Miss Dominican Republic Universe 2014, Kimberly Castillo, has a month left to call herself that before she crowns her successor. At Miss Universe, Kimberly was one of my favorites, but the DR is almost always in my Top 15 out of pure bias (I am part Dominican). First, let's start with where it all began. The crowning.
Kimberly Castillo was crowned on August 17, 2014 in Santo Domingo.
"No existen palabras para agradecerte tu tiempo, apoyo y sobre todo amistad, te hable de este sueño desde el día 1, y sin dudar lo hiciste tuyo, tu disposición y entrega sirvieron de motivacion en este trayecto, me hiciste brillar en cada presentacion porque a parte del talento que sobra en ti, hay algo mas y es que lo haces con amor, gracias mil gracias! Esta corona tambien es tuya!"

Then, Kimberly did one of her first interviews as Miss DR on Sigue La Noche.

Kimberly had one of the best swimsuit bodies, in my opinion. It was long and lean like a super model. Very similar to Gabriela Isler's.
So, in conclusion, I think it's been a pretty kick-ass year for Kimberly Castillo. I will be sad to see her give up the crown on August 23, but also excited to see what's next for her after Miss Dominican Republic.
