The countdown for Miss World 2013 is nearing its D Day. Only one more day left before we find out who will be crowned as Miss World 2013 in Indonesia. You will be surprised to know that there will be no swimsuit round this year as the entire action is unfolding in a Muslim dominating country where the organizers of the contest do not want to hurt any sentiments. Instead, the Miss World 2013 contestants will don sarongs and other garments to avoid revealing the body shape. Let's look at the chances of Miss World Australia 2013, Erin Holland, Australia's representative at the pageant, to win the title of Miss World 2013.

Holland is a highly skilled singer and saxophonist too. Aside from being skilled in the music department, Erin is gifted with a wonderful beach body which she certainly loves to boast in her bikinis. Erin's Instagram page has numerous shots of her in her favourite bikinis on various beaches. In fact, Erin loves her bikini body that much that she had works hard to achieve such shape. Aside from the bikini posts, Erin's Instagram account is filled with photos in the the gym during her intense work out sessions.

The 24-year-old multi-talented beauty has a height of 5'10" and measures 31- 24 - 32. She carries the two piece bikini with equal poise and grace as she does the single one piece. However the gorgeous Miss Australia says that she was an "ugly duckling" in her teenage years.

"I used to be an ugly duckling so I don't know what happened! I was the band geek at school who boys weren't interested in," said Holland in an interview with the Daily Telegraph after winning the crown in Australia.

"I never identified with being a model or a beauty queen. Appearance wasn't a great priority growing up. Sitting in front of a mirror wasn't how I lived my life," added Holland.

Holland, who is a classically trained soprano singer holding a Bachelor of Classical Voice degree from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, currently enjoys a strong rating of 9.7 at the Miss World 2013 special coverage site.

Erin Holland beat 32 hopefuls in the finals in Melbourne to win the coveted title of Miss Australia but she never envisioned herself as a model. Holland was the judges' favourite at the Talent Round and has been chosen as one of the 12 coveted finalists for the round which will take place on Saturday.

Other finalists include British Virgin Islands, Indonesia, Ukraine, Wales, Trinidad and Tobago, Slovakia, Cameroon, Canada, Hong Kong China, Dominica and Panama.

Holland is expected to showcase her singing skills along with Miss British Virgin Islands, Miss Indonesia, Miss Ukraine and Miss Wales at the finale. She is also the finalist in Beauty With the Purpose round.
