Oh mon dieu.

I have taken over Marie-Ange and Amanda's apartment. With alcohol. Because somewhere on the internet, I found the 'national costume' portion of the Miss Universe pageant.

Adrienne, you should come over. Quickly.

As a sample...

But that is what the alcohol and copious amounts of sarcasm are for! To combat the ridiculousness of the dresses. :)

You are only half Mexican and the other half is American so you can only disown half of her, and I think it is the top half?

[identity profile] x-skin.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
She's got a Dia de los Muertos skull. In her hand, so that's part of the top half, right?

[identity profile] x-tarot.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, when you cut someone in half you usually cut at the waist because there are no ribs or large bones besides the spin to try to cut through and that is probably not how you wanted me to answer that question is it?

I have no idea why all those women are wearing all that stuff. It's a beauty pageant, right? Most of those outfits are not beautiful - though I do like the one with the pickax. She could come in handy if you ever need to dig a hole.

[identity profile] x-bevatron.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. It is the Miss Universe pageant. Which, by the way, is terribly planet-centric of us. Much the way the United States' "World Series" ignores the rest of the world that plays baseball.

I suspect that over the years, the 'national costume' outfits have become more and more overdone, and each year someone attempts to outdo the year before, until what you are left with is this sartorial affront to human dignity.
