Officials of a pageant emphasizing indigenous looks disqualified the winner due to cheating. The original winner- Mariela Molinedo- wore “fake braids”, a vital part of the look of Aymara women from the capital of La Paz (see image). Molinedo’s replacement- who one assumed had real braids under her bowler- was selected yesterday.
