Claudia Henkel, who won two titles at once and became Miss South Africa 2004 and Miss Veet Legs on December 11, 2004, is going to represent her nation at Miss Universe contest this May.
According to News24, spokesperson for the organiser Sun International Thoko Qoboza said it's only the second time in the history of this beauty pageant that the same woman conquered both titles.
When Claudia Henkel was a teenager, the blond beauty had hard times at Pretoria Girls' High because of her height - Claudia stands 6 feet tall. But that height helped her get noticed in modeling business and made her Miss Veet Legs and Miss South Africa 2004, the title she dreamed about since she was a child.
Yet, modeling is not her only passion as Claudia has studied law for two years and plans to continue her education after the year dedicated to her Miss South Africa duties: "But the year thereafter, I will definitely continue. Beauty does not last forever."
