Mr. Young Venezuela is barely on its third year but it can churn out deserving candidates that can either make or break hopes, dreams and hearts. Year in and year out Venezuela never fails to bring us more surprises especially one of masculine package and trimmings. And I was looking at the roster of candidates as well as as the previous winners of Mr. Young Venezuela, one wonders why Venezuela has the monopoly of owning such gorgeuous specimen of manly beauty that equals the sum of the trophies they earned each year. Other countries
can't help ... but traces and residue of jealousy and envy is in the air.

Two contenders featured today were non winners; Alexander Jose Cova Guarenas and Yamir Rafael Velasquez Garcia. Imagine seeing them bite the dust ... how much more can be said of the winner himself. If these two non-winner be given a chance to represent other countries, I bet my bottom dollar ... they would gladly accept them as their REP.

Addendum: Yamir Rafael Velasquez eventually got his own title winning Mr. Carribean Venezuela making his country and family proud.
