The 60-year-old woman from Argentina was recently crowned Miss Buenos Aires in a beauty contest.
In the event of a victory, she would represent her country in Miss Universe.
Until then, only women between 18 and 28 were allowed to compete.
Now, the only requirement is for contestants to be of legal age.
She was encouraged to sign up by a friend, who became a model at the age of 55.
The new Miss Buenos Aires never worked as a model before.
She has also said that she had to get over stereotypes and prejudice before entering the competition.
Nothing related to this was ever among my goals.
And now this opportunity came up and I found it a very interesting challenge.
She also goes to the gym three times a week.
They say the 60s of today are the 40s of yesteryear, Rodriguez says.
There is a new paradigm in terms of age.
Instead, she holds degrees in law and journalism, and works in the legal department of a hospital.
In the event of a victory, she would represent her country in Miss Universe.
