The Miss Universe pageant has released a series of video interviews on to YouTube, contrasting previous years where the contestants were featured exclusively on its own site.
Miss Universe New Zealand Ria van Dyke was asked about her worst dating experience and was given a list of sounds to make—to what end, we’re not sure. Considering the questions in the New Zealand pageant discussed poverty and social change, this would have been quite a contrast for van Dyke.
Two other photographs have recently been published on the official Miss Universe New Zealand site and its Facebook page. One is from the official Miss Universe charity auction, with van Dyke’s national gift from New Zealand to the Cancer Institute of Nevada. The artwork was generously donated by New Zealand artist Dave Sotogi (www.desotogi.co.nz). The second is from day three of proceedings, featuring Miss Israel, Bat-el Jobi; Miss New Zealand, Ria van Dyke; and Miss Bahamas, Braneka Bassett.
