Dieu, is it that time of year already?

[xp_bevatron]

It has been brought to my attention that it is once again time for everyone's favorite pastime. And by everyone I mean myself, and perhaps my cousin. I do not know if it is her favorite, but it is certainly always entertaining.

That pastime is drinking very large amounts of wine and mocking the national costumes portion of the Miss Universe pageant.

I believe someone consulted Garrison for Canada's entry. That is the only possible explanation.

I have the entire thing on video. If you wish to join my cousin and myself, you must contribute a bottle of wine to the proceedings.

I cannot decide if I want to shake my head at you because this is ill-timed or use this as an excuse to drink.

Can it be both?

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

Certainment. I thought the opportunity for a bit of levity was rather well-timed myself, though.

I'll be down shortly. But first I need to give Agent Lana a smack upside the head for the Canada outfit for you.

Merci. Really, it is the whole thing - not just the hockey sticks, not just the Stanley Cup headdress, but all of that AND a scoreboard.

At least they didn't give her antlers.

I think the worst part is the dress made to look like a net.

But really, when you see it in context with all the rest of the dresses, it's actually not that bad.

True. At least it is not the extreme cultural appropriation of Miss Australia, for example.

Sigh. I miss Eurovision.

We must sadly wait until May for my other favorite time of year.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Alas. There's not enough weird singing in this one.

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

No, but at least Miss Thailand and Miss Peru look equipped for the deathmatch portion of the contest?

Miss Sri Lanka looks like she'll be able to survive when the world goes Wall-E.

...perhaps those flower items on her costume shoot lasers.

That would certainly make for an interesting time.

Ahh, yes. I do believe I shall partake in your annual fashion shaming. Be right there.
