(okay my fellow JAMAICANS, i mean no harm in the title so please don’t form your hands into a gun and pretend shoot me).
when people think of the most popular place in the Caribbean, they usually think of JAMAICA first. thats cool. i mean some of the most profound icons have come out of JA, like BOB MARLEY (although he makes me think of my white friends who burn incense and smoke ganja) and THE WET T-SHIRT GIRL. you know the girl i’m talking about…
the ever so classic travel advertisement for JAMAICA of the curvy west-indian lady in a throbbing and soaking wet red t-shirt which reads JAMAICA…always stood out to me as looking like a TRINI. i mean, i know we can all somewhat look similar – but there was something in her eye that said to me “my roti isn’t empty, it has some dal in it”.
+++++
(i’m sure when this image was posted in travel agencies across the world, the fathers of every family who had to take their clan on vacation was SOLD on JAMAICA.)
+++++
just like i guessed it, i researched and found out she was in fact a TRINIDADIAN!
+++++
mhmmm. i know everyone and their mama has tried to re-inact this photo, but since i’m TRINI and i like JAMAICAN boys (well actually, BOYS period) i may be able to pull it off correctly.

umph! (thanks for the disclaimer after the title) well she's hot and so is jamaica, so it was only right. lol
shout out to all my west indians.. :-D
I'm trying not to be offended by that title so bad lol...anyhoo i did hear she was Trini a while back. i'll consider her an honorary Jamaican for this photo and for messing with a yard man lol.
& Trinidad did not make Jamaica Hot. They could have found a coolie woman from JA or any island for that matter and there is more things that made/make Jamaica hot than Bob Marley and this woman. Either way I love u trinis i got love for all west-indians but yea the title is definitely "humph" worthy
shes stunning, She defo looks trini!!!!
She's pretty. Go ahead and try to re-enact it Vashtie....LOL (joking)
I agree, when I hear Caribbean, I tend to think of Jamaica before I think of Trinidad. For real, when I plan cruises, its easier to get to Jamaica and Barbados and other islands than it is to get to Trinidad. And I would love to visit Trinidad. Just something that I noticed.
Looking at this picture, I thought she was either Guyanese or Trinidadian for sure. No way is she Jamaican. I don't care what anyone says, when I see a woman like that, I automatically assume they are Trini.The way they talk usually proves it. As for coolie Jamaicans, there are some, but the majority of Indians in the West Indies are in Guyana and Trinidad.I myself am American born, but my Father is Grenadian/Trinidadian, and my mother is Haitian/Irish. Weird Combo, but I've seen it all.
The only people who think about Jamaica before Trinidad are NON West Indians who buy into the hype and the dominant dancehall culture, or Jamaicans. I can GUARANTEE you that NOBODY from the Caribbean thinks about Jamaica at all. It's all because of Bob Marley they get that praise. This is not a diss, because I'm sure my MANY Jamaican friends don't care about anyone else either, but majority rules. Come to a Soca boat party and watch all the Jamaicans stand and watch.They barely even go to those things. But you will see every other flag feel right at home.
this is a very guy thing to say but sintra can be from anywhere she damn well pleases! lol...thanks for that background on her....
This post is FUNNY! :D
Growing up in Jamaica, I saw this poster everywhere and when I relocated to New York it was in every travel agencies office even if the color was fading from how old the poster was
I'm a jamaican, I also thought she was jamaican. Some years ago I found out she wasnt. To be honest, she is east indian. I collect vintage postcards, Jamaica & Trinidad, were top sellers in promoting travel via postcards to Europe... a long time ago. Many of the postcards are marked, "beautiful jamaican indian girl"... I guess thats was tourism marketing back in the day. Now it's called Caricom, lol. As you know, East indians were indentured workers sent fr India to the West Indies. I'm sure some of my family were droped off to other island other than Jamaica in fact I've see my family name in Trinidad. It's truly one love.
