Kingston, Jamaica: On Wednesday, May 18, 2011, Invyte Productions held the official Launch of the Miss Jamaica Universe Pageant. Held at the Wyndham Kingston Hotel the evening showcased the ladies in their entire splendor to a small but very receptive audience. Hosted by D’Andra Collinder of CVM TV, the evening began with a sizzling dance number featuring the contestants to the wildly popular “Paparazzi” by Lady GaGa. The audience cheered as their favourite girl graced the stage.
