How dumb, its just an ugly costume, I'd much prefer to see her without it, or anything else on.

"Cultural copyright infringement" . . what a hoot! Memorable phrase.
I thought they had more important things to worry about down there, like deforestation and civil wars.

So Peruvian lawmakers are performing the devil's dance in front of Peru's Congress, as opposed to the devil's deal that so many lawmakers all over the world have made.

Its our devil! NO its OUR DEVIL!!!!

i bet she's done it before - i bet .

This ranks high in the news of the day! Yeah, right!

THIS STORY JUST BARELY EDGED OUT THE STORY ON THE NATIONAL LLAMA RACING CHAMPIONSHIPS.

As one who has spent many years studying and collecting and re-creating authentic folk costumes, I believe that any Las Vegas type of costume under the guise of "national costume" is a travesty. It is a shame that the Miss Universe Pageant allows these abominable creations in their production.

whothe****
cares?
she won her country's contest, so let her wear what she wants

Oh, poor Carrie Prejean. She could have come dressed as Eva Braun or Sarah Palin.

Who gives a rip about a head dress anyway? The
contestant's marks are by far her preformance, body
and looks. The suits should be more concerned with
hunger, illness and over all condition of the needs of
people that are suffering. I think there is to many of
these contests. The skinny minnie's are beautiful and
they know it. Why not have something like that for the
fuller figure woman. We want to look good too....Good
Luck with you choice,,,

Well I have friends & family that are Bolivian and Peruvians & they all agree that this traditional costume is 100% belongs to Bolivia!! What is Peru thinking?!?

KAREN SCHWARZ FROM PERU?????NAH SOUNDS MORE LIKE SHES FROM LAWNG OILAND!YOU CAN SEE THAT HEADRESS IN ANY HAIR AND NAIL SALON(LOL).

Wouldn't it be great if these were the only type of conflicts nations had to deal with?

It is a truly a Bolivian devil dance!
