LRD ( Little Red Dress ) Making Trouble In Brazil ?

LRD ( Little Red Dress ) Making Trouble In Brazil? It all started when a college student named Geisy Arruda, a 20-year-old studying tourism at the Bandeirante University, known as Uniban, near Sao Paulo got sensationalized of wearing a long-sleeved rose-colored dress yet revealing because it’s barely stretched past mid-thigh. Several students harassed and heckled her wearing the LRD ( little red dress ). Several videos using mobile phones and amateur recordings swarmed the internet.

It was said that Arruda was expelled from the university not because of the LRD (little red dress ) problem alone but because of Arruda’s misbehavior. Decio Machado, attorney for Uniban, said Arruda was being provocative, hiking up her LRD little red dress, twirling around on a ramp and entering a classroom so students would catcall at her, from the newspaper O Globo. Which Arruda denied.

She was expelled from the university but after a public outcry of protest and counter protest, Arruda would be readmitted. The decision was not merely to please the public, and is not an admission of a mistake but the university chose an educational stance instead of a disciplinary one. Educational stance? or for public conformity?

I was really surprised about this outrage reaction. Not only from the students but also from the university. I could say that this is definitely inhuman. The first thing that has entered my mind after reading the headline news was that, Isn’t this country the one who are so fond of wearing “bikinis”? All i thought was those people who polluted my mind. Isn’t the place where transexuals go? Or where there are plenty of them? I’m sorry for that wrong impression and that i forgot this country is a catholic country.

For Arruda who had set a fashion style in her school by wearing her LRD (little red dress ). I’m sorry gal, it was just not the perfect place. Or maybe the public is not ready yet. Not ready yet? I must admit i really can’t accuse Arruda of misbehaving or is guilty of any malicious act because it might be her way of expressing her fashion style. And besides the country isn’t Arabic that it would require its people of what they are supposed to wear. Or is the university a Catholic school run by nuns? If yes maybe i’ll understand but if not i guess it’s too much.
