"ANNA PACKS 'EM IN"

Just-filled grave turns into No. 1
tourist attraction in the Bahamas


New York Daily New by ADAM NICHOLS...3/4/07



"Less than 24 hours after she was buried, the ex-Playboy model's grave has become the No. 1 spot for Bahamas tourism - pushing a ritzy aquarium-themed resort into second place for the first time in years.

"We got off the cruise ship, got into a taxi and said, 'Take us to Anna's grave,'" said Vicki Gwaltney, 51, from Florida, who saw Smith's final resting spot with her friend and 92-year-old mom.

"For me, this trip was all about Anna. I booked it two weeks ago just because this was going on. Anna Nicole's what brought me here."

Anna Ruiz, 44, a dietician from Atlanta, bought a $422 round trip just to view the plot.

'I always admired her,' she said. 'We have the same first name, so I always felt a connection. And she was so fabulous."

Simply disgraceful!

I'm laughing at "packs them in", throngs, masses....we're talking about a couple of hundred people......with money.

Howard made a mistake. There would have been THOUSANDS if she was buried in the USA.

Oh, for the love of God. This stupidity has got to stop right now.

Miss Ruiz, this may hurt, but it's for your own good. The deceased was born Vicki Lynn, not Anna.
