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.

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).

I would much rather they paraded out of their costumes

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

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!

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

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

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....
