Spanish Beauty Queen

1929



"Here you have a queen elected by her people! Señorita Candelas Altés, the preciosidad you can see in the picture... unfortunately for yourselves... through a telescope. Oh! Little fiery portuguese men, with your melted hearts and killer eyes like bullets! She was just proclaimed the beauty queen of this beauty paradise, by a popular poll. What do you think? A blessing from above, isn't it? But her charming and spiteful rivals don't think so. They openly accused her for buying votes, like old time deputies... They even talk about cheating, such as this wonderful eyes wouldn't be enough to drive away any suspect of swindle!... What can we do? The bitterness of the throne. To the ex-queen, elected by a jury in a contest, they even called her, you know what? A crossed-eyed! What about she was a crossed-eyes? Wouldn't it be permitted to such a beautiful face, so cute, so perfect, and so worthy of a crown? Throne obliges!! How cruel can people be! A huge fuss!"

Now I understand when the say 1929 was the year of the great depression...

Agora percebo que 1929 tenha sido o ano da grande depressão...
