something of a national sport, with contestants widely dissected by the public and the media.
The President of her country, Hugo Chavez, did not meet last year's winner when she took home the crown, but Fernandez hopes he will change his mind in light of the historical back-to-back wins for the country.

Seems like there are plenty of gorgeous women in that country - however, Miss Fernandez was very impressive last night. I was happy she won.
