In an unexpected move, Miss Universe officials decided to release some topless photos of the outgoing Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza. The photos will be published in the September issue of the Maxim Magazine. Previously, had any such nude or topless photos of a title holder came out, she would have been stripped off her title.
Paula Shugart, President, Miss Universe Organization, said that the images of Dayana Mendoza do not contain anything salacious. They were just beautiful. Pageant officials said that Mendoza was not shooting for any porno magazine. Maxim is a men’s magazine and it has been publishing such pictures for a long time. So it is not a problem.
The title winners get an opportunity to be photographed by high profile fashion photographers in New York. Any photos that would create controversy are not published anywhere. They are just kept in beauty queen’s profile. The topless photos of Mendoza were taken by Fadil Berisha in the Bahamas. Mendoza was very happy with those photos but before sending them to any magazine, she first came to Miss Universe officials and informed them of the matter and they gave their approvals. The photos will be published in latest issue of the Maxim magazine that would be available on August 18, 2009. If you are not ready to wait that long you can also visit the Maxim website where the photos have already been posted.
