Laura Dundovic, is Australia’s nomination for the Miss Universe Pageant. The final contest will be held on 14 July at the Diamond Bay Resort, Khanh Hoa Province, in Nha Trang.

NBC will televise the event live back to 13 million viewers in the US and therefore it will start at 9am (hope the contestants have remembered to get rid of their “morning breath”). The organisers claim that globally, there will be 1 billion viewers from 170 countries.

The contest is an opportunity for “beautiful young ladies from more than 80 countries not only to share their culture but also their values, intelligence, talent and beauty” according to the Miss Universe website.

According to the Vietnamese Swans, Laura was absolutely stunning. She has a list of talents, skills and ability as long as her legs – apart from the fact that soccer is her preferred sport!

Laura says that she is planning to complete her honours degree and become an Organisational Psychologist and, ultimately, would like to own her own consulting business.

From all of the Swans, thank you very much Laura and the very best of luck in the Big One on 14 July. You would be an extremely worthy winner.
