Entry open to Miss Jamaica Universe 2009
Entry is now open to the Miss Jamaica Universe Beauty Pageant 2009. Young Jamaican women between 18 and 26 years of age are invited to apply if they have beauty of face and body, a keen awareness of the world around them and the grace and confidence to represent Jamaica at the Miss Universe Pageant. Contestants should never have been married, or had children.
For this, the first competition since last year's groundbreaking event, which saw April Jackson emerge the winner from 25 finalists, all the stops are being pulled to ensure that the high standard of 2008 is maintained or even surpassed. Last year's coronation show attracted more than 5,000 patrons at a sold out event, which saw new age R&B superstar Keyshia Cole perform in Jamaica for the first time ever.
Jackson won over $1 million in cash as well as a brand new BMW motor car. Clearly the 2008 event realised its target of a world-class production, thus ensuring that the local event mirrored the international pageant's pre-eminence in the world of beauty contests.
This year's planned prize package is likely to be similar to last year's, even if not exactly the same as the event's organisers seek to attract Jamaica's best talent. A show-stopping entertainment package is also in the works and more details in this regard will be announced in the coming weeks.
Now in its 57th year, the Miss Universe competition provides the opportunities for women to be personally enriched through the organisation's year-round support of all aspects of their lives, from their own personal career goals to social and humanitarian causes and work. Interested applicants to the Miss Jamaica Universe pageant 2009 should enter online at www.missjamaica universe2009.com.

Are you ready for bacchanal?
Carnival Tips
Never wear new shoes on carnival day. Make sure your shoes are completely worn before the road march to eliminate blisters or discomfort.

Michelle Obama's Vogue Cover
It's official: Following much speculation, First Lady Michelle Obama will grace the cover of Vogue's March issue. The magazine hits newsstands on February 24th.
Obama was interviewed by Vogue Editor-at-Large André Leon Talley and photographed by Annie Leibovitz.
First Lady Michelle Obama is to feature on the cover of the March edition of US Vogue wearing a sleeveless magenta dress as she reclines on a sofa.
The glossy's website, vogue.com, previews the appearance by Obama, only the second First Lady to make the cover after Hillary Clinton.
All other first ladies - except for Harry Truman's wife Bess - have been featured in the US edition of the fashion magazine, although not on the cover.
Obama was photographed by Annie Leibovitz in a Jason Wu dress for the issue. She picked the same young Tawian-born designer for her inauguration ball gown on January 20.
In an interview with CNN television, Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley said the magazine had sought to portray the "real Michelle Obama."
"It's a cover about her warmth, which comes from within, it's not about her being a fashion icon," he said. "We're not trying to put her on a pedestal and make her into a fashionista.
