Photo Story: New Star is Born in Sofia

Photos by Kameliya Atansova Text Nadya Dimitrova Beauty and glamour took over Bulgaria's capital Wednesday evening immediately after the football passions cooled off. Twenty young girls waited patiently for the footballers to leave the field of the national Vassil Levski stadium and let them take over the catwalk at the Maria Luisa swimming complex. These twenty beauties aged 14-21 were the lucky model wannabes picked from more than 800 contestants for the Supermodel of Bulgaria 2005 beauty pageant. Just one of them, however, saw her dream come true Wednesday night. Kristina Veroslavova swept the prestigious title at the contest organized by the Xground modeling agency. Kristina's runner-ups are Mirela Trakiiska, Biserka Velcheva and Veselina Spilkova, all aged 16. Click on the pictures below to dive into the glamour of the beauty event.
