Louisville teen wins Miss World

Earlier this year, we learned that our southern neighbor won Miss Universe, but a much closer southern neighbor has now won Miss World.  Alexandria Mills, 18, KY, won the pageant featuring 115 other contestants from around the globe, surpassing runners-up Botswana and Venezuela. 
Mills’ victory came amid a reported controversy however; critics claimed her biggest rival (Miss Norway Mariann Birkedal) was cheated out of the title due to difficult relations between her home country and the show’s host country, China.

Mills says that she wants to pursue a career in teaching...

 ...let's hope she stays in the area!
