I want to know if the Dutch costume included wooded stilettos.
Miss Japan could sword-fight with me in the garden snow any day.
People in Tanzania seem really good at LARPing.
Miss Poland was my favorite in terms of looks and elegance.
Miss America was on theme, perhaps overly so.
Indeed Belgium was a disappointment.
The only true WTF costume I saw was Miss Korea. Seriously, is there something I’m missing?
I think Miss Switzerland would get cold dressed like that up in those mountains.
ahem
“With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there…”
You were probably confused by Miss Colombia’s beaver :eek:
I have a little Korean boy on my fridge dressed like that. I think its a traditional boys play outfit. (without the hat. The hat is…worthy of a royal wedding).
ETA: (magnet, the little Korean boy is a magnet. Given to me when we adopted our son from Korea).
I actually think Miss Venezuela – the green bat wings thing – is my favorite.
Miss Ireland – WTH? I would have guessed somewhere in Eastern Europe before Ireland.
Some of these outfits don’t really show off the girl much. Miss Georgia? She’s wearing a big nightgown – she’s in there somewhere! And Miss Finland is positively tasteful – get her off the stage!
Miss Russia is wearing a tablecloth.
I hope Miss Czech Republic smacked somebody around for sending her out in that… thing.
Spain? Germany? You’re not trying hard enough. Go back and do it again.
I love Miss Finland.
Who did Miss Malaysia have to blow to be included three times?
[nitpick] Actually Miss USA. Miss America’s a different person/pageant (from a different producer) [/nitpick]
I love it–it’s like they put Ru Paul and the Lady Bunny in charge of the pageant! Fierce, high-ass drag makes *everything *better.
Miss Venezuela is scary.
Miss Russia looks like a chandelier.
Miss Canada’s costume is kind of disappointing. I would have added more colours.
What do I not know about Ukranian culture that makes a miniskirt made of fabric apples their national costume?
Miss Belgium made me think of the theme costume portion of the pageant movie, Drop Dead Gorgeous, with the one awkward girl mumbling “umm, I guess I didn’t understand the assignment.”
Green bat wings? I thought she was dressed as a Sea Monkey…
Miss Guam wins the Ralph Wiggum Award.
Nah, I think that honor goes to Spain. At least the mermaid costume is flattering.
I’m digging on France, full-on Marie Antoinette!
What is Miss Czech Republic doing, is that a handle?
At least dirndls are getting sexier.
Loved Finland’s tribute to the Northern Lights.
Dirndls have always been sexy. 
I was compelled to see if the Longabergers of basket fame originally hailed from Czech region. I still lack a definitive answer as to the cultural relevance of Miss CR’s hideous costume.
What’s going on with Miss Hungary? She’s a mouseketeer or kitteteer or something?
The Nigeria woman looks exactly like one of my pictures of orixás.
The Puerto Rico costume looks like the mask swallowed the model…
Is Czech Republic a purse? Is that a ship as a hat for Miss Netherlands?
A few other European countries also look like Lolita at the Strip Club night, JRDelirious.
Sri Lanka’s sari seems to be concealing a tummy bigger than other contestants, or perhaps that’s an optical illusion. Is Egypt a reverse Cleopatra?
What is the Dominican Republic supposed to represent? Where’s MightyGirl?
Was she the one in the moose head?
I can’t page through them.
