Carnival is still a few days away, but some Brazilians
are already strutting through the streets wearing next to
nothing.
About 25 models paraded in their smalls through a busy
district in Brasilia on Tuesday to mark National Underwear
Day.
Women in lingerie, thigh-high stockings and stiletto heels
mingled with men wearing boxers, briefs and stylish top hats.
Bystanders gawked and took photos, bus drivers abandoned
their vehicles and a growing crowd followed the models from a
mall to a bus station.
The parade of undergarments is organised by a fashion website
and inspired by a similar event in New York.
Organisers say it's meant to promote Brazil's underwear
manufacturing industry.
