Raquel Beezley, Miss California USA 2008
Raquel Beezley, has been crowned as Miss California USA 2008 after Christina Silva has been relinquished! Raquel Beezley was originally named the second runner-up during the annual state beauty pageant where Christina Silva was declared as the winner due to wrongly human-made accounting errors on November 25.
“They never could explain their accounting error, but told me that if I didn’t give up my crown to Miss Barstow, my personal integrity could be questioned, and my career could potentially suffer,” said Christina Silva after feeling pressure to step down.
As a reconciliation way, the pageant organisers have allowed Silva to keep her crown, sash and necklace and returned her $1,500 entry fee while duplicates were being made for Beezley.
If you ask who is Raquel Beezley? She was the first woman to be crowned Miss Barstow and Miss Teen Barstow. And when you google Raquel Beezley on Google.com, the first result currently returned is from www.misshkbeauties.com from where you can know Raquel Beezley had once competed in Miss Asia pacific International Pageant 2005 in China.
Anyway, we just feel so sorry for Miss Christina Silva!
