My thoughts on…Miss Universe 2006
I’ll be upfront with you guys. I never actually saw the pageant. In fact, I’m still kicking myself about that. Normally it wouldn’t miss me, but with all that’s been going on in my life, especially work, I hardly have time to keep up with what’s going on TV. Usually Jamaican TVs would be fixed on the event. I wonder why this year was different? Did our beauty queen drop out early or something? Anyway, thanks to good ol’ media, I’m still in the loop. Puerto Rico’s Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza was crowned Miss Universe on Sunday at the Shrine Auditorium near downtown L.A. She collapsed soon after. Don’t worry, anorexia wasn’t the culprit this time. You’d faint too if you won that illustrious title. And the dress made of metal chains and hot lights may have had something to do with it too.
As usual, the Trump Organization was in charge of the event. I wonder how he does it. Being close to so many beauties would make even the strongest man consider adultery. I can see why she won. She’s a vision of beauty. Just look at her.
Oh my. No wonder she won. She wants to be an actress, and if this doesn’t get her noticed, nothing will. And guess what? She’s 18! Finally, a beauty queen within my reach! Perhaps my fantasy of getting with a Miss Universe winner isn’t so delusional after all. Congrats Miss Mendoza! Make sure to visit Jamaica on your goodwill tour. I’ll be waiting.
