3. They're all pretty bad--but Germany is awful and the United States...I mean

srsly, WTF?? Basically, a cardboard appliance box with a face hole cutout? Oops, my bad, upon further study, a cardboard box with transformer toys stuck to it. Yeeccchhh.

[graywarrior]

6. Germany's looks like a weapon

But I can't figure out what the hell that ring is for!

[TwilightGardener]

8. And it's dangling in a weird place.

[warrior1]

[cali]

[Rex]

[ChisolmTrailDem]

9. Please, please, PLEASE!

10. Really shows off her assets!

And what's up with Belgium?

[dawg]

11. I didn't realize that the devil came from Belgium.

Or, for that matter, that he was a source of national pride. That was new information for me.

On the other hand, the devil-suit certainly beats the crap out of the Tron-abomination our woman was wearing.

12. Encapsulates American pop culture... tacky and violent (guns missiles strapped to her back). n/t

[Tuesday Afternoon]

15. .

[rrneck]

22. I was going to reply to the OP

but there's no beating that.

[Rex]

14. Ummm...wtf is Ms. America dressed like an autobot?

Seriously, that is our culture now...after looking at all the other costumes...well really shouldn't OURS be an aircraft carrier or a tank? A militant cartoon character? I guess that is what we have become.

[cali]

16. say what?

seriously, your post is kind of, well, laughable. To extrapolate all that from a bad costume in some lousy pageant. lighten up.

[Rex]

17. If the rub was wrong, walk it off.

Like your post was anything nice? Seriously, I was spot on in my post. Maybe don't take things so seriously in the future? Jus saying.

[adirondacker]

19. Because a Drone is invisible to the naked eye.

[Katashi_itto]

20. I like the slutty Mountie...

[TeeYiYi]

21. Peru reminds me of Kuato from Total Recall.

TYY

[KoKo]

23. Curacao was my fave. But, loved the tribute to native symbols in most of them.

USA? A Transformer kid's toy? What were they thinking with that costume.

[Fumesucker]

34. Yeah, I thought the Aztec, Olmec, Toltec, Mayan symbology was nice too

Quite a few of the other costumes were good too.

I bet that Mountie always gets her man.

[Blue_Tires]

24. I'd still do them ALL, costumes on or off...

[tridim]

28. This is all Lady Gaga's fault. nt

[2naSalit]

29. I have mixed feelings about the USA getup...

I think that sums it up...

Just have to add

"...and your mom dresses you funny!"

[JaneyVee]

30. THANKS OBAMA!

[smokey nj]

31. Germany's looks like they got it from a high school

production of "Springtime for Hitler."

[B2G]

32. Didn't realize Nigeria was known for its coasters

[Rstrstx]

33. What was this, the Miss Carmen Miranda pageant?

Obviously Germany and the US didn't get the memo

[Whisp]

35. wow. Some of those costumes are absolutely fantastic!

cept US and Canada, those kinda really sucked. and Germany, if I recall.

But the central/south american ones were over the top awesome. Most all of them were a treat for the eyeballs.

I don't think I've ever been impressed with anything pageanty for a long time.

[loli phabay]

36. i love Belgium and great Britain very hot. the usa erm erm no idea

[JHB]

38. I've seen WAY better Optimus Prime cosplayers

Of course, those people are having fun with robot costumes, not in a get-up for Miss Universe.
