BEAUTY is on her side . . . Erin McNaught is sorting herself out for the final of the Miss Universe contest. Picture: Adam Head

ERIN McNaught's jeans won't make it to Los Angeles when she represents Australia in her quest to represent the universe.
As the newly crowned Miss Universe Australia, the 24-year-old Gold Coast model freely admits her life is "not my own life" any more.
Jeans, she has been told, are out. The small tattoo on her right ankle of the Roman numeral for two has to disappear.
"I have to cover it with make-up," she said.
And her day-to-day schedule until at least the end of July? That's in the hands of her public relations team.
As the shock of winning the Australian title on Friday wore off, the Gold Coast model has slowly come to terms with this global competition.
Three weeks ago, she was not even entered.
However, her agency sent a picture to Miss Universe representatives, who did not have time to visit Queensland.
They chose her and another Queenslander to fly to Melbourne for the final.
"Probably about 50 per cent of the girls who are in the final will have had work done," she said.
According to the competition website "any kind of unnecessary surgery" is not encouraged. But only a few countries including Sweden, France and Israel have banned cosmetic surgery.
McNaught, who went to Brisbane's Kenmore High School and has deferred her wildlife biology degree, said some contestants had prepared their whole lives for the final.
