SASHES AND TIARAS.....Miss World United States 2013 Olivia Jordan

Olivia Jordan has been hand-picked to be the United States beauty representative at the upcoming "Miss World 2013" pageant which will take place on September 28 in Jakarta Indonesia. There was no separate "Miss World United States" pageant held--there hasn't been one in a long time. Back "in the day" (about 20 years ago), the First Runner-up to "Miss USA" would then be sent to the "Miss World" pageant , that's how Halle Berry got to be "Miss World United States" and then compete for the "Miss World" title (she was 5th Runner-up).













But since the Miss Universe Organization and Miss USA Organization are "kissing cousins" and part of the same company, naturally, it became a no-no eventually to have one of their girls go to another international pageant.



Now, back to the new "Miss World United States"...







22 year-old 5' 11' tall Olivia Jordan is originally from Tulsa Oklahoma. She moved to California for fitness training, modeling and acting. This past year, Jordan was crowned "Miss Beverly Hills USA" and then went on to compete in the "Miss California USA" pageant where she placed second.
