Brittany is a professional model and was also one of the finalists of the famous show – America’s Next Top model. She was chosen to represent Miss USA at the Miss World 2009 pageant after her successor Carrie Prejan was stripped of the title earlier this year.

Miss World 2009 is the most famous beauty pageant of all time and will see 120 contestants compete for the crown.

It will be Parvathy Omanakuttan’s great fortune to win and follow in the footsteps of Aishvarya Rai, Sushmita Sen to go on to be a Bollywood star.

However, Merica Lane Lindell is sure to have dreams of her own.
