Miss Universe says: Gitmo is the Awesomest!

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Miss Universe and Miss USA have taken a firsthand look at the U.S. prison for terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay.

The beauty pageant winners took part in a VIP tour to entertain American military personnel at the prison in Cuba.

That’s Miss Universe, Dayana Mendoza:

And Miss USA, Crystle Stewart, here shown recovering beautifully from a fall she took during the Miss Universe pageant, evening gown event:

Here’s a slightly more dignified picture of her:

Being a girl of her generation, Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza blogged the experience, and…let’s just say her descriptions probably don’t comply with New York Times stylebook regulations:

This week, Guantanamo!!! It was an incredible experience.

We arrived in Gitmo on Friday and stared going around the town, everybody knew Crystle and I were coming so the first thing we did was attend a big lunch and then we visited one of the bars they have in the base. We talked about Gitmo and what is was like living there. The next days we had a wonderful time, this truly was a memorable trip! We hung out with the guys from the East Coast and they showed us the boat inside and out, how they work and what they do, we took a ride around the land and it was a loooot of fun!

We also met the Military dogs, and they did a very nice demonstration of their skills. All the guys from the Army were amazing with us.

We visited the Detainees camps and we saw the jails, where they shower, how the recreate themselves with movies, classes of art, books. It was very interesting.

We took a ride with the Marines around the land to see the division of Gitmo and Cuba while they were informed us with a little bit of history.

The water in Guantanamo Bay is soooo beautiful! It was unbelievable, we were able to enjoy it for at least an hour. We went to the glass beach, and realized the name of it comes from the little pieces of broken glass from hundred of years ago. It is pretty to see all the colors shining with the sun. That day we met a beautiful lady named Rebeca who does wonders with the glasses from the beach. She creates jewelry with it and of course I bought a necklace from her that will remind me off Guantanamo Bay :)

I didn’t want to leave, it was such a relaxing place, so calm and beautiful.

I know, she probably didn’t write that herself. Either that, or an editor had to take out all the “Marines are so hotttt!!!!” lines.

Natch, if she’d come back talking about how awful and brutal and inhumane the place was, she’d have been on the Times’ front page. Twice, minimum.
