Since my childhood, I have always associated Rio's (and Brazil's, in general) Carnival with incredible celebration, sultry abandon, heat, humidity, sparkles and feathers....those ladies sported their incredible, tanned and fit bodies (including their boobies, the rage!) well before anyone even thought of the skimpy costumes of Lady Gaga, Brittney or Pamela Anderson...and it was all good! There was an internal order to the universe...
The "west" caught on...slowly but it did.....
Now we have foisted upon us questionable attempts at photography with the apparent object being a celebrity's crotch while getting out of a car....why would I want to see that? but apparently, somone does....progress, I guess...we are catching up...Lady Gaga is wearing almost nothing at all and Heidi Montag just can't wait to show us those new DDs, clad in as little as possible!
BUT WAIT!!?
The pendulum is swinging - the other way - in Brazil!!!!
This adorable 7-year-old-girl, Julia Lira, was told (well, her parents were) that she could not be a Samba school queen because her bikini was too sultry - but how can it be??? she has no boobies and her body is not remotely sexual! She is a child!!
Many kids her age run around naked on the beach~Yes, she is dancing the suggestive samba but so is everyone else (this is Brazil!) and pretending to shield her from exposure to it is simply silly, in my view....
She won her court battle...
I say, let's enjoy this incredible, vibrant celebration while we can - who knows what comes next...
