In beauty pageants, there is always that fear that one of the contestants would trip and fall from wearing long gowns and high heels.

For Miss Dominican Republic, Yaritza Reyes, it wasn't because she was wearing a gown that she tripped and fell instead she tripped and fell for other reasons. Ironically, this had to happen with Yaritza dressed up only in her swimwear. The Dominican Republic beauty was strutting her swimwear during the Yamamay Swimsuit Fashion show when she fell into a hole in the middle of the stage. Withstanding the pain, she stood up, chin up and walked the catwalk like falling into the hole was part of the show.

Falling in a hole during the Yamamay Swimsuit Fashion show wasn't the toughest of things Miss Dominican Republic has been through, she did come from a family that had tried to make ends meet every day and this was nothing for her.

In an interview made by missosology.org you will be able to get to know the Dominican Republic beauty. In the interview, you would see the side of Miss Dominican Republic and how down to earth and friendly she is. Like every other girl she has a crush on Hollywood celebrity Ryan Gosling, she loves to go out with friends and watch movies.

When asked about how she is preparing for the Miss Universe Pageant, Yaritza answered by saying:

"I am a person who is used to work hard and I don't think that I have experienced a difficulty on the way. Yes, I've experienced some changes, but I enjoyed them because I think I can learn from them."

Looks like this hardworking beauty has her mind set on winning the crown and she won't let falling down at the Yamamay Swimsuit Fashion show stop her at trying to achieve what she wants.

You can watch Miss Dominican Republic show her beauty at the Miss Universe 2013 to be held in Moscow, Russia at the Crocus hall on the 9th of November where 87 other delegates will battle for the title and the crown of Miss Universe.
