Miss Universe

She became the clear favorite of the judges, winning the interview and swimsuit preliminaries and all three segments of the semi-finals. During the 1990 Miss Universe competition, she listed herself as "The beauty queen from Hell" as a publicity stunt (because she was born in the village of Hell, located in Stjørdal, Norway; apart from that, 'hell' also means 'luck' in Norwegian).[2] Her runners-up were Carole Gist, United States and Lizeth Mahecha, (Colombia).

During her reign, she appeared in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation as "Ensign Graham" in the episode "Identity Crisis". Grudt was also the last Miss Universe to accompany Bob Hope on his USO tour.

Mona was the last Miss Universe from Europe to successfully complete her reign until Iris Mittenaere from France was crowned Miss Universe 2016 (Oxana Fedorova of Russia, who was originally crowned Miss Universe 2002, was dethroned).

Life after Miss Universe

Today, Grudt is the editor of the Norwegian wedding magazine Ditt Bryllup (en. Your Wedding).[1]

Also, Mona Grudt came in 2nd place in the Norwegian version of Dancing with the Stars, in Norway called Skal vi danse (Shall we dance).[1]

Grudt returned to the Miss Universe pageant in 1994 when she sat as a member of the board of judges. In 2010 she became the host of the seventh Cycle of Norway's Next Top Model which aired in 2011.[3]

gollark: I host my site off a dynamic IP using the magic of dynamic DNS™. The main downsides of that are that there's some downtime when my IP updates, that my dynamic DNS provider is probably less reliable than a non-dynamic one, I can't really do things which require a static IP rather than just a static-ish domain, and I need to have a script run to update DNS which takes some nonzero amount of effort to install.
gollark: I don't think most VPNs will let your stuff listen on external ports. Also, they won't assign you a fixed IP *either*.
gollark: Also <@361606054154469376>, you might have a dynamic IP (probably do if it's a home internet connection), so you'll either need dynamic DNS or will have to give people the new one a lot.
gollark: The worst people can do with your IP is get your approximate location. Which is somewhat bad, but I'm sure people can decide for themselves whether they care much.
gollark: I would understand it if it was for security, and they actually had you provide a password/key, but generally they just do it to be annoying and stop users exporting data.
