Manolo says, Ayyyyy! Once again it is time for the most fabulous of the beauty pagaents, the Miss Universe! Look, here is the Manolo’s favorite part, the competition of the native costumes.


The favorite of all the Comic Book Guys.


Inside she is as morose as the Ingmar Bergman.


Manolo sees London, Manolo sees France…

    Somehow I don’t think Miss Japan’s armor whould hold up in battle.

    You have to admit though, Miss France’s boots are pretty fantastic. Capezio Can Cans in custom colors? The Devil, you say!

    Ah, lovely to see such natural pride.
    And a strike to feminism. :)

    Miss Sweden’s costume reminds me of the old cocoa ads

    Good eye, Dave. Those boots are fantastic.

    The green boots… I would guess Russia? Somewhere in Eastern Europe.

    Does someone have a link to all the pics? I’m curious now.

    I just hope the green boots aren’t from Germany. That would be…unsettling.

    I’m also sorry to see that Miss France is suffering from endometriosis.

    Where is Kaynes dress? And as Michael Kors would say: you can see what Miss France had for lunch.

    Apparently her coach forgot to tell her, “be tasteful”. there are plenty of poses that could have led us all to appreciate her costume without a thorough examination of her gynological parts.

    I really want those green boots. Rawr!

    The green boots – they are the national costume of Switzerland!

    Funny. I always thought that the kimono was the national costume of Japan rather than a tacky kunoichi outfit. By the by, what was Miss American wearing? I remember that a few years back, the contestant was wearing a Wonder Woman costume.

    hey! there’s nothing wrong with the swedish native costume! at least we’ve got one, which is more than the US does… ;)

    Here is the US national costume:

    Apparently, we are a nation of jockeys.

    Kayne’s dress isn’t shown because those photos are from last year. The pageant is actually this Sunday, July 23 on NBC (check local listings).

    Oh goodness – this is NOT what we wear in Canada!
