We brazilians don't have any problems with sexual content or nude women, for example in Carnaval "Rio or Sao paulo" you see in the parade a lot of nude women or man, and in the crowd you find 5, 6, 10 year old kids, the TV has lots of nude women. I feel that in the USA sexo is portray as a wrong act, dirty and prohibited. For me is ridiculous seen in the american TV or Cinema nude women all cover up and always ben rated-R and Violence is PG in this country. My point is that with all the freedom we brazilians have regards to sex, Brazil has a very low rate of rape, in other hand USA has one of the highest, just ask yourself why. I think is about time for this country start to deny violence and stop to deny the fact that sex is beautiful and a strong part of human nature.

What about those women? I actually did not think of a "waxing procedure" until reading this blog. I think the black and white, the tan line and the overall imagery are creative and aesthetic. There's no denying, really, the visual aesthetics here. As for the slogan, I'd enjoy the image without the slogan. The slogan is very secondary when you have imagery this compelling/eye catching...

This campaign is great. Did you know porn is not allowed inside most prisons in the USA? This ad would allow prisoners access much-needed porn smuggled into their cells inside magazine's depicting otherwise PG-13 material. This is a great cause. Seriously, now. Why do ads featuring fit men never get accused of "objectifying" people? This only happens when beautiful female bodies are shown. Sounds like sexism, or modern-day female self-oppression. Seriously, would women be less objectified if the model was 30 pounds overweight and covered in scars? I have a pale, semi-gelatinous body with very little muscle definition in the ab/chest area. Why don't they just photoshop my body into these shots to appease people? I have a feeling Cabana Cachaca would go out of business if they used this strategy. Should the attractive female body be veiled? It almost sounds like radical islam. Ironic, isn't it? Bare female bodies find their way into advertising because women are beautiful. It's as simple as that. It's not oppression, it's showing us an aesthetically pleasing, provocative image that compels us to buy something. What's wrong with that? If it isn't OK to depict attractive females in advertising, what's the alternative? Show overweight, unattractive female bodies. Is showing people's bodies simply off-limits in this uptight world we live in? Viva Cabana Cachaca! I disagree. This campaign is great.

If she were wearing something that let the viewer’s imagination lose, that would be more visually pleasing to the eye. When people want to look at nude bodies they visit certain web sites for that.But,when I see an ad by companies who are famous for pushing the envelope, I expect them to produce material that’s risky, not obscene.

As a woman interested in fashion, I love that Mario Sorrenti (famous fashion photographer) shot this ad campaign. Additionally, as someone who didn't know about cachaca, I visited the website and learned a lot. I in now way find this offensive to women.
