Miss World Bahamas unveils wardrobe; appeals to public to support Hope for the Homeless Project
Nassau, Bahamas – In a matter of hours, Miss World Bahamas Geena Thompson will begin her trek half way around the world, as she leaves for China to compete in the 67th edition of the Miss World pageant! Geena will go up against beauties from over 120 countries as she represents the Bahamas in the world’s largest beauty competition.
The excited goodwill ambassador - who has been preparing for this moment ever since capturing the national title on July 30 – was treated to a sendoff event worthy of a queen by sponsor The Pointe which underwrote the cost of her preparations for the international pageant. A wardrobe unveiling event was held at the Summer Palace restaurant at which time Geena modeled key pieces of her amazing wardrobe which includes the creations of designers Mac Duggal, Fernando Wong, Cardell McClam, Judy Deleveaux, Indira Moss, Ria Georgina, Bahari and other prominent labels. The wardrobe also features pieces from Chevette Williamson jewelry, Coles of Nassau, The Collection, and a fabulous national costume by Enigma Bahamas Junkanoo Carnival Group which is inspired by the era of piracy in The Bahamas.
