Miss Australia Wins Miss UniverseFrom correspondents in Quito, Ecuador
June 2, 2004
MISS Australia Jennifer Hawkins was named Miss Universe 2004 in a two-hour pageant watched by hundreds of millions of television viewers around the world.
Miss Hawkins, 20, a 180cm-tall blonde with blue eyes, was chosen from among 80 beauty queens representing their respective countries.
She lives in Sydney’s Bondi and is a Newcastle Knights cheerleader.
First runner-up was Miss USA Shandi Finnessey.
The ceremony took place at a convention centre on the northern outskirts of Quito, the Andean capital, where 7500 spectators gathered to witness the crowning of the world’s most beautiful woman.
The three other finalists were Miss Puerto Rico Alba Reyes, Miss Paraguay Yanina Gonzalez, and Miss Trinidad & Tobago Danielle Jones.
There’s nothing very special about her as far as I can see. I’d far rather feast my eyes on any of the scores of super-lovely xiaojies that I see about me in Taipei every day.
