HOT TAKE....MELISA GUN

Happy to have you on Playboy South Africa! Any exciting projects lined up this year? Thank you for having me! Oh yes, I do have some projects lined up, but the one that is the dearest and most important to me is Ms World 2023. I have spent a long-time taking part in various pageants and beauty contests and winning the titles, and I have come up with the idea of organizing my own pageant, but it is going to be unlike anything that America has seen so far. It is my passion project and I love it with all my heart, and I am dedicating all my time to it right now. It will take place in Las Vegas in May this year and we will give a chance to the most beautiful and successful women to tell the world about themselves and their brands, to represent their countries and make them proud, and to show everyone that it is women – caring, tender, gorgeous, intelligent – who should be at the top of the world. So, our pageant will give them this chance, and I am so looking forward to getting to meet them all and let them shine in all their glory.

Best place you have ever been to in the world? It is never an easy choice, is it? I would say that it is Norway for me; it is the most magnificent place I have ever been to. I love the combination of tranquillity of its fjords with the buzz of its cities. I try to return there whenever I can, it helps me restore my energy and I think it is just one of the most stunning places, and it does not matter if you go to Oslo for its busy city life, history and culture, or escape somewhere in the countryside where you can just relax and immerse yourself into nature.
