Gisele Will Headline Rio's "Sexiest Ever" Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Brazil’s Olympic opening ceremony will feature retired supermodel Gisele Bundchen as the embodiment of “The Girl From Ipanema,” according to the Daily Mail. Apparently, the ceremony will prominently feature Brazilian women in various states of undress. Via the Daily Mail:

" Details of the show have been kept secret, but insiders say it will feature 6,000 scantily clad performers and that the theme will be ‘the evolution of the people of Brazil’, featuring tributes to the rainforest, Brazil’s famous Carnival and the country’s love of sensual dance and the female form. ‘There will be lots of nearly naked women doing the samba,’ said a source connected with the three-hour spectacle, after a dress rehearsal surrounded by armed guards. ‘The costumes have been designed to show off as much flesh as possible which means as little material as they can get away with. "

Who exactly do they have to clear the outfits with? Does the IOC concern itself with things like this? I’m fairly certain Brazil can do whatever they want here.

The good news for parents worried their children will be exposed to naked bodies on television is that NBC will be airing the opening ceremony via tape delay so there should be plenty of blurred or blacked out body parts. Or maybe they’ll just cut away to show the previous sexiest dance number to ever hit Brazil.
