It’s then when Promociones Gloria, organizers of Miss Bolivia, named her Modelo Revelación 2000. A year later, Pinheiro participated and became one of the favorites at International Queen of Flowers 2001 in Colombia, a pageant that was eventually won by Lilián Villanueva of Mexico.
In 2002, she participated in her fourth international competition, Miss Intercontinental in Germany and a year later, represented Bolivia in her fifth contest, International Female Model 2003 in Aruba.

However, Olivia Pinheiro lied about her age, stating she was 24 years old. Journalist, Carlos Valverde, got hold of her original and fake birth certificates. In January 2011, Olivia Pinheiro declined her participation in Miss Universe 2011 due “to personal reasons”, however she never answered to questions relating to her real age. Promociones Gloria, owner of Miss Universe franchise in Bolivia, announced that the winner of Miss Bolivia 2011 would participate in Miss Universe 2011.
Notwithstanding, in June 2011, Olivia Pinheiro and Promociones Gloria announced that Olivia would remain the Bolivian representative to Miss Universe 2011.

After a difficult year, we managed to pull off by hosting a virtual competition on CURACAO.
Successfully we got even more than we expected to make. And this marks the first steps towards change in the fashion and beauty industry on the island.
What we realize is that even though we make it possible for everyone to get fitted and get the best possible treatment, it’s difficult – and you understand why scams and under-graduated persons get with their courage people to follow them. Most of the time in realizing the participation of our delegate this year, whom was selected through as the best prepared one out of the bunch using the international pageant judging criteria which includes overall appearance, beauty of the face, swimsuit fitness, poise and elegance, personality, local and global awareness and intelligence. 

After the season the winner was Miss Marvia Laurence, whom still we got many pending process to handle during her reign, but we are happy that she got the opportunity to represent our nation and made one of her dreams true. But also managed on the day after the final to get the distinction of Miss Amity.
This marks CURACAO as the friendliest nation in the industry of recognized and internationally known pageants, after we got the Miss Teenager Universe Congeniality (former Miss Caraibes Hibiscus Curacao) Ruenna Mercelina, we’ve got Miluska Willems ad Miss Earth Bikini Princess,  the international crown of Miss Evalina van Putten as Reina HispanoAmericana. 

With a excellent young, determined and professional team we will be working towards a new approach for change in the industry on the island. Upcoming work will be getting the real records cleaned and real on Curacao, and making international exchanges something that really bring more profit to the islands’ youngest generation whom invest in the industry. 

2012 will be simply heavy, if we all commit to sincerity, honesty and real love to accomplish the best for our nation.
