Congrats Yendi, our Caribbean Queen of the Universe

It didnt seem as though many persons, on the international scene, predicted Jamaica’s Yendi Phillips as the second place holder, not even to be the champion of the Caribbean in the Miss Universe 2010 Pageant. In fact Caribbean-wise most eyes were fixed on Trinidad’s LaToya Woods.

Jamaicans following her career path, carved by her winning personality, knew better however. In 2007 she was crowned Miss Jamaica World. She has since been honing her skills and increasing her confidence level by becoming more interactive in public arena.
By 2008, she was appointed host of the Digicel-sponsored Rising Stars contest among other activities, most highlighting the arts, creativity, culture of Jamaica.
THEN:
Take note of the little difference in the personalities of winner Mexico’s Jimena Navarrete and Jamaica’s Yendi. To some the Mexican representative’s fuller face, and slightly more perfect teeth might have been what edged Yendi out, while others just yielded to the thought of the interview and overall mannerism.
Then again Spain did win the World Cup football.
Note must be taken in any event of Phillip’s natural winning smile that makes her stand out above all the other vying beauties. For the crown she wore a blue gown designed by Sherri Hill.
Miss World is a far more prestigious contest than the Donald TrumpED Miss Universe, but none makes us the more prouder. Yendi, like Sandra Foster (who placed sixth in Miss Universe 1989), is one culture ambassador who could have won either given the right year. Congratulations and ’nuff’ kudos to her for entering and claiming second place, especially as 2010 looked to be filled with doom for Jamaica as a nation.

Yendi-Philips smile pink — Pretty in pink, Yendi Phillips says she is living out her childhood dream, and dedicates her success to her mom who passed away.

Just in time to redeem negative stigma’s after bouts of challenges brought about by crime lords and too a disappointing moment by newly-appointed Ambassador Usain Bolt.
Billy Ocean’s Caribbean Queen seems a good fit, as with Yendi at second place the Caribbean, it’s culture and it’s people have a new beat for the world.
