Miss Bulgaria Universe hours before the final show

More than two weeks Elena Tihomirova, "Miss Bulgaria Universe 2003" is a part of the great experience called "Miss Universe". The final show of the competition is on the 3rd June and will be broadcasted live on NBC. In the prestigeous contest this year will take part 72 representatives from different countries.

Two of the preliminary rounds have passed - National costume and night dress. Elena was also interviewed by the jury. The dress, which the Bulgarian participant will wear on the 3rd June on the scene of Miss Universe, is designed by Maria Nedkova. The shoes, with which Elena will step on the unlikely sets of moving platforms, are specially made from the same textile as the dress by the Hinso-Rousse company.

Here is what Elena shared hours before the final show from the capital of Panama:

“Although the trip to Panama city was long - more than 24 hours - I was not tired and expected with impatience to get acquainted with the other participants.

The first interesting event that we attended was a vigil on the occasion of the international fight againts AIDS, organised by the World Health Association. We all lit a candle and listened to the president of "Miss Universe" and "Miss Universe 2002" Justine Pasek. The moment was really emotional, it made us all think how careful we should be.

A lot of interesting things happened to us here every day. The programme is loaded. It is full of charity events, fashion shows, cocktails, and of course, rehearsals. The platform is very beautiful - in golden colour and waterfalls. I am waiting with impatience for the moment, in which I will have the honour to present the beauty of Bulgarian women in front of the world.

To be a part of all that is really an unforgettable experience. A lot of memories will be left in my mind from all those exciting moments.”
