Mrs World Official photos

The beautiful Mrs. Russia Victoria Radochinskaya is announced as Mrs. World 2009. I was named 1st-runner up! What an honor!!!!

Answering the final question "why should the judges choose you to be Mrs. World?"
Dr. Joe Klemczewski is my nutritionist that helped me get ready for Mrs World and Mrs. America. He is phenomenal as a person and a nutritionist. http://www.dietdoc.com/ and http://www.perfectpeaking.com/. He helps me with my nutrition when I compete for triathlons (which helped me to qualify for Team USA 2010 2 weeks before Mrs. America) and prepares me for swimsuit competition on stage. I am so thankful for all of his help. Although I must say the night before this shoot I cheated a bit on my dessert, and when I woke up only to find out there was a swimsuit shoot I thought....oh dear!!! I better arch that back a little more in the photos to help disguise the extra goodies from the night before. :)






Former Mrs. America 2005 Julie Love Templeton was in Vietnam to watch the Mrs. World competition!!

My custom made dress was by Leigh Price for Stephen Yearick Designs. I ADORE this dress and I felt so beautiful when I had it on. I am convinced I had the most beautiful gown in the "World" at the competition. I am so thankful for this gown because Leigh went out of his way to make sure it was perfect for stage and arrived on time!! Sarah Moses of the pageant shop in minnesota http://www.thepageantshop.net/ worked with Leigh to get this gown ready for me. I am so blessed!!!!
