SAO PAULO: Brazil's case of the pink mini-dress that has gone viral on the Internet has left many scratching their heads — how could it be that an outfit, no matter how short, would cause such an uproar in a tropical nation where skimpy clothing and tiny bikinis barely raise an eyebrow?
The answer, Bandeirante University officials have said, is not in the pink dress, but in how Geisy Arruda, a 20-year-old tourism student, chose to wear it. In expelling her from the university — where she has since been reinstated — officials said she had paraded provocatively and raised the dress.
Arruda vehemently denied the claim, saying, ''It's a big lie that I raised the dress,'' the private Agencia Estado news agency reported.
She has not made any public statements since the university — which is not religious or known to be conservative — announced Monday she would be allowed to return to classes. But Arruda said previously she would be afraid to go back.
Her lawyer, Nehemias Domingos de Melo, said there must be safety guarantees for Arruda to return, adding that she has been contacted by two other colleges offering her a full scholarship.
