built 186 days ago
Alicia Machado has been the most publicized Miss Universe. It made so much news around the globe that in the 1997 Miss Universe one of the questions to the contestants was "Do you think if the elected Miss Universe gains weight, should she be disqualified as Miss Universe?" to which all answered "No" because whether she, Miss Universe, gains weight or not, she's still the same person.

Alicia Machado did not want to be remembered as the Miss Universe who was overweight. And indeed, history suggests that she was partly a victim of changing tastes. Many of the early Miss Universes, while certainly beautiful, would look heavy on a pageant stage of the 1990s. Thinner women are now in vogue, and the English word "buxom," which was once a compliment to a woman's figure, is now rarely used.
