Native costumes… the Miss-fits
Hopefully, the costume malfuctions at last year’s Miss Universe pagent in Mexico City (where Miss Mexico wore a dress adorned with paintings of hanged Cristeros, and Miss U.S.A. offended everyone when she dressed up as Elvis… and otherwise annoyed the public).
I think Miss Mexico’s costume is sort of Hollywood Aztec, but where in the U.S. did Miss U.S.A. get the inspiration for her native costume? I guess old Playboy Magazines are part of the folk culture.
