The National Costumes From The Mister Global Pageant Were Fire... Mostly
By Karah Leigh, @karahontheradio
The Mister Global pageant happened recently in Thailand with the "inspiring gentleman" theme. The pageant first started in 2014, and this year 38 countries participated, including the US!
... this event is not merely a beauty contest, even though one of the main requirements of contestants is to be 'good looking' as the spokesperson of the pageant, Kitti Kamjunsa, told Bored Panda. "The aim of Mister Global is to promote environmental awareness, and we have been promoting this cause ever since we started in 2014. This year, we added a new motto "Inspiring Gentleman" because we believe that the contestants and titleholders should motivate and inspire people. During this year's pageant, we did a fundraising event to support an organization that takes care of elephants in Thailand and it was successful."
Check out some of the contestants in their national outfits -- sadly, the US costume was probably the worst, followed closely by Sweden. Both give some very WTF vibes.
