She received more publicity and fame as the only deaf entrant in the Miss Brasil pageant contest among the hearing in 2008 and emerged as first runner-up.[5][6] She also became only the third candidate to participate in Miss International as a Deaf person in competing in the Miss International 2008 contest after two other Deaf contestants Sophie Vouzelaud of France and Vanessa Peretti of Venezuela.[7][8][9]

gollark: Hello! As you may know, I am (barely) staff in old esolangs. For transparency purposes I also share some of the staff discussion which goes on there. They recently complained about this; palaiologos apparently wants me to post *full* context for staff discussions instead of my somewhat small screenshots, including retroactively in the case of the rules change discussion since apparently people have been led to believe that the staff weren't mostly in favour of this. Thusly, here you go.
gollark: And also the permissions system, via [REDACTED] beeonic incursions.
gollark: Well, you are in our hearts.
gollark: Baidicoot is a staff however.
gollark: It would have been nice if the original server was okay, but palaiologistry palaiologizes with increasing metapaliologistics.
