Miss Singapore World 2009


IT WAS first-time lucky for Miss Singapore World 2009 winner Ris Low.

‘I’m excited because I’ve never been to any of these countries and I’ll get to meet other contestants too,’

MISS RIS LOW, winner of Miss Singapore World 2009, who will be heading to London, Dubai and South Africa to take part in the global finals.

‘It was my first time taking part in the finals of a beauty pageant so I didn’t think I would win,’ said the 19-year-old student.

Her victory last Friday was made sweeter because she had been nursing a cold in the week of the contest, with a fever peaking at below 39 deg C.

‘I tried not to let it affect my performance,’ said the 1.72m-tall Miss Low.

‘After it ended, I headed home to celebrate with my family over a short dinner,’ said the student at the Management Development Institute of Singapore, where she is taking hospitality, travel and tourism courses.

She will be heading to London, Dubai and South Africa in November to take part in the global finals.

‘I’m excited because I’ve never been to any of these countries and I’ll get to meet other contestants too,’ she said.

As the month-long commitment is in the middle of her assessment period, she has arranged to take her exams before leaving.

As part of her preparations, she will be attending grooming classes. ‘I’ll also try to improve my speech and my walk,’ she added.

Miss World Australia 2009

Sophie Lavers, a 24-year-old woman from Canberra, has been crowned Miss World Australia in Sydney. She defeated nineteen other finalists to take the prize and will represent Australia at the Miss World event in South Africa.

The entrants were judged based on several categories including best talent, healthy body image, sports and fitness and beauty with a purpose. An aspiring actress, she is completing an acting course and hopes to build a career in film and television. She is also a qualified fitness instructor and has worked as a Kings Cross waitress.

She has been described in the media as having an "amazing figure" and it has been rumoured that she has used this for modelling work. However, Lavers has said that her body has only been modelled for a good cause: "Some do think that, but I have only ever modelled for charity."

She also doubts much will change for her, at least in the near future. "I'll still get up and probably have peanut butter on toast for breakfast but after that I'm not sure what's happening. I guess I won't be going to work tomorrow."

She explained that all the girls who entered were dedicated to making a difference. "I just think it's like having little angels out there through the country helping in all different areas whether it's with children, or blind people, or the homeless." Lavers also complained that non-stop smiling for the event has left here mouth sore. "I'm not used to smiling for hours on end."

Lavers is now set to head to Johannesburg for the December 12 global competition. "I've got to get a month of outfits ready and get a talent and another speech and everything. Oh goodness."
