Brazzil

Michael, you live in Curitiba and weather is cold. That's the reason miniksirts are not so popular there. I live in Rio and is not so uncommon to see women dressed like Geisy, specially this time of the year. I never have seen none of them be molested or called "bitch".

Fashion as King is sometimes a very stupid ruler.

its all ridiculas....the behavior by the students is what is out of line...bordering on ridiculas...

what is this stigmitation of prostitutes? if they want to study at college they have as much right as anyone

pink pink pink...what is all this referance to pink? the dress was red, the only pink we will hopefully see on this girl is when she poses for playboy...i hope she makes a lot of money

i mean, cmon the hypocracy is enormas, ana hickman runs around in mini skirts on her morning show that make you want to crawl up her legs and take sniff...why all this bs about this girl wearing a tight dress...?

you should have seen push in the dress she wore in my high school...now that was some dangerous stuff

I seriously do not understand the whirlwind the Brazilian media is making about this. It should not even be a question if it's moral to wear such a mini-dress, when we all know morality is relative. Geisy had the right to wear whatever she chose to and none of us have anything to do with her decision. Let the poor girl back into the school, finish her final exams, and then I hope she takes one of those scholarships to another university. What a bunch of savages! I am truly ashamed of my fellow countrymen.

Geysy managed to set everybody up.......she set students up......she set yellow press up.....I've just read a local newspaper that she will likely show off her curves to Playboy soon.......will the guys who booed and insulted her buy the magazine.....by the way, set the photo shop stuff aside, ok?

Got the link to this story from a friend who has been to Brazil a few times. This was my reply to him:

Yeah, I saw that. Well, as you know, Brazil is a big place. And I am sure they have as much a range of moral and personal ideas and ideals as we do. A girl at NYCU could walk around in a mini no problem, but she can't at BYU, since it has a strict dress code. And both are here in the US of A.

Dress codes are becoming the "new thing" here in the US also as college admins are trying desperately to get back some of the kinds of powers they had back in the 50s over student conduct. They can't do much re drinking, drugging and shagging, so they have little else left but how kids dress. Also I think as colleges continue to get more populated by women, the competition for boys' attention gets ratcheted up. I am sure there are girls walking around campuses these days dressed in a level of revealing attire that would have been pretty out there even when we were back in college. If 7/10ths of the pop'n at a college is one sex only, the majority sex will start competing much more to get the attention of the minority sex. This is pretty well-established. Only if the environment is overwhelmingly single-sex does this phenomenon break down, or if there are fairly equal numbers of males and females.

Nonetheless, I have no idea if that was at work in this particular case. I am guessing it was not. No matter, she should not have received the kind of reaction she got. If her mini was a dress code violation it was a matter for the college admin'n to handle, not her fellow students.

It's odd that few girls who really wear mini skirts.....I've been there many times and it's not unusual to have a walk inside the main shopping malls and see hotties wearing it....when I left the malls my neck just hurt because I used to look back so many times.....wow

Only in Brazil. Much ado about nothing. Lots of huffing and puffing about trivial things. Instead of focusing on important things, Brazil has this circus. It would be funny if it weren't grotesque.

Where else on Earth would a riot occur because of a miniskirt?

Living in Brazil,in a big center, In general I have always had the opinion that Brazilians are "SO MODERN" in behaviour and trends, showing off a very shiny shell, but truely provincial, some of the times unconsciously fascits, in mindset. It's too easy to know what Brazilians are thinking as they are so caricatural. Boring.And yes grotesque.

Another thing I hate about Brazilians' behaviour is that, in general terms, it seems that all they have time to spend with it's other people's lives. It is completely maddening!!! When you walk on the streets of Brazil, people are worried about imitating your shoes style, or whether you have a happy visage. Really, Brazilians in general should get a life. And old Brazilian men should know that any woman they find attractive is not their daugthers so they can stare her breasts on the streets!

mr. rubin ,, we here in the u.s.a. allready have far to many illegal aliens and brazilian nationals are in the fray...corrupt criminal visas issuers in brazil are sending brazilians to the u.s on tourist visas and once they arrive proceed to obtain fraudelent counterfeit documents and then on to criminal activities...do not encourage any brazilian nationals to come to the u.s.a as illegal aliens,,,at least until we deport all the illegals we allready have...incidentally ,,, the pink skirt lady is a tourist major??..

No one's going to call me commie...?

Mr. USA please let me know where do I get a fake visa, I could use one...

Why do I want a visa to go to the USA? I have love matters to take care of but for your embassy this isn't a good reason to depart, now is it?

karina you would do anything for a green card ..your third world socialist utopia is two thirds a swamp!!!.. stay in brazil little chavezista!!!...

karina you would do anything for a green card ..your third world socialist utopia is two thirds a swamp!!!.. stay in brazil little chavezista!!!...

well well well I'd say treat your traumas, whatever savage capitalism has done to you,and life will be a whole more tolerable for you!!

Is it Brazil considerate part of U.S backyard?

The whole things was disgusting. I hope Geisy gets over it. But the biggest snow job was the way the BS press in Brazil jumped all over it. The appeal to the poorly informed middle and lower classes, stoking up a whirlwind fire over something rather banal. This sells lots of newspapers and magazines, ups the ratings on crap TV and has people concerned about things of little impotance. Meanwhile, at the loading docks of the National Congress... (you can imagine what's really going on while we are all shocked by the mini-skirt ordeal).

Michael, you need to travel a bit more in Brazil. Your comment "Pants are the customary dress code for women" was so far off, it even makes me wonder if you really live in Brazil.

The expulsion was unforgivable. Nobody's education should be put on the line due to a difference of opinion, especially over such a trivial things as fashion. This shows why that specific university is considered one of the worst in the country. Its bad rep**ation is long-standing.

Just for the record: there is no official dress code at univeristy in Brazil. You dress for your "tribe". If Geisy's tribe is the mini-skirt clan, so be it.

Brazil has lost its liberal air, regressing to the conservative influences of the British back at the turn of last century.

It's a shame.

Interesting text but I strongly disagree with the idea that pants would be the norms for female students in Brazilian University. it may be so in Curitiba, a conservative and cold place from Brazilian standards.

Where i Teach, in a public university from Bahia, pants is uniform for male teachers. Everybody else use ropes more adequate to hot temperature (no conditioned air in most classrooms!). At this time of the year with temperature about 35 Celcius, female students wearing pant are a minority. Most of my students show more flesh than Geyse...

Geisy told clearly that she was dressed this way to go to directly to a party after that.

Modest dress is all that is required, pants are good for men and male professors. Maybe Rubin can go back to the USA and wear some pants for a change as he and Goldman and Glickhouse once again harm a Brasilian culture.

Lots of specialists tell that mortgage loans help a lot of people to live the way they want, just because they are able to feel free to buy needed stuff. Moreover, various banks offer secured loan for all people.

I think Geisy and everything about this case is stupid. She was wearing something the boys shouldn't complain about. But the worst was that from that day until months later, she became "famous", starring reality shows and being guest in talk shows and these kinds of stuff. Television gave her o much attention, and she was turned into a "celebrity". I bet there are too many girls that used a dress like hers in other colleges and nothing was done. Neither by the college mates, nor the university, and obviously didn't get that attention from TV.
