Venezuela is known for a lot of things: Hugo Chavez, Angel Falls and having the most beautiful women in the world. For a country that is relatively small, it has churned an impressive number of international pageant winners, most recently Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza.

Behind every beauty queen is the 60-year-old Osmel Sousa, president of the Miss Venezuela pageant. He also runs a beauty school in the hills of Caracas, a large pink building where the country's most beautiful women go in search of perfection.

"In other countries there is no organization like there is here," says Sousa. "We have our school where the girls are prepared for this philosophy: to be beauty queens." The aim is "to make them perfect."
