A jury of six women and five men picked Carine Felizardo among 15 finalists in the second annual edition of the contest, “Miss Bumbum”, held in a Sao Paulo. Andressa Urach, another 25-year-old model from the southern state of Santa Catarina finished second while 21-year-old Camila Vernaglia from Sao Paulo state was third. “I’m very happy with the victory. I was confident because I know I’m in my best shape right now,” said Ms. Felizardo. “I expect much change for the better from now on.” Pageant organizer Cacau Oliver, a well-known female beauty spotter, said: “I think that the tropical climate, the carnival and all this racial mixing gives the Brazilian woman a unique bio-type on the planet.” He continued: “The Brazilian woman’s derriere is a part of the body that the whole world admires and the contest just reaffirms this.” 25-year-old Carine Felizardo, who receives R$5,000 (approximately $2,560) in prize money, has reportedly accepted an invitation to pose nude for the cover of Sexy magazine’s January 2013 issue. Asked what makes a woman sexy, the pageant winner replied: “Women have to love yourself.”
