AND THE WINNER IS . . . .

Alyssa Campanella admits she's a huge history geek and says in her Twitter bio that she was born in the wrong time period. I'm obsessed with the Stuart and Tudor era. .... Whenever I go to Barnes & Noble, I'm always in the history section and that is where you will find me, the newly crowned Miss USA explains. Campanella is also a fan of period dramas like The Tudors, Game of Thrones, and Camelot.Richard Harbaugh/Miss Universe L.P., LLLP - Monday, June, 20, 2011, 4:20 AM

Alyssa Campanella is actually a natural blonde. Six years ago while auditioning for a play, she dyed her hair reddish brown to fit the fiery character she was trying out for. It's really brought out the true Alyssa Campanella, I feel, and that's why I really enjoy being a redhead, explains the now auburn-haired Campanella.Richard Harbaugh/Miss Universe L.P., LLLP - Monday, June, 20, 2011, 4:20 AM

Alyssa Campanella, who's originally from Manalapan, New Jersey, is a former Miss Teen USA runner-up from 2007. She moved to Los Angeles, California after losing her Garden State apartment. The downs happen for a reason, she said. The path that I'm on now is the path that's been meant to be.Richard Harbaugh/Miss Universe L.P., LLLP - Monday, June, 20, 2011, 4:20 AM

“SWEET, SWEET JAMAICA”

Waterfall at 'The Ruins' in Ocho Rios by Striderv.  

Waterfall at “The Ruins” in Ocho Rios, Jamaica
~~
.

I GUESS I may be getting just a teeny-weeny bit old, because I can remember when it was considered
rude to whistle in front of adults, the biggest bad words pickney used to cuss were ‘blouse and skirt’,'rahtid’ and ‘blow-wow’; and slackness was talking big bwoy stories.
 ..
I am probably not so young anymore, I guess, because I can remember when people used to charter JOS bus to go to outing at Gunboat beach. And the beach dem was clean! And bad boys were the ones riding skate, and playing marbles and racing board horse in the gutter water after rain... I remember when children were afraid of Johnkunnu - now even police fraid a pickney, ’cause pickney a shotta!

 .. 

 Call me archaic, but I remember when school children never had such a wide range of colourfully creative
chemical concoctions and toxic adventures to choose from such as sweets and snacks. For example, I saw one
recently marked cheese tricks and when you read the fine print carefully, you realized that the ingredients did not include any cheese - so-so tricks!

..

 But I suppose it must be old age, because I also remember that children used to eat jackfruit, juneplum, naseberry, guinep, hogplum and tinkin toe; we used to relish treats like bustamante-backbone, drops, gizzada, toto, cut-cake and grater-cake. MEN USED TO DANCE WITH WOMEN after asking if they could have this dance!!

..

 I must be clearly approaching dinosaur status, because I can vividly recall a period when independence time meant street dance on every corner, and we never had to import carnival to have revelling in the streets, and float parades were magnificent. I must have come from them dark ages, but I remember when man used to go party to dance with woman, not to “par wid man”, and women never had to walk naked to get attention.

But I am not quite ready for the rocking chair and adult diapers just yet. No papa! Still, I remember when Rasta was a lifestyle. Now dreadlocks is a hairstyle. I remember
