The organizers of Miss Bumbum Brasil sent an email this Tuesday afternoon (26) to the presidential candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and his wife, Rosângela da Silva, Janja. In the message, which was addressed to the party’s national directory, those responsible for the contest invite the couple to be part of the jury of the grand final, scheduled for a little over a week from now.
“If accepted, Lula and Janja will be welcomed by an exclusive team from the event’s organization, which will take them to the competition venue in the Ipiranga neighborhood, at 8 pm on August 5th”, reads the text, shot at 1:53 pm – a copy of the e-mail was sent to journalists as proof that the invitation was actually made. If they’re going to accept it, that’s another five hundred. Arguments abound. “Butt competition is also political”, says, without ceremony, the organizers of the event.
Created in 2011, Miss Bumbum Brasil is a beauty contest that, as the name suggests, focuses on a very specific part of the female anatomy. The 27 participants, one representative from each state plus one from the Federal District, may have undergone cosmetic surgery on any part of the body, except for the part that is worth the most points in the judgment: the butt.
The contest is far from unanimous. In 2013, English journalist Daisy Donovan wrote a story for the Daily Mail in which she called the competition degrading, and accused its creator of objectifying and humiliating women. The 2018 edition was announced as the last in history and ended in a shack, with two contestants almost hitting each other on stage. Miss Bumbum Brasil had a new edition in 2021, and this year it is already in the final phase, with the 15 best placed so far.
