This week Aussie model and aspiring social worker, Jesinta Campbell was decorated with the second runners-up sash in the prestigious Miss Universe pageant.
She also won the award for ‘Miss Congeniality’ for her sense of humour and warm personality. Good on her!

The fact her personality shone so brightly, in my mind, makes her more attractive and more interesting.
