What costume would you choose?

The organisers of Miss Universe Jamaica have sought to explain that the Annie Palmer-inspired design worn by Iana Tickle Garcia at Sunday’s global final in Atlanta, Georgia was aimed at celebrating the Rose Hall Great House, a Jamaican heritage site.

Social-media users share what design inspiration they would have chosen.

■ Doctor Bird, Louise Bennett, Arawak Indians, Maroons. Heck! Jamaica itself!

– @rochelle_berryanikie

■ A Reggae Girls inspired costume, a Jamaican sprinter inspired costume ... Nanny of the Maroons inspired Ashanti tribe costume ... An Arawak Indian inspired costume ... A Lignum Vitae inspired costume ... Even a plain costume representing Jamaica’s national colours would be better ... But Annie Palmer!? Then y’all had the audacity to use Marcus Garvey to justify your ignorance!?

■ Should a mek a costume in memory of the slaves Annie Palmer murdered. – @thighsforaday

■ Wear bandana and play one of the dancing song dem. Elephant Man seh dancing a Jamaica middle name!! Or use one of the sprint queen costumes. After all, track and field placed Jamaica well on the global spheres.

■ Uno never celebrate the great house nor use it to tell a story of what slaves had been through ... uno use the opportunity to glorify the white slave master ‘n promote uno business place ... it was inappropriate. – @lotoya_tt
