Aug 20, 2009: Costumes
 

The Miss Universe Pageant has the usual evening gown parade and a swimsuit parade, but it also has the contestants parade in their "National Costume". How they came up with some of them, beats the hell out of me. :confused:

Here's a few...

And here's the rest.

Racing costume for US?
 

So we have NASCAR, but the rest of the world pretty much laughs at the US because of our absence from F1. Interesting that they would pick racing at all...sure bet she loved wearing that helmet with those dom-heels. OK, so call me a critical bastage...

The Great Britain costume does look somewhat like the traditional "Brittania" character much used by political cartoonists from the late Victorian era.

The Noice Irish Goil is at least in her national colours.

After some thought, I can only say the Aussie lass just looks like a galah. (This is also an Aussie idiom for a twit).

Attachment 24526

I would much rather they paraded out of their costumes
:ggw:

The Aussie lass looks like she modelled herself on a Peach Melba.

What's Canada supposed to be?

Oh yeah, NASCAR, that's what we're all about. Ugh...

Maybe she should have just dressed like Jeff Foxworthy.

I'm quite surprised she didn't turn up in a Stars and Stripes bikini with a Big Gun :P

:lol2:

And no health care.

:bolt:

Don't forget the bible!

I thought the race motif would be from Monaco.

Ireland must be on a pretty tight budget. Hmm lets see...I have a hat left over from St. Pats, a bikini, and, well, I'll just use the flag. Tah Dah. Costume! :right:

Other events in the competition include:

Crotch grinding
Pole Dancing
Breast Reveal
Best Pasties

And answering the question: "What do you say when a customer asks your real name?"

I still can't figure out wtf Canada is supposed to be. :confused:

Some of them remind me of skanks at Halloween: dress less to be the best.

Shawnee ftw :lol:

I can't wait to see what the Romulan contestant wore to the Miss Universe competition.

Looks like the other girls played a trick on Norway and Slovak Rep and didn't tell them what National Dress really means....

Mis Norway has a bit of a "Carrie" look about her -I'd be careful if I were them.... :eek:

That's National Dress. It's just the national dress of Mexico and Germany.:p

Bizarre, but I'm sure it's hard to come up with different "national dress" every year. If memory serves me right, we've had girls dress up as the statue of Liberty before.

This is what Miss Australia should be wearing

Oh no you di'int. :lol:

No I di'int. really. it was someone else pretending to be me. rly.

NASCAR was my first thought too, along with WTF. But then I got thinking about it and the hundred of thousands, if not millions, of Americans that are involved in racing. SCCA, NHRA, AHRA, Outlaws, local tracks and motorcycles. In that light it made more sense. But I agree on the helmet.;)

I'll take two Miss Canadas for the weekend, please Alex.:3eye:

Miss Ireland's penis is showing

So is Miss USAs. You know, if you read Middlesex there's a theory about really tall thin women with no hips having been born hermaphrodites...

:rolleyes:

Probably quite similar to the Japanese entry...

I'm sure there were many worthy comments in this thread, but I didn't have time to read them as I was busy worshipping Miss Ireland's public mound.

Too skinny!

However Miss Australia might get my attention.

I bet her private one is even better.
