With much media attention being paid to the first lady of France, Carla Bruni, and speculation about who will be the next first lady of the US, we thought we'd spotlight some first ladies of our own. Those ladies who placed as first runner-up at the Miss Universe pageant over the years. The spotlight this time goes to Louise Drevenstam, Miss Sweden 1989. She finished as first runner-up to Angela Visser of Holland. What we loved about her was her sweet almost fragile demeanor, the fact that she was having a hard time understanding what was happening around her in a language that was foreign to her, and the fact that she kept trying. She made it through to the final question, when she was asked what she would do if someone asked for a radical haircut (she was a beautician) and she said something like, to paraphrase, "I would say is not a good idea." She was adorable, beautiful and a breath of fresh air. The spotlight is on you, Louise.
