When Aniporn Chalermburanawong parades down the catwalk at the Miss Universe pageant in December, she'll wear "Tuk Tuk Thailand"--a dress made to resemble a rickshaw painted in the colors of the Thai flag. This was the winning design in a national contest featuring 356 submissions. The AP describes the dress:
The outfit features an electric blue bustier and mini-skirt with thigh-high black tights — and a central headlight with handlebars just below the bosom. Attached to the costume is a backdrop of a tuk-tuk in Thailand's national colors — red, white and blue — with six national flags, a dozen more headlights and an overhead banner that says: "Thailand."
