4/17/07- La Senorita Mexico will not be wearing one of the dresses she planned to wear during the upcoming Miss Universe pageant. Que paso? Well, apparently the dress she planned to wear during the traditional country dress presentation proved to be muy controversial.
Mexicans have been complaining ever since she started presenting the dress at various regional events around Mexico.
What's wrong with the dress? Well it depicts on the skirt, the 3 year Cristero War in the 1920s. There are crucifixes, a firing squad, along with a depiction of a hanging. (How pleasant no?) And to add to the already pleasant dress (pun intended) there is a bullet gun belt to add to the costume.
(Insert clearing throat sound here.) Ahem, well. So rightly so, Mexicans around the country have been complaining about the dress and its depiction of Mexican history and life. So Ojeda will be modifying the dress, for the Miss Universe pageant.
Ojeda is from Guadalajara, where the Cristero war occured.
