In this October 18, 2015 photo, contestant Eduardo Ramirez, Miss Gay Trujillo, sits backstage with his hair half-finished ahead of the ninth annual Miss Gay Venezuela beauty pageant in Caracas, Venezuela. Contestants spend a lot of money and time searching for products that are hard to come by in Venezuela, due to currency controls and the scarcity of some goods, such as color contact lenses, hair spray, artificial eyelashes and body make-up.
