I totally agree with you on this one. My roomate worked at Victoria's Secret when they were promoting their Dream Angels stuff, and Miss Universe's swimwear reminds me of last winter's Victoria's Secret promo.
Most beauty pageants in America do not allow two-piece swimsuits into the contest, it is one-piecers only for the most part. I think that is good and does show at least some modesty in the beauty pageant world.
