Around
the world as Mrs. Globe A professional
model with 25 years experience, she is President of Dolores Couceiro
Model Management in Vigo, Spain. Having been happily married for
four years, she looks forward to starting a family. Dolores, a TV
presenter, also works as a journalist. "I mainly
write fashion articles," she explains, adding that she covers
shows in fashion capitals like Madrid and Barcelona. Also a fashion
photographer, her photographs are featured in much sought after
magazines like Vogue. Here for the
Mrs. Sri Lanka pageant, Dolores spoke of her year as Mrs. Globe
during which she served as a delegate for the Women In Need Foundation,
a non-profit organisation specialising in self-esteem and recovery
from abuse for women and children. "During my reign as Mrs.
Globe, I participated in many dinners and charity auctions and travelled
to many countries to raise funds for this cause," she said,
adding that Mrs. Globe serves as the primary fund-raiser for the
foundation. "Being
Mrs. Globe has been a wonderful experience," she says. During her
year, she was able to visit several places and touch many lives.
"The most memorable was when I visited a public school in California
for Hispanic children where I talked to them of simple things like
caring and sharing and the world in general. They were so responsive
and treated me like a queen. It was the best moment of my reign." In Sri Lanka for the first time, Dolores said she hopes to visit historic places, "and of course, go shopping". The
