Brazilian Geisy Arruda was expelled from university because she either wore a form-fitting dress or too short a skirt, and also the whole affair made the student body want to holler. In Brazil – the land of Carnival and nude beaches – such a response to somewhat revealing clothing on a college campus has largely been panned. Across Brazil, the media and populace are wondering why the university took such severe action.
Pink dress student is a natural Brazilian
Brazil and sexual prudishness simply don’t go together. Despite the fact that the standard of living for much of the population is low and crime is ever-present, individuals who have more sex and are less embarrassed by it are happier. Pink dress student Geisy Arruda, 20, is certainly walking away happy, as the media is watching her each and every move. A mere six months after she was suspended, says Gather, pink dress student Geisy Arruda is well on her way to developing her own media empire with photo shoots, enhancement surgery, TV gigs and an upcoming clothing brand.
Gather calling out pink dress student is the pot calling the kettle black
It is completely disingenuous of a blog like Gather to take a position of wondering why someone like pink dress student Geisy Arruda can become a celebrity for something as silly as being expelled from college – and it is silly, because none of the stories about the incident mention that she was attending a private religious college or that she flashed private parts. The Gather blogger fails to admit that their blog is a part of the star-making media that revels in sex, bad behavior and salaciousness. They drool over the sex tapes of Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton; swoon over the women in Tiger and Jesse’s lives; wonder at just how numerous children Jon and Kate, Octomom and the Duggars can pump out; and happily chastise Dr. Jack Kevorkian while covering his each move. All pink dress student Geisy Arruda did was walk through the world and show off her body just a little. She might make a lot more money off self-p! romotion than most people, which prompts some to question whether it is fair that the media allows that to happen. Maybe it isn’t. But who said life was all communism and puppy dog tails?
Does being a celebrity mean what it used to?
Looking at the pink dress student matter from a different angle, Gather does make one good point. Once upon a time, talent was the key ingredient in fame. Looking good did grease the wheels, but you had to have something additional. Now individuals can become famous by looking good have having a talent for self-promotion. Self-promotion is a talent in itself, so clearly it isn’t all about looks. So Gather is wrong when they claim that “a huge rack” is all one needs. The fame of the one-dimensional is fleeting. Face it, individuals like Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Tila Tequila have more than looks – they’re expert self-promoters who know how to play the marketing game. They might not ring your bell, but somewhere, somebody’s ears are ringing. Pink dress student Geisy Arruda may or may not have the “it” factor, but so far seems like that she’s making waves.
