Thanks for posting this Cin. These are so much fun and crazy to look at late at night over the phone with a friend. My best friend and I had a great time last night analyzing them. She had some great insights into what some symbolized.
I want to know why Hungary is a purple bat.....in a Hussars jacket Does Belgium have chocolate wrappers stuck to her dress? Is that a guy sitting (maybe fishing) on Miss British Virgin Islands headdress? I love China's gown and Colombia's is fun. What the heck has Czeck Republic have over her shoulder--basket handles? Miss Equador looks like a bird dropping guano from her arms..... Germany---totally cosplay Anyone have insight into Miss Great Britain's symbolism? Japan was fun--anime fighter Why is Tanzania all spiky, great for a video game villain. Mexico overwhelmed by too many accessories Miss Romania is ready for Vlad.... Miss South Africa pulled on a pink and black tutu over her dress at the last minute. Spain--a green stuffed cannolli I love Thailand Miss Turks & Caicos is a bad craft project Venezuela is aquaman's queen?
