National Costume controversyedit
In April 2007, controversy erupted over the proposed national costume of Rosa María Ojeda, Miss Mexico. The skirt of the costume depicted scenes from the Cristero War, a Roman Catholic rebellion in the 1920s in which thousands of people were killed, including hangings.[1] The outfit included a bullet-studded belt and crucifix necklace.[2] The design was chosen from over thirty others and had been intended to show Mexico's culture and history, but it elicited controversy amid claims it was in poor taste and inappropriate.[1] Pageant owners said that the costume would be redesigned to include image of the Virgin of Guadalupe.[1]
