Miss Universe 2015 national costumes

I wonder how much she charges for a ride? :slight_smile:

I can think of at least two good reasons.

FUCK YEAH!
I kinda like the one with the fern on her head.

Sorry, but I don’t think it’s pie.

Not that it matters. At the risk of sounding like a dirty old man (which I would be if I had the energy), I’d accept prit’ near anything she offered me.

Miss France’s dress is the only one that looks like an actual dress (South Africa’s is close). In the medium shot, it even looks fairly conventional - only in the long shot is the motif clear.

I think for the costumes, I prefer South Africa, but for the ladies wearing them, Israel.

And yeah, naked never goes out of style.

And apparently Steve Harvey, the host of the Miss Universe show this year, messed up and announced the wrong woman as the winner!

Awkwardness ensues:

You forgot the spleens of her mortal enemies impaled on a pike.

Tom and Lorenzo dissect the costumes, as usual.

Part 4

Aniporn? I’m not sure if that’s a name or a genre.

And how embarrassing is it to the UK, that their contestant is named “France”?

I couldn’t for the life of me figure out who was supposed to be the “half old man” Miss Spain bears, the family’s guesses didn’t hold; we finally had to Google it.

Don Quijote. Aaaaaaaah… I don’t know man, at least lass year’s Isabel I was pretty, this one involves serious doses of illegal drugs and its motif isn’t even easily recognizable.

I don’t know the creteria for Miss Universe, but in some competitions, that is what is being judged: your abillty to walk (and go up and down steps and ramps and around corners) and hold your head while in a strange costume. It’s almost a kind of dance skill, and the costume is supposed to make it more difficult, so that you can demonstrate that you can handle even that.

Nava, eventually they’ll show up in some sort of Dali/Gaudi pastiche homage and people will run from the hall.

Can someone look up if the our entry was paid for by a floor/bath tile warehouse? That at least would explain the dress (or whatever; everyone here is always hatehatehatehating on MUPR management, it’s fair-weather fans all the way).

Thst Australia showed up representing Dame Edna’s spectacles shows they know exactly how seriously to take this.

Tom & Lorenzo’s blurb to go with Miss Croatia’s mortified expression: “You must realize: Homosexual men insisted I wear this.”

I think Denmark’s was the most pragmatic. Clearly they just picked it up used from the Victoria Secret’s show.

I thought she was supposed to represent Dali, like from this painting.
