"YOU WANT ME TO WEAR WHAT?!"

"YOU WANT ME TO WEAR WHAT?!" Marcia yelled.

She was backstage of the Hora de Diversão, a famous variety show with an audience of millions. The wardrobe department had just brought what she was to wear onstage: But, it appeared to be just a few leaves.

"Don't worry, it's simple." The wardrobe woman reassured her. "They're pasties: simply peel off the back and put them over your privates. You are waxed right?"

"Y... yes..." Marica said, blushing furiously at the question. This was Brazil after all, of course she was waxed!

"Good." The wardrobe woman said. "Then just put these on yourself, and don't worry: they peel off totally painlessly."

"But... but..." Marcia stammered as the wardrobe woman handed her the green leaves.

"Better hurry: You're do onstage in five." The wardrobe woman said, turning and leaving.

Marcia was utterly stunned. They expected her to go onstage... wearing pasties and nothing else?! True, Brazilian TV was much more risque than most of the world... but Marcia wasn't like that! She was a traditional, reserved woman who dreamed of being a famous singer and dancer. Would she really go on live TV with nothing but pasties on to make that dream come true?!
