Miss Venezuela 1999[]

Thorogood competed in the national beauty pageant Miss Venezuela 1999 where she won the title. She also won the special awards of Miss Internet and Miss Integral. She represented the state of Miranda at the contest.

Miss World 1999[]

Thorogood was the official representative of Venezuela to the Miss World 1999 pageant held in London, England, UK on December 4, 1999, where she finished as the 1st Runner-up to the eventual winner, Yukta Mookhey of India.[1][2]

After competing in Miss World she was to compete in Miss Universe 2000 but her entry was denied by the Miss Universe Organization because she was the 1st Runner-Up in Miss World and there was a chance that she could assume the title should the winner resign or lose her crown.
