Caribbean Ms Universe 08 Beauties... All in a row

I am going to toot our own damn horn to say that our Caribbean women are some of the most gorgeous the world over! Just look at this year's regional representatives for the Miss Universe 2008 competition, set for July 14th in Thailand.

As a Trini, I must put it out there: our delegate Anya Ayoung-Chee is definitely shining brightly! Initially, I just thought it was quaint and nice that we had finally chosen a Trinidadian of Asian/Mixed parentage to represent our nation, but she's really a stunner.

As for the other islands - I can't choose a favourite - they're all fantastic. Not being fully immersed in the mix on each of these delegates' islands, I'll refrain from giving my opinion on their selection, etc. So you take a look and let me know if any of our gorgeous gals can take the crown.
