Blistex posted:We had an exchange student from Solvakia as well who was staying with one of my friends. We invited her to the beach (she arrived in late August). and let her know that there wasn't anyplace to really change so to wear her swimsuit under her clothes. When everyone was peeling off their clothes (swimsuits underneath) she took her shirt and bra off and then spent a minute digging around in her bag for her bikini top. The guys were pretty surprised/impressed (she was quite attractive and well proportioned), but then were all revolted when they saw that she didn't shave under her armpits. Also they this was 1999, so when they saw that she was wearing a thong bottom, they didn't know what to think. I realized that Canadian culture was pretty repressed as well, since there was this really attractive, mostly naked girl on the beach, but everyone was getting wigged out by her armpit hair. hah there must have been slovakian exchange student push at the time then because my experience happened around 2000-1. The girl I knew got hooked up with a church-going, bible thumping family so she was pretty sad during her stay. My gf at the time and I went to hang out with her at the church her insane exchange family went for a visit outside of seeing her at school. I was my typical blasphemous self and my gf was cool so she had fun that day but I imagine besides school she had a less than stellar exchange visit. Getting sent to rural ohio is not ideal in general. I guess she actually got a pretty accurate representation of like 50% of the US from the family experience and I hope I was able to show her there are cool, weird people here too. In retrospect, wish I had been single but alas. in other wild kids show news, "Nubelez" is a kids show I guess from Peru, I just stumbled on it. It clearly is copying the Xuxa model but with multiple models dancing around with revealing outfits. Also apparently extremely popular but in spanish v portuguese: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfPOtGp6psw no pubes yet sorry fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Jun 12, 2020 |

Oh huh, I guess Jeff Dunham did the puppet work for Xuxa. You remember Jeff Dunham. The hack comedian with the endless lineup of racist puppets like the Dead Terrorist and Jose the Jalapeno. But it's ok for him to make racist jokes because "it's the puppets being racist!"

Which of the outfits are particularly revealing in your opinion? I'm curious because I can't see what's the big deal on most of them. I give you there's like two segments that have outfits are kinda revealing, but even then...

I'm seeing lots of women in short skirts and thigh high boots. I guess you could say that that's kind of borderline. The thing that actually struck me is how European the models/dancers generally look, which says something about Latin American beauty standards, even in such a heavily Amerindian country.

HardDiskD posted:Honest question... Which of the outfits are particularly revealing in your opinion? personally i think its all cool and fine, you live in peru - its prob hot as balls if you don't live on a mountain and you should be able to wear whatever you want. My childhood growing up in the midwest during the 90's I would say nearly every one of the outfits they are wearing would be considered showing too much skin for a kids show. it was a time of the war on drugs, war on violent video games and holy moley you better not be showing your midriff. Things later 90s shifted significantly, I'd assume some reagan republicans went poof but things are still pretty conservative in some place

As a Brazilian national born in the late 80s I am very familiarized with Xuxa but only really cared about the cartoons they aired during her show. For a long time there was this dumb as poo poo rumor about her being a satanist. Her show's set caught fire once too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24nZxbLdWBo&hd=1

Basically short-circuit + lots of wood/plastic/cloth crap around = very quick inferno build-up. No fire retardants at all it seems.

Uh, Xuxa was popular for a bit here in Mexico. But she couldn't beat the ratings of En Familia con Chabelo (El Inmortal). Edit: btw i think she not only boned Pelé but married him. Then I remember there was this huge drama when she separated him. I think he was abusive or something? Desperado Bones fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Jun 13, 2020 |

no pubes yet sorry posted:when i was in high school i made friends with a slovakian exchange student and she gave me the magazine (think USA today or whatever) she read on the plane. somewhere in the first couple pages of the magazine was a 2-page spread of a model, breasts fully exposed. i had heard that it was common abroad but that poo poo would literally have to be sold 18+ with an id in the US. This is what happened to me, when I was 14 years old and me and my family went to London for a week. Our accommodation was in a convent, believe it or not, well outside of the city so plenty of time on the train every day. Passengers on the Underground might leave their newspaper on the seat when they got to their station if they had finished with it, for others to read. So I got a nice dose of Page3 girl.

My kid was of the age that it was on TV a few times in my house. I very much had the impression that XUXA was banging the well-built guy in the leopard outfit. The body language was obvious.

G-III posted:That clip thankfully doesn't give it away, but the movie is full live action and the animated bits shown is just the opening credits. Also fair to note that Os Trapalhoes was a comedy tv show and series of movies that ran for nearly years. For most folks on the internet they're likely familiar with Os Trapalhoes Na Guerra Dos Planetas which is most affectionately known as "Brazilian Star Wars" madness. I actually appreciate the real leg sweeps, the extra who gets full on kicked in the shin doesn't really sell it but the slow-mo does. thats a solid kick. the fast motion afterwards really spins your head which i guess was the intended effect? brazil is going through some hardcore poo poo right now with covid, Rio is in pretty deep at this point. there are some charities that could probably use some help but as I don't speak portuguese i can't reasonably promote any.

I have no doubt that they're all Peruvians (who technically aren't Mesoamerican, by the way). Just commenting on the appearance of the model/presenter types in the video, but I guess this is not the thread for it.

there was a brief period where Chicago station WGN started going nationwide, exporting weird rear end local poo poo like Bozo the Clown to confused americans nation-wide. at some point they made a deal with Xuxu and then she was all up in our business for a minute. I only remember Bozo because the local video game arcade had a bozo themed skee ball game with a talking bozo who encouraged you as you wasted your parents' money. "just keep laughing" is what Bozo would tell you. god knows I have tried.
