People En Espanol’s 51 Most Beautiful?

Ah, it seems only yesterday when Solessence went to People Magazine’s “Los 50 Mas Bellos” party in NYC. The 50 Most Beautiful issue is their hottest selling and biggest issue of the year, and now they’ve found a way to bring their following into the magazine folds: elect a non-celeb for the 51st slot.

Although entries closed on February 3rd, over 5000 submitted their picture online, with plenty of reader feedback. From this, ten finalists will appear on Telemundo, with the winner chosen on February 28. From there, it will be a March reveal and a trip to NY for a makeover/photoshoot, participation at People Magazine’s 50 Mas Bello event, and a spot on a famed Telemundo soap opera.

What do you think of People’s idea to include a “civilian”?

Good luck to the finalists!
