Miss Universe 2010: Mommy, I want to go as Miss Kazakhstan for Halloween
Now that all of last week's fuss about the body-painting, tops-optional Miss Universe swimsuit photo shoot has died down, it's time to check out the really important stuff. Namely, the contestants' national costumes.Miss USA Rima Fakih is channeling the not-so-bald eagle, but while she has an arrow, there's no bow to shoot it with. So by default Miss Italy Jessica Cecchini and Miss Swizerland Linda Faeh -- who both yield swords -- are much more hardcore. Can you imagine if the kids on "Toddlers & Tiaras" did the same?
And when it comes to birds, Miss Albania Angela Martini has way more rock-n-roll glitz/Las Vegas glamour going on.
While we like that Miss Croatia Lana Obad looks like a glass bead
peddler, Miss Kazakhstan Asselina Kuchukova is the one we keep going
back to. Come on, she has a peacock on her head. What would Borat say?
Check out pictures of all 82 countries costumes. The 2010 Miss Universe Pageant airs Monday, Aug. 23 on NBC at 9 p.m. ET. Follow Zap2it on Twitter and Zap2it on Facebook for the latest movies, TV and celeb news.
