Ingrid Marie Rivera, a Puerto Rico Beauty pageant veteran, has won Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2008. The 24-year-old beauty queen won numerous pageant titles including Miss Global Queen 2003, Miss World Puerto Rico 2005 and Miss World Caribbean 2005. So she was jealous and harassed during this year's competition--someone mixed a spicy pepper spray into her makeup, causing her face to swell and break out in hives. Despite the setbacks, Ingrid Marie Rivera managed to beat 29 other candidates on Friday November 23 and win the crown. She is to represent her country to compete at the Miss Universe 2008 pageant to be held in Nha Trang, Vietnam.
