Miss Universe, Live!...Another Unexpected Joy of Life in The Bahamas
August 10th, 2009
You never know who you’ll run into in The Bahamas.
In August, 2009, there seems to be a Miss Universe contestant wherever you turn, even on our scattered islands, another of the Unexpected Joys of the Life in The Bahamas.
I met the reigning Miss Universe several years ago at an Atlantis promotion for Moet Chandon Brut Imperial Rose. This year, the whole Miss Universe Pageant is here and beautiful girls are even more plentiful than usual. The queens of more than 80 countries are strutting their stuff. They’re in motorcades down famous Bay St., modeling Bahamian fashions, hosting dinners in aid of AIDs victims, rushing in our traditional Junkanoo dance, visiting our far flung islands, smiling, smiling, smiling…
Pictured in the image to the right are Bahamian Olympians Tim Munnings (left) and Troy Macintosh. Both were recently named World Champions for their performance in the 4x400 track and field relay as the US team was stripped of the Gold Medal. They met Miss Universe 2003 Amelia Vega, Dominican Republic, in Nassau at a local champagne promotion. And, she met them!

In The Bahamas, the celebrities are so close to you that you can tell the fakes from the real.
But, one of the reasons so many celebrities actually live here, is that Bahamians wouldn’t dream of bothering them…or even recognizing them! That’s an unexpected joy of life in the Bahamas for the rich and/or famous.
And, on August 23, the new Miss Universe will be crowned at Atlantis, Paradise Island, and our islands televised so the entire planet can see how much better it can be in The Bahamas. For details of schedules and tickets, check out www.missuniverse.com/members/home.
