Striding down the streets of Sao Paulo in their green and yellow bikinis and high heels, these glamorous models have been stopping the traffic as they promote the much anticipated Miss Bum Brazil competition.
The 27-strong bevy of ladies includes a competitor who works as a Kourtney Kardashian lookalike, a DJ better known for her substantial breast implants and a former porn star.
With just a tiny bikini and a flimsy white sash to cover their modesty, each of these ladies were doing their best to represent their state in the competition known locally as Miss Bum Bum.
Bending down to allow plenty of photos of their peachy behinds, the models were busy raising awareness of the start of the online voting stage of the competition. The public must decide which of the 27 women will be allowed to compete in the November final.
Competition is fierce as only 15 of the buxom beauties will be allowed to take part in the final. The winner of the competition will be awarded a much sought after cover shoot for a popular men's magazine, a significant cash prize and celebrity status.
Miss Bum Bum was first started five years ago and developed into a major glamour model competition in Brazil. Several spin-offs have been held as well as the world famous annual competition in Brazil.
However the contest has been hit with several incidents of controversy. The 2014 contest was marred by scandal after it was alleged that one of the contestants, Indianara Carvalho, had bribed the panel of judges with over £70,000 in cash to make sure she was crowned the winner.
Before her long awaited photo shoot, Ms Carvalho later revealed in December 2014 that she had undergone surgery to 'restore' her virginity so she could enjoy her first time with 'someone special'.
She won the 2014 competition despite Claudia Alende, better known as the Brazilian 'Megan Fox', appearing to be clear favourite among the jubilant crowd. Ms Alende had to settle for second place.
Rumours of bribery and vote rigging have been alleged in the previous two competitions. 2014 contestant Livia Santos was kicked out of the competition for allegedly rigging the online voting poll by attempting to buy votes.
Likewise, contestants Mari Sousa, 25, and Eliana Amaral, 24, were also accused of paying bribes in the 2013 edition of the much loved contest.
However, the contest has continually broken new ground with a wide range of different contestants bringing something unique each year.
Last year's competition saw the appearance of Juliana Bittencortt, the first plus-size model to make the top 28. Similarly, Patricia Oliveira became the oldest contestant ever when she competed at the age of 39 last year.
