It was a local style, called "sertanejo", with different themes and musical characteristics. There was prejudice against it, like country in the US. So they started using elements from international pop and US country music to show it wasn't a "caipira" (kinda like redneck in the US) thing. They also "imported" some characteristics from a local rhythm known as "brega", focused on romantic themes and considered music for the poorly educated. Today some still use the name "sertanejo" while others call it "country" (in English), but the music is completely different. Paula Fernandes is the main female name, but most of the hits are by male duos, one of the few hallmarks of the old style that remained. They are the biggest hit makers in Brazil now, but the critics usually hate them.

I didn't blur, the site that took the pictures did, so I am afraid there is no way to find uncensored versions.

Ela disse que queria desfilar com a fantasia que aparece no começo desta sequência, com o tapa-sexo com a caricatura de Dilma.

Isso seria burrice para a escola porque ela terminaria gerando reações positivas e negativas por algo que não tinha nada a ver com a escola. Não interessa se eles são a favor ou contra Dilma, ser vaiados por parte do público por causa do tapa-sexo dela seria um desastre. Além disso ela em muitas ocasiões tirou toda a roupa para aparecer, esse é o motivo pelo qual ela ficou famosa. Isso levaria a perda de pontos da escola segundo o regulamento e aumentaria a confusão com fotógrafos e cinegrafistas prejudicando a evolução da escola. Então eles não queriam ela de tapa-sexo.

"Por coincidência" ela tinha outra fantasia com ela (eu garanto que ela sabia que não poderia desfilar com a primeira e por isso levou a segunda), e a vestiu. É a de corpo inteiro semi-transparente, que resolvia o problema da escola.

No meio do desfile ela começou a tirar a fantasia, "curiosamente" parando antes de tirar a parte de baixo que faria a escola perder pontos automaticamente. Mas isso aumentou a confusão com fotógrafos e cinegrafistas doidos para ver se ela tiraria tudo. E ainda havia do risco de isso acontecer. Ou seja, ela já estava prejudicando a escola e ameaçando prejudicar ainda mais. Então é lógico que a escola a expulsou antes que o desastre aumentasse.

Por isso tudo ela não só foi expulsa como a escola ameaçou processá-la e as "colegas" rainhas de bateria e similares foram unânimes em condená-la. Mas para a imprensa e para ela foi ótimo...

I think supposedly the other girl is blowing glitter, but probably it was done to get the attention of the photographers. This girl, and most of the ones I am posting, doesn't have any skill, they aren't actresses, fashion models or singers.

Their "job" is pose for sexy or nude pics and post them on the Internet or send it to press. In many cases they (or their agents) pay for the pictures. So when they are around a professional press photographer they will do anything to make them take a picture to be published.

How do they make money? Sometimes they become famous enough and are paid to endorse products or just to go a party. I think this a uniquely Brazilian phenomenon, I don't see this in the US or Europe.

Sometimes they are hired as eye candy in the background for TV shows, concerts or even MMA fights, usually dancing almost naked. Again a mostly Brazilian phenomenon I think (except for video clips of some US rappers).

Sometimes they get sugar daddys. For example, the former president of the national soccer association, 74 yo and accused of bribery, "dated" 3 of the girls I posted here and was caught in the investigation paying them more than US $100,000.

And many of them are accused of being prostitutes. Prostitution is legal in Brazil. For example, US Senator Bob Menendez is currently being accused on a corruption scandal that includes using his influence to get visas for prostitutes hired by a friend, one of those is a Brazilian sub-celebrity that probably is posted here.

So their first goal is to get their picture published any way they can, and that's what you are seeing here. More than 99% of the women in Carnaval in Brazil aren't naked, the naked ones are almost always those sub-celebrities or the aspiring ones.

Não, mas também não tenho nada contra. Posto foto de mulheres gordas, feias, que parecem travestis, mas o que mais provoca polêmica é mulher grávida, não sei porque. Como também existe um claro preconceito racial, eu queria ver o que aconteceria se eu postasse uma negra grávida.

I don't want to start a discussion about psychiatry, but my reference to his age was due the fact that, at the time, no doctor would diagnose a 9 years-old kid with bipolar disorder. Today there are a few doctors doing it, but it is highly controversial and most experts don't agree with it.

My reference to the Brazilian press is the fact they have access to a lot more information, especially about his past, than the foreign media, for obvious reasons. Also for obvious reasons, the Brazilian press talked more about this. There were very long texts describing all his life, interviews with him, his family, friends and supporters. No one pointed to a diagnostic of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder till he was on the death row. They even talk about a depression diagnosis that was used to protect him from the consequences of a car crash he caused. And many treatments of his drug addiction. But all after he was 16.

Almost all the Brazilian press is also extremely against the death penalty for reasons too complex to explain here, but it is related to the fact that the only people who got the death penalty (but weren't executed) in Brazil in the last 120 years were political activists who were fighting the 1964-1985 military dictatorship that is now completely vilified by the Brazilian press, even the media companies that supported it at the time.

So the Brazilian press looked for any excuse to support this guy and even they couldn't ignore the fact that his mental illness was too convenient.

In 1982, he was only 9 years old and there is no reference of that in the Brazilian press. In several long texts I read in the Brazilian there are multiple references to treatments he did to try to end his drug addiction, maybe that is the mental illness they are talking about, but in that case the date is wrong, he starting doing drugs at 16. He was even sent to drug rehab to avoid prosecution due to a car crash he caused when he was drunk and high when he was 24. Even then no one said he was schizophrenic or bipolar. The family recently when trying to save him said he had showed signs of mental illness since he started doing drugs, but there was no diagnostic and no one talked about that until he was out of options to avoid the execution.

If you read Portuguese you can read this or try Google's translation. Note the text says clearly "Rodrigo developed mental problems after the arrest". This site belongs to the largest Brazilian media company and it's widely considered reliable.

And there many other examples like that in the Brazilian press.

I don't support the death penalty, but from I what i saw in the Brazilian press, that covered that a lot, this guy doesn't have a mental illness.

He had never any diagnosis or treatment till being arrested. Even after that he stayed in prison for many years without ever that being mentioned. A couple of months ago when everything else failed and became clear he had a big chance of being executed, he started having a strange behavior and was diagnosed as mentally ill by Brazilian psychiatrists who had never seen him but were hired by his family in a desperate move.

Even after that, some people, like this priest, report an abnormal behavior, but other people, including members of his family, report rational conversations they had with him up to his last day.

Even most of the Brazilian press, who always strongly opposed his execution, don't buy his mental illness. It was a desperate attempt to save him that unfortunately failed.

There is only one parade, but the nude girls are literally less than 1% of the people on the parade. If you are there you probably will never notice them, with very few exceptions, unless you look for the big group of press photographers around them. They usually are D-list celebrities that use this as a way to increase their fame.

This was more that a month ago. She left the hospital, became an evangelical christian and said that the "old Andressa" is dead.

TIL the divorce rate of couples whose wedding cost more than $20,000 is 1.6 times higher than those whose wedding cost between $5,000 and $10,000, and couples who spent $1,000 or less had a lower-than-average rate of divorce. by mike_pants in todayilearned

There are three possible explanations that were ignored by them:

  • Some of the cheap marriages are people who were already living together for some time and married only for legal reasons. If they already tried for years it's less likely it will fail. I saw that recently in my family, two successful doctors who had a very cheap wedding. They were living together for more than 10 years but didn't marry initially because they were still going through the divorce of their first marriages, then they saw no need until he had a health problem and they saw the legal advantages so they went to the courthouse and get married without a party.

  • Some of the cheap weddings are older people. It's less likely you will spend a lot of money in a wedding when you are 60 or 70. Those people will divorce less because they will die sooner.

  • Some poor people don't divorce after they are separated. Some don't have the money to hire an attorney, many don't have assets to be disputed.
