Five exciting nervous contestants stand forth in front of the judges to be asked a specific question, but only one can be selected to be the winner of this prestigious award and title.

This year the gorgeous Ivette Sausedo from Spain was crowned and selected by the judges to be the next “Queen of the Universe 2013”. What an honor it is to represent the world as “Queen of the Universe”.  She was presented the crown and awarded many prizes that were contributed by many sponsors. Ms Romania is the 1st Runner-up of Queen of the Universe and the 4th (Ms. Israel), 3rd (Ms. Australia), 2nd (Ms. Mexico) came as top runner-up pageants.

Every year, pageants are presented to unite beautiful ladies that make a difference in the world we live in. The contestants are advocates who promote education, beauty, create awareness, and join forces to help their communities.  This event brings forth their beauty, talent and culture.  A winner is selected by judges who feel that this unique individual best fits as a mentor to advocate and give to back to the community.  The lucky winner should have good heart who loves to give back and work with charities around the world. Also, to be a role model who can contribute their time to help others make a difference.

The judges take their time to view the contestants, ask the ladies questions, and examine their beauty before they decide who will be the unique individual who will best fit the role of “Queen of the Universe”.  All the contestants are unique in their own way.  They all have contributed in building a better world, contribute to our society and supporting legit non profit charities.

Being that the pageant took place in California, it would have been excited if Tara Rice from USA had won. However, pageant winners are not selected that way.  Many contestants find their way to be selected to compete for this great honor, the confidence and experience they all gain.  For instance, we present Golsa Sarabi from Iran.  She started her acting and modeling from John Casablancas Company in Vancouver, Canada.  She then decided to move back to Iran to follow her passion in acting. Performing in plays and short movies gave her talent and experience to move back to the United States in 2009.  She also focused in fitness, mind & body.  It brought her to accept the privileged to represent Miss Iran in the “Queen of the Universe” pageant 2013.  The talents these ladies bring forth set a great stage to be presented to compete in a great event such as “Queen of the Universe” pageant.

The judges, contestants, sponsors, family and friends made this event possible.  Everyone contribute their time and efforts to support these fantastic ladies to become all they can be. Good luck to all the contestants. You are all winners!

Andy Cohen from Bravo & Giuliana Rancic from E News to co-host The 2012 Miss USA Competition Sunday, June 3, 2012

On Thursday, March 8, 2012 NBC, Donald J. Trump and Paula M. Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization, announced that the “2012 MISS USA® Competition” will air LIVE on NBC Sunday, June 3 from 9 to 11 p.m. ET from Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas at the Theatre of the Performing Arts. Andy Cohen, host and executive producer of Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” and Giuliana Rancic, co-anchor of “E! News,” will host the competition.

“The city of Las Vegas, one of the most exciting cities in the world, will once again set the stage for the Miss USA competition, giving 51 of the most beautiful women in the country a chance to win the coveted title of Miss USA,” said Mr. Trump. “Planet Hollywood has consistently rolled out the red carpet for our contestants and it is natural for us to host the pageant there.”

Last year, the 2011 MISS USA® Competition on NBC was the #1 show of the night in the target primetime demographic of adults 18-49 and numerous other key demographics.

“The Miss USA competition is one of our favorite summer specials and we look forward to an exciting event live from Las Vegas this June,” said Doug Vaughan, SVP of Special Programs and Late Night for NBC.

The 2012 MISS USA® Competition will feature contestants from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Contestants will be judged in three categories: swimsuit, evening gown and interview. The show concludes with one contestant ultimately being crowned Miss USA 2012.

Adds Shugart: “Not only will we have the hottest show on the strip the night of June 3, but we are excited to welcome back Andy Cohen and Giuliana Rancic as hosts. Andy and Giuliana’s charisma and energy are a great fit for us, and it was obvious they had a lot of fun together at Miss USA last year. We are happy to have them back.”

Andy Cohen is the host and executive producer of “Watch What Happens Live (WWHL),” Bravo’s late night, interactive talk show now airing five nights a week and featuring guests from some of Bravo’s most popular series, as well as from the world of entertainment, politics and pop culture. For last year’s 2011 Miss USA competition, WWHL aired live immediately after the telecast making it the first time the show did a live remote broadcast outside of New York City. In addition to his hosting duties, he is also the executive vice president of development and talent for Bravo and serves as executive producer for “Top Chef” and “The Real Housewives” franchise.

Giuliana Rancic is a co-anchor of “E! News” and host of E!’s hugely popular “Fashion Police.” She is also the executive producer/star of her hit Style Network reality show, “Giuliana & Bill.” Rancic can also be seen co-hosting “Live From the Red Carpet” specials, including the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards.

Also returning as executive producers of the telecast are dick clark productions (dcp) led by Barry Adelman. Last year marked the first time the telecast incorporated a fan vote revealing the 16th contestant, along with a new technology enabling viewers to play “virtual judges” from their home.

The program concluded with Alyssa Campanella, Miss California, being crowned Miss USA 2011. During her reign, she represented the USA in the 2011 MISS UNIVERSE® Competition held in São Paulo, Brazil placing in the Top 16. She has been active in raising awareness for breast and ovarian cancer as well helping promote the USO Wishbook in support of our troops. Campanella has also made numerous TV appearances; most notably as a contestant on Food Network’s “Rachael vs Guy Celebrity Cook-Off’ and as a presenter on NBC’s “American Giving Awards.”

The Miss USA telecast now reaches approximately 90 countries and territories. For more information, visit www.missusa.com.

SE: Why you decided to be part of Mr and Ms Perfect Creatures by Maria Amor?

SR: I was intrigued by the design of this project and how different it was having models compete by showcasing their leadership and humanitarian passions through given challenges.

Initially though, I struggled with the concept of campaigning myself as Ms ”Perfect” because I know I have many flaws as most people do; but like the saying goes ‘..perfection is impossible but the pursuit of perfection can lead to excellence’. Therefore, I decided to dive in and use this as an opportunity to polish my craft as well.

SE: What do you hope to accomplish and what will you give back to the community?

SR: Being just a simple girl trying to make a difference, I just want to inspire others to want to do the same.

I’m so inspired by the spirit and fearlessness in children that my time and efforts in the community will go towards local projects that are focusing on preserving that.

SE: If you win or did not win the competition how would you read act? Why place you want to win and why?

SR: My passion for helping others will indeed continue with or without the crown, winning first place would be the icing on the cake as well as an honor.

It would reap greater opportunities for me to do my work as well as win me a much needed vacation that I look forward to. Nevertheless this project has been about the journey as much as the destination and therefore I have already won.
