MISS UNIVERSE 2013 (costume traditions)

Being that America is a very diverse country, that can bring about some difficulties for our country when we are trying to do things such as represent the culture of America within a beauty pageant. Every year at the Miss Universe pageant they have the PARADE OF NATIONAL COSTUMES. Each girl wheres a costumes that portrays the culture of her specific country. If I was in this pageant representing MISS USA I have no idea what my costume would be. Our culture is made up of too may other cultures that at sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming at times. This year Miss USA Erin Brady decided she would represent her country by dressing in some red white and blue transformers looking ensemble, that I myself am not a fan of.

I have no idea what that is suppose to be, but overall it is just hideous. On instagram Miss USA wrote that her costume is " Embracing powerful women in a transforming country, that's made up of so much" That's what MISS USA means to me."

Okay Erin nice try at trying to stand for feminism and be patriotic at the same time, but overall girl you FAILED in this area. The other women from the other countries DOMINATED in this area. The costume that was suppose to represent the USA does not scream America to me, it screams a pile a mess and over the top, check out the fabulous costumes of the other countries below.
