Rebekah Negrete / Mrs. International 2007

View On Black

Timing Timing Timing! What luck! I was headed towards the Chicago Tribune to take some photos of the King Lear statue when I passed the WGN studio window and saw Mrs. International 2007 being interviewed. I walked over to take photos of the statue and when I was heading back to my car I saw Mrs. International outside the studio speaking with her husband and family.

I approached them and introduced myself. She was more than happy to let me take a photo and even broke out the sash! She had it tucked away in a special bag and took the time and trouble to put it on! What a sweetheart!

She was Mrs. California in 2006 and moved up to Mrs. International in 2007!

The 2008 competition will be held on July 18th and 19th at the Northshore Center for the Performing Arts here in Chicago!

The Beautiful Mrs. Negrete is Stranger number 79 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at 100 Strangers
