-2011

The new Miss Moldova 2011 is Veronica Popovici, 21 and an economics student at university. She won the coveted title last night during a glittering pageant, beating out 21 other competitors. She will now represent her tiny Eastern European nation at Miss World 2011. See video highlights of the pageant - and more pix - at this Moldovan newspaper's website. Of course, Lorraine, Beauty School's Librarian, is in love with those amazing platform shoes of Veronica's and is going to get herself to Payless Shoes tomorrow to try to find a pair just like them!
