"Miss Mexico altering dress after complaints"
"MEXICO CITY -- Miss Mexico is toning down her Miss Universe pageant dress -- not because it's too slinky or low cut, but because its bullet - studded belt and images of hangings from a 1920s uprising have outraged Mexicans.
"The floor - length dress is accented with rosses, scapulars and a sketch of a man facing a firing squad.
"It also depicts scenes from the 1926-1929 Cristero War, a bloody uprising by Catholic rebels against the secular government."

I thought pictures like that were for only history books.
It's interesting though how history and fashion have come together.
Good point!
And more an dmore, as certain elements try to surpress, as Mexico has for years, violent and bloody episodes in their fairly recent history, "guerrillas" are more than capable of "emerging" in most unlikely places!
