A FEW DAYS AGO THERE WAS THIS HUGE CONTROVERSY CONCERNING MISS NICARAGUA'S NATIONAL COSTUME. MANY NICARAGUANS WERE SAYING THAT THE DRESSED WASN'T A FANTASY DRESS, THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY A: DEVILISH COSTUME, REPRESENTATION OF EVIL RELIGIONS AND THAT THE DESIGNER WAS DEVILISH AND MANY OTHER SIMILAR SPECULATIONS WERE MADE.

TITLE: TRAJE DEL DIABLO ANDROGINO
THIS DRESS IS IN BASED ON NICARAGUAN FOLKLORE AND HISTORY. THE DEVIL REPRESENTS THE SPANIARDS THAT COLONIZED NICARAGUA WITH ALL SORTS OF ABUSE AND THROUGH A NICARAGUAN DANCE THEY MAKE FUN OF SPANIARDS AS THE ONLY MEANS THEY HAD BACK IN THOSE DAYS OF GETTING EVEN. IN OTHER WORDS THIS DEVIL REPRESENTATION IS TO MOCK (LAUGH-TEASE) SPANIARDS NOT TO WORSHIP A RELIGIOUS ENTITY.

I KNOW THAT SIMILAR FOLKLORE DEVIL REPRESENTATIONS EXIST IN BOLIVIA, ECUADOR, PERU AND PANAMA.

THIS DRESS WAS ELIMINATED AFTER IT WON BEST NATIONAL COSTUME COMPETITION BUT I THINK THAT THE RECENTLY CHOSEN NATIONAL COSTUME LOOKS MUCH BETTER AND ON TOP OF EVERYTHING NICARAGUANS SEEM TO LOVE IT.
