History
Larissa Costa, Miss Brasil 2009.
"Miss Brasil" competitions began in the 1920s following a trend throughout the world during that period. A famous controversy occurred when Miss Brasil 1929 competed in the International Pageant of Pulchritude but failed to place in the competition, much less win the "Miss Universe" title. The angered Brazilians hosted their own international pageant in 1930 leading to two separate "Miss Universe" titles that year. In the Brazilian competition Miss Brasil received the Miss Universe title while in the American competition Miss United States received the title. The Miss Brasil competition, like many others in the world, was discontinued as the Great Depression and World War II diverted the world's attention.
The modern pageant was created in 1954 in the city of Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro. The first edition of Miss Brasil, won by Bahia's representative Martha Rocha, was sponsored by the Folha de São Paulo newspaper.
Under Diários Associados
Carina Beduschi, Miss Brasil 2005.
In following year, Brazilian media businessman, mogul and journalist Assis Chateaubriand took the rights of Miss Brasil pageant, when the winners take qualified to the Miss Universe, Miss World (participation began at 1958) and Miss International pageants (participation begin in 1960, when the pageant was created). The empire who created Diários Associados, was responsible for diffusion of the national beauties until 1980, when the network Rede Tupi was lost his concessions by order of Haroldo de Mattos, Brazilian minister of Communications at the time, due to its bankruptcy.
The Quintandinha's roots
The Miss Brasil first four editions (1954 to 1957) was held in Palácio Quitandinha, Petrópolis. When Chatô's media group assumed the promotion of pageant, it was massified nationally by its magazines and newspapers coverages, specially now defuncts O Cruzeiro and O Jornal.
All national winners of the pageant in this period were placed at Miss Universe pageant, held in Long Beach, California american state.
Maracanãzinho's "golden years"
On the named Miss Brazil's golden era (began in 1958, when the pageant was moved from Petrópolis to the Federal District at the time, Rio de Janeiro), Rio Grande do Sul's Iêda Maria Vargas and Bahia's Martha Vasconcellos winners of the 1963 and 1968 editions of Miss Universe (both held in the Carioca gymnasium). The same year that Vasconcellos was crowned, Guanabara's Maria da Gloria Carvalho nabbed the Miss International title, while in 1971, Lucia Tavares Petterle was elected Miss World.
Adalgisa Colombo and Rejane Vieira Costa were 1st runners up at Miss Universe in 1958 and 1972 respectively.(See the winners table for 1959, 1962, 1971 and 1979 results)
Due to fire destruction in a part of Maracanãzinho's structure, the Miss Brazil 1970 pageant winner, Guanabara's Eliane Fialho Thompson was crowned in a event edition held only time in Pavilhão de São Cristóvão (São Cristóvão Pavillion), in a carioca northern zone district. Its edition was the first nationally televised by Rede Tupi via microwaves system powered by Embratel.
In 1973, due to lack of public, media interests and possible feminist protests, organizers moved the place to Ginásio Presidente Médici in the country's capital, Brasília. The Miss Brasil 1972 pageant (won by the gaúcha representative Vieira Costa) was the last held in Maracanãzinho's dependencies.
When the Miss Brasil pageant moved to federal capital, Brasília, lack of public continued severally from 1973 to last edition in the city, held in 1980 (when Associados was filed to bankruptcy protection due to closing of seven Rede Tupi's owned and operated stations, except Bahia's TV Itapoan and TV Brasília, now Rede Record and Rede TV!'s, O&O and affiliate, respectivelly).
In 1976 pageant, Helena Rubinstein cosmetics company retired its sponsorship to Miss Brasil event. So, Catalina Swimwear mark continued its support to organization for same years until mid-80's (when the event broadcasting rights was assumed by SBT).
All brazilian presidents of the period (except Ernesto Geisel) were recepted the Miss Brasil state contestants in the Alvorada Palace days before the final nights, hosted by its coordinator at the time Paulo Max and actress Marly Bueno and telecasted by Tupi and its O&O, TV Brasília.
Under SBT
When the channels of defunct Tupi was redistributed for media businessman and TV animator Sílvio Santos and Russian-Brazilian journalist and owner of Manchete magazine Adolpho Bloch groups, on April 23, 1981, the new network SBT (one of the results of the Rede Associada inventory) owned the Miss Brasil until 1989.
Criticism
In the '80s, the Miss Brasil pageant was known the most brega period, by opinion of same fans and television critics. The last top 5 obteined by Brazilian representative in Miss Universe was in 1981, by the Rio de Janeiro candidate in national pageant, Adriana Alves de Oliveira. Because lack of ratings and announcers, SBT retired the promotion of Miss Brasil in April 1990, after the country not participied in Miss Universe 1990.
Format changes
In this period, Miss Brazil pageant was held in separate pageants for Miss Universe (the most expected and important), Miss World and Miss International. SBT telecasted too same state pageants, nationwide in Programa Sílvio Santos and locally by the affiliates, such as TV Alterosa (Minas Gerais) and TV Itapoan (Bahia).
