Dear Editor,
Amanda Appleyard was 2nd Runner Up in the 2009 Miss Bahamas Universe Pageant.
After
the resignation of Miss Earth Bahamas 2009 Ife Bethel-Sears - A
non-finalist Krystal Brown became Miss Bahamas Earth after all the
finalist refused. Amanda continued as Miss Bahamas International. I
guess the organization felt with her coloring Miss International would
be more welcoming to a light skinned Miss Bahamas?
After no financial support Amanda officially
resigned, but the organization was able, at "short notice" to replace
Amanda with another non-finalist.
I guess
these franchises are not respected in The Bahamas as in other countries only national winners or runners up are excepted.
What was the purpose of hosting a pageant, if the
end result is two (2) non-finalists holding the
national titles?
It is a big JOKE!

Ps. Below is Miss Appleyard's resignation letter
