LupitaJones (born María Guadalupe Jones Garay on September 6, 1968 in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico) became the first Mexican woman to win the title of Miss Universe.
Representing the state of Baja California, Jones won the title of Señorita Mexico (Miss Mexico) in September, 1990.
Jones studied business administration and also did post-graduate studies in industrial administration at the Centro de Enseñanza Técnica y Superior in her native city of Mexicali, Baja California.
In 1994 Lupita's company was given the Miss Universe Organization license for the contest in Mexico; in 1995 it was granted the Miss World Beauty Contest license and in 1999 the Miss International license.
Lupita is particularly interested in assisting women who have been left behind, sometimes forgotten, by husbands who have migrated to other countries looking for better jobs and economic opportunity,women and their children who are now on their own and often without the means to afford medical and educational services.
Jones as a surname is common in Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The Jones' event's organizers helpfully add two quotations: "Before you try to keep up with the Joneses, be sure they're not trying to keep up with you" -- Erma Bombeck, U.S. author and humorist (1927-1996).
Those named Jones were being given priority in attending the event and audience members were told to bring proof of identity with them.
Jones is a common family name that comes from the term 'Son of John' but can also be attributed to the name 'Jonah.

Priscila Perales will help LupitaJones rub out her stigma that "she never wanted another Mexican to become Miss Universe." According to El Imparcial, Mexico
Lupita, who sat as one of the judges, was ruthlessly insulted.
She confessed that she felt a lot of pressure from the Mexican people who thought that the Mexican candidate had to win just because she was a judge.

There was no doubt that early favorite Mexico's LupitaJones would do well on pageant night.
But not with stiff competition from the likes of statuesque Paulien Huizinga of the Netherlands hoping to repeat Angela Visser's performance only two years before, and USSR's charming Yulia Lemigova, the first delegate from the USSR.
Lupita prevailed with the help of a large cheering section in the audience giving Mexico it's only Miss Universe crown to date.

Que no se nos olvide que no son espinacas; es una labor bien pesada porque hay que cambiar la visión de todo un país”, dijo en conferencia de prensa.
En nueve años en los que LupitaJones ha estado al frente, el certamen de belleza se ha visto envuelto en controversias que enturbian la credibilidad de sus decisiones; la última de ellas fue la que encabezó la concursante de Big Brother, Azalia, quien declaró que Nuestra Belleza México era un concurso manipulado.
