Queen of the Universe 2013 benefiting charities were UNESCO (the United Nations Education Science and Cultural Organization), and Beverly Hills Temple of the Arts.
(Note: Please click on the photos to view regular size)
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!

Golsa Sarabi is known as Mirage in the entertainment industry. She was born in Tehran, Iran on August 31, 1983. Her dad is a professional well known carpenter that runs their own family business with her mom in Iran. She has one sister, who is a successful business owner and lives in Iran right now.
Golsa is an actress/model/dancer, and certified Wellness Coach and Trainer. Being in the spotlight and helping others is her dream, so she took acting and modeling classes at John Casablanca in Vancouver, Canada. Educated in Iran, Canada and the USA, Golsa Sarabi has a diverse educational background behind her diploma and certifications. She has earned certifications in personal training, weight management, acting and modeling. Golsa Sarabi had participated in some fashion show runways while in Canada and then later moved back to Iran.
This one on one interview which was finalized on January 2, 2013 is a question and answer format.
Golsa Sarabi = GS and Esteban Escobar = EE
EE: In your own words who is Golsa Sarabi?
GS: Golsa Sarabi has lived in different cities around the world since she was a little girl. Changing locations, living in different societies and cultures, and starting everything over taught her so many great lessons, such as flexibility, strong personality, and dedication. She is a hard working person that when she sets her mind into something, she will definitely overcome the challenges to make it happen. She’s an energetic woman, who loves to inspire people around the world and transfer her love and energy to them. She has so many nice dreams and wishes for humanity and peace around the world, and one thing is for sure about her, that “She is here to use her talents and make a Change.”
EE: Who is Mirage?
GS: Mirage was suggested by one of my great friends, who owns a production company. It has the same meaning as my last name in Farsi, but it seems easier to say and more international for the entertainment industry. I love how it sounds, so unique!
EE: What do you fear the most?
GS: I believe life is full of challenges and different experiences that can teach us great lessons. We mostly fear of things that are unknown to us, but I believe I’m blessed by God’s power and even in the most difficult situations, his love always protects me.
EE: Please tell us about your Awards? and what they mean to you?
GS: I believe the most recent one was winning the title of Ms. Iran and being the candidate for the Queen of the Universe. I have won so many awards at school and college as the honor student, or the most intelligent student, or different gold and silver medals in sports competitions, and great recognition by my acting professors, directors, and even employers. What they all mean to me is, I always enjoy learning and I never feel fulfilled even if I win an Oscar one day, because I know there will be another experience that I never had before, I’ll keep up the hard work for the next role. So, there’s always room for growth as long as I’m alive, and I enjoy working hard for my heart’s passions.
EE: Whom have help you where you are now?
GS: My family has been always a huge support in my life, that I couldn’t have done anything without their help.
EE: What’s next for you in 2013?
GS: So many things. Actually, I always write down my next year’s goals exactly on the last day of the year, and you won’t believe it if I say that thankfully I achieve most of them by the end of the year. I will just shorten them in a few words that definitely there will be more projects and learning in acting and modeling path, fitness business, volunteer jobs, and charity events that have been already planted from 2012. I feel 2013 is the year that the seeds that I have planted from 2012 will start growing step by step.
EE: How would you like or want people to remember you when you die?
GS: A fearless top actress, that people enjoy her projects even though she’s not alive anymore. Also, the person who has made different moves for humanity, and helped so many people with a kind heart and nice smile.
EE: Whom you would like or want to thank?
GS: First, I would love to thank my family for their support. Then, all of my wonderful friends and fans, and most importantly my wonderful manager Sean Noori, and all of my amazing sponsors, especially Pars TV which I wouldn’t be able to continue my path without their strong supports. Also, I would love to appreciate the president and the whole pageant’s crew that have been giving me this wonderful opportunity to take this path with them, and all of their hard work and effort. It was absolutely a phenomena experience!! And last but not least, a special thanks to all the Iranians around the world. Love, Peace and Happiness to the whole world, “Happy 2013”
