Ok. I admit it. I did watch the Miss Universe pageant last night. Mostly because I wanted to see if Miss USA would actually wear the gown designed for her by Kayne and Robert, designers on this season’s ‘Project Runway’. And, she did. She kind of looked like a purplish/mauve-ish, sparkly mermaid. She finished 4th runner up in the pageant.
But, here is the new Miss Universe. Miss Puerto Rico to her friends. She definitely went medieval with this gown made entirely of metal chains. It was reportedly very heavy and, forty minutes after receiving her crown, she fainted during the post pageant news conference and had to be revived with liquids.

The USA woman is beautiful. I can’t believe she didn’t win.

Puerto Rico mui sexy. Too much, I think.
Was it the weight of the dress or malnutrition?

Miss Puerto Rico’s dress is a variation on the same theme as that one-legged bracelet pantsuit we saw Coco in a few weeks ago, huh? Oh, let’s pray it’s not some sort of trend.

Oooh, Ginafly, I never thought of that. A trend of metal chains? I will pray very hard indeed that this does not come to pass.
