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...

I am sorry does she have starfishes sewn into her dress?

Oh, continue scrolling, cousin. It gets worse. So very much worse.

I thought Miss Albania was very pretty? ;)

Yes, you may gloat as much as you like, petite rouge. Your country is one of the only ones that went for "tasteful" and not "I am some manner of strange woman/bird hybrid creature".

I am blaming Manuel for this. I am calling him right now to tell him to make it go away. I am serious!

Amanda! Come see your country's entry! I can hear you on your mobile!

There is seriously not enough booze in the world for this.

Why does our national costume look like a spilt attacked a swimsuit?

I brought as much alcohol as the store was allowed to sell me...

Perhaps Adrienne can bring more?

And by split I meant doily. Fuck you autocorrect.

More booze. I dint care how. I'll be on the fire escape poisoning my lungs.

Is she ... wearing a hat that is a boat?

What, has my cousin gotten you to not smoke in your own apartment? Feh. I may join you for one in a bit, if you do not mind the company?

[identity profile] x-bevatron.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
...and carrying what would appear to be le sacre coeur on a pillow?

[identity profile] x-tarot.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
That does not trump a hatboat.

Why is everything my fault?

[identity profile] x-bevatron.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
And yet it appears quite tame as headwear goes.

Witness, for example, Miss Nigeria: http://i55.tinypic.com/2eqggh0.jpg

Because it amuses me to blame you for everything?

[identity profile] x-tarot.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Are we certain she is not wearing it back to front? Because if it were turned around it would only be 90% as awful as it is now.

[personal profile] xp_daytripper 2011-09-10 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
My choice, not hers. This is her home too, and it's just as easy for me to smoke outside.

Join me if you like; I may disappear when I'm done. Literally.

[identity profile] x-bevatron.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, I simply enjoy needling my cousin, to be honest.

I apologize if my coming over made you uncomfortable. It is your home, after all.

[identity profile] x-bevatron.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
I am not sure.

But I believe Miss Peru came equipped for the 'ritual beheading' portion of the competition...

Don't be a dope, 's fine. I just have a limit to how many ruffles I can handle. Have fun family bonding time. ;)

Miss Mexico has the severed and skinned head as part of her outfit

[identity profile] x-bevatron.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
But that is what the alcohol and copious amounts of sarcasm are for! To combat the ridiculousness of the dresses. :)

Either way, have a pleasant evening.
xp_daytripper: (hey look)

[personal profile] xp_daytripper 2011-09-10 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
That's her talent portion. ;)

[identity profile] x-bevatron.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Clearly she began early.

I believe Miss Trinidad and Tobago wins the award for "most costume that is not actually on one's skin".
