what are you ? gay ? keep your North American feminazi ideology to yourself.
young women in bikinis are hottest. Period !
What a strange country we live in!
They do the same thing in most countries.
Good idea about the 35 and over. But the "no-bikini" rule doesn't cut it. It's a beauty Contest for Heaven's sake.
There are many beautiful women with eye-popping bodies aged 35 and over, so they will look very good in bikinis.
I'll let you on to a secret; women ALWAYS want men to have "eyes like lobsters when they come on stage." It's in the nature of the species.
Words of wisdom from my 90 plus year old Tio Jose from El Cibao.
Interesting that the contestants in the photos with the article look like skinny Gringas - hardly representative of beautiful, curvy coffee-colored DR women!
