Prostitutes in Rio de Janeiro Wednesday adopted World Cup fever, launching
a range of green-and-gold t-shirts emblazoned with raunchy football phrases.
"Eu jogo pelada" read one of the Portuguese-language slogans, playing on a
phrase that means both "I play naked" and "I play football".
"Put it in, Selecao!" went another exhortation to the Brazil side.
In a further bit of innuendo, the numbers on the backs of the t-shirts were
all 69.
Each of the t-shirts were selling for 17 dollars -- "or half of what I get
for turning a trick in the Rio suburb where I work," one of the
prostitute-models showing off the attire, Gerenilza Marinho, 56, explained to
the Folha de Sao Paulo daily.
She and fellow sex workers were to parade the novelty t-shirts in a Rio
fashion show later Wednesday.
Money raised was to go to Daspu, an association fighting against
discrimination of prostitutes and for alternative revenues for older sex
workers.
本周三，巴西里约热内卢的妓女们借热世界杯，推出了一款印有色情足球用语的金绿色系列T恤衫。
其中一件T恤衫上的标语用葡萄牙语写道“Eu jogo pelada”，这个标语一语双关，既可理解为“裸奔”，也可表示“踢足球”。
另一条标语则是给巴西队助威，写的是：“放进去吧，桑巴军团”。
更具暗示性的是，所有T恤背面的数字都是69。
56岁的格里尼尔扎·玛丽诺是展示这款T恤衫的妓女模特之一。她告诉《圣保罗页报》说，这款T恤每件售价17美元，“是我在里约热内卢郊区每次接客收入的一半”。
她和她的同事们将于本周三晚些时候在里约热内卢举行的一个时装秀上展示这款创意T恤。
T恤的销售所得将捐献给Daspu机构，该机构反对歧视妓女，并为年老妓女谋求其它财路。
