The costume competition of the 2010 Miss Universe pageant is awesome for multiple reasons, the biggest of which is that this year it’s less “costume” and more, I don’t know, “drag queen cosplay festival.” I am okay with this, and I’m especially okay with the outfit of the 2010 Miss Japan competitor, Maiko Itai. Not to play up my gay card too much, but it’s hella fierce, and unlike the 2009 costume, she doesn’t look like she’s trying out for The Pussycat Dolls, if you know what I’m saying.
Seriously, can I just say that there should be a Final Fantasy X-3: Miss Universe National Costumes edition? I would totally be down to control a party with Miss Japan as a Dark Mage. Throw in Miss Great Britain as the tank role and Miss Canada as the healer, tackle some evil bosses (Miss Kazakhstan, Miss Angola) while we’re guided by some mystical faith (Miss EVERYONE ELSE WHO I DIDN’T JUST NAME, except for maybe Miss India, who has a very nice dress but it’s kinda plain.)
Game prototypers, do it. DO IT NOW. (And give me credit for it.)
