Pink Dress Student Geisy Arruda Expelled For Attire

Reports vary as to whether Brazilian university student Geisy Arruda – aka the “pink dress student” – wore a form-fitting pink dress or an outfit with an attention-grabbing miniskirt to school, but the end result is clear: she was expelled from the university, and fellow students started a miniature riot over it. Brazil is known for such sexually uninhibited landmarks as Carnival and nude beaches, but evidently dressing slightly too risqué set off some administrators, which in turn brought some guffaws for their subsequent act to suspend Arruda. Across Brazil, the media and populace are wondering why the university took such severe action.

Pink dress student is a natural Brazilian

Brazil isn’t really sexually shy as a nation. Although the standard of living for much of the population is low and crime is ever-present, people who have more sex and are less embarrassed by it are happier. Geisy Arruda, the undaunted pink dress student, is using the expulsion as a happy springboard into stardom. 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.

On the pink dress student – What’s Gather’s problem?

Gather tries to criticize Arruda and the society that would make her a star, but they’re barking up the wrong tree. They’re just as must a part of the culture that celebrates sex, salaciousness and all forms of rambunctiousness in between. 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 kids Jon and Kate, Octomom and the Duggars can pump out; and happily chastise Dr. Jack Kevorkian when covering his each and every move. Geisy Arruda, the pink dress student, simply quickened the pulse by showing off a bit. Is it fair that she’ll make more money than most individuals, particularly in her home country? No. But who said life was all communism and puppy dog tails?

What’s a celebrity these days?

Looking at the pink dress student matter from a different angle, Gather does make one good point. It used to be that talent was what made someone famous. Looking good did grease the wheels, but you had to have something extra. Now individuals can become famous by looking good have having a talent for self-promotion. There is some talent in there, as self-promotion is not something everyone can do well. So Gather is wrong when they claim that “a huge rack” is all one needs. The one-dimensional will only have their 15 minutes before they’re forgotten. The Kim Kardashians and Tila Tequilas of the world have the marketing talent to back up the looks. They might not ring your bell, but someplace, somebody’s ears are ringing. Pink dress student Geisy Arruda might or may not have the “it” factor, but so far seems like that she’s making waves.
