Tomo I Pepe Medel Septiembre a diciembre de 2015 Contenido general Presentación……………………………………………………………………………………………. 2 1 Septiembre……………………………………………………………………………………. 3 Octubre…………………………………………………………………………………………. 42 Noviembre……………………………………………………………………………………… 90 Diciembre………………………………………………………………………………………. 126 Presentación Muchos de los lectores de mi blog personal en Facebook History of Beauty (https://www.facebook.com/historiadelabelleza) me han solicitado que republique algunas de las notas que han considerado interesantes y que en su momento no pudieron leer y que además por el tiempo en que las publiqué, es muy difícil buscarlas en la página, a pesar de señalarles la fecha en que las subí a la red. Ante esta situación decidí re trabajar cada una de las notas y organizarlas a manera de un libro en línea que rescate todos esos comentarios y que los interesados lo puedan bajar de 2 la red, imprimir, coleccionar o lo que ustedes decidan. Esta colección que publicaré cuatrimestralmente se denomina: History of Beauty. Comentarios, anécdotas y relatos sobre los concursos de belleza. Es por esto que con mucho gusto les presento el primer tomo de este esfuerzo, el cual comprende las notas publicadas desde la aparición de mi blog el 9 de septiembre de 2015 y comprende hasta la última aportación subida en diciembre del mismo año. Esta publicación incluye las 185 fotografía empleadas en las diversas notas que escribí durante el último cuatrimestre del año 2015 y que en algunos casos, son fotografías que solicitaron subiera y yo aproveché para hacer un breve artículo. Espero que con la lectura de este tomo, los jóvenes aficionados a los concursos de belleza puedan encontrar los orígenes de nuestra pasión y los que ya son grandes conocedores del tema, logren revivir la emoción que nos siguen causando los certámenes que, al menos a mí, se han convertido en parte de mi vida y han convivido conmigo por más de 50 años.
