It’s an unusual campaign pledge: a strip club in every town, but that is what Adriely Fatal, a stripper and “erotic actress” from northeastern Brazil, is promising voters as she hits the campaign trail.
With a general election in October, three adult entertainers are preparing to battle it out for a seat in Ceara state’s local assembly.
Leading Ceara’s campanha erotica is 23-year-old Fatal, who also promises to focus on hospitals and education and is campaigning on an open-backed truck outside the local football stadium, where she dances dressed in skin-tight shorts.
“My campaign is different to the others. I’m using sensuality to attract votes — I’m trying to attract young people and men,” said Fatal, a former stripper in Boate Tropical, one of the state capital’s most popular erotic clubs.
“I campaign outside football stadiums, in squares and bars, in car garages, on the beach. I’m going to concentrate on healthcare and on showing people that just because I use tight clothes it doesn’t mean that I can’t do a proper job,” added Fatal, a member of the Christian Workers party, who counts waiters and taxi drivers among her supporters and cites the leftist presidential candidate Dilma Rousseff as one of her political idols.
Fatal, whose real name is Maria Isabel Gomes Cardoso, claims opinion polls show she has about 10,000 votes in the bag. If she can increase that to 12,000, her campaign manager believes Fatal will soon become Fatal MP.
Fatal is joined on the campaign trail by the Democrats party candidate Maria Adelina Nascimento, AKA Katia Heffner. Named after Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy, she runs a swingers’ club in Fortaleza.
Another adult entertainer, nicknamed Deborah Soft, is running for office with the slogan “Vote with pleasure.”
In the national election Rousseff, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s chosen successor, appears to be pulling ahead, with polls giving her about 45 percent of the vote.
Archeologists in Peru on Thursday said they found the 5,000-year-old remains of a noblewoman at the sacred city of Caral, revealing the important role played by women in the oldest center of civilization in the Americas. “What has been discovered corresponds to a woman who apparently had elevated status, an elite woman,” archeologist David Palomino said. The mummy was found in Aspero, a sacred site within the city of Caral that was a garbage dump for more than 30 years until becoming an archeological site in the 1990s. Palomino said the carefully preserved remains, dating to 3,000BC, contained skin, part of the
‘WATER WARFARE’: A Pakistani official called India’s suspension of a 65-year-old treaty on the sharing of waters from the Indus River ‘a cowardly, illegal move’ Pakistan yesterday canceled visas for Indian nationals, closed its airspace for all Indian-owned or operated airlines, and suspended all trade with India, including to and from any third country. The retaliatory measures follow India’s decision to suspend visas for Pakistani nationals in the aftermath of a deadly attack by shooters in Kashmir that killed 26 people, mostly tourists. The rare attack on civilians shocked and outraged India and prompted calls for action against their country’s archenemy, Pakistan. New Delhi did not publicly produce evidence connecting the attack to its neighbor, but said it had “cross-border” links to Pakistan. Pakistan denied any connection to
TRUMP EFFECT: The win capped one of the most dramatic turnarounds in Canadian political history after the Conservatives had led the Liberals by more than 20 points Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney yesterday pledged to win US President Donald Trump’s trade war after winning Canada’s election and leading his Liberal Party to another term in power. Following a campaign dominated by Trump’s tariffs and annexation threats, Carney promised to chart “a new path forward” in a world “fundamentally changed” by a US that is newly hostile to free trade. “We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons,” said Carney, who led the central banks of Canada and the UK before entering politics earlier this year. “We will win this trade war and
Armed with 4,000 eggs and a truckload of sugar and cream, French pastry chefs on Wednesday completed a 121.8m-long strawberry cake that they have claimed is the world’s longest ever made. Youssef El Gatou brought together 20 chefs to make the 1.2 tonne masterpiece that took a week to complete and was set out on tables in an ice rink in the Paris suburb town of Argenteuil for residents to inspect. The effort overtook a 100.48m-long strawberry cake made in the Italian town of San Mauro Torinese in 2019. El Gatou’s cake also used 350kg of strawberries, 150kg of sugar and 415kg of
