The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 20 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
Here is what I posted on the cricket message board, where someone started a thread
There was more on Entertainment Report tonight. They interviewed a newspaper journalist who wrote the story, Lisa Hanna former Miss World and Carlene the Dancehall Queen.
Lisa Hanna say when she won miss world, that was one of the first things the organizers sat her down and talked about. It was also in her contract that she could not get pregnant.
The funniest of them all was Carlene the former/first/ original Dancehall queen who was never too shy to wear skimpy clothes and put her puunaaaany on show.
She seh dat how...
1. The woman not married (Miss Carlene have a baby for Beenie Man...dem nuh married)
2. Is just one year, why she couldnt wait. Is not like seh har body clock ticking.
3. She hear seh is fi a new boyfriend
4. She shoulda get punished. It wasnt enough for her to just give up the crown, there should have been a consequence.
Now I know y'all not concerned with the fact she have to give up di crown.
Oounu want to know if...
1. Like Dukes say "The man tell har he guh jes ress de head pon de outside."
2. The condom broke
3. The pill didnt work
4. There was no pill nor no condom
The fact of the matter is....if you have sex, you can get pregnant, whether you using birth control or not.
and further, is not none of oonu biznis. the girl do what she have to do ie give up di crown. Let her deal with the internal wranglings she might be having at supposedly failing the public.
I think people are disaapointed because I understand she was a very nice girl, very bright and outgoing and bubbly. Much like Terri karelle who went before her. So people thinking dem accidental tings (any of oonu who tink that was planned, think again) dont happen to nice upstanding ppl like Miss Lawrence.
I hope she is strong mentally to deal with all who going to open dem mouth. I wish her well. Dat is going to be one raas good looking pickney.
Posted by yamfoot at March 17, 2007 12:12 AMvery Indiscreet in my books...these christian girls dont seem to understand the facts of life!!...this is a first! I wish her & the baby well, and hope she at least know who the baby daddy is!!
Posted by: Peaches at March 17, 2007 10:33 AMCho, these things happen. All like Carlene, she she is nothing but a fool! Peaches, what do you mean, indiscreet? Is there a discreet way for her to keep the baby and go on with the work she is doing as Miss Jamaica? I don't think so...
Posted by: Mad Bull at March 18, 2007 06:53 PMHere's the thing; rules are rules are rules. If you break them then you must be willing to take on the consequences.
That being said, the more pertinent question for me concerns the relevancy of some of the those rules in 2007.
BART, what do you mean about 'relevancy' of these rules? Do you want to see pregnant women enter beauty contests? Theres a valid reason why mothers and pregnant women arent allowed into these contests, conflict of interests and priorities and responsibilities!! As Tonoya Toyloy said, these rules are very much relevant, they are no different from what any caring mother would want for her young daughter! Having said all that, what Spartan shouldve done, was to discreetly send Sara Lawrence out of the spotlight, and focus on a new queen, a replacement in the 1st runner up, who was by far, more popular choice to win Miss Jamaica World, despite being caucausion in features. Had they done that, the focus would be on a new queen, and no one woulve been bickering about Sara Lawrence and her indiscretion!
