Remember Xuxa? Yeah, that hot little number that all your anglo friends’ moms would turn off when you were watching “a kids show” on “the Spanish channel”. Her legendary sexy kids show has circled the globe, and has even been parodied by The Simpsons. Now, Xuxa’s coming clean about how she learned to be sexy:

Actress and singer Xuxa, who still reigns supreme in the world of children at 43 years of age, revealed in an interview the secrets that made her a sex symbol two decades ago, when she was still a virgin.

A pencil helped make a pretty, innocent blonde with blue eyes, who still slept with a teddy bear into a femme fatale, according to Istoé Gente magazine.

She had never made love but was already considered a sex symbol. How could she show a face of desire if she had never done anything, Xuxa asked herself. Laughing, the “reina de los bajitos” remembers her first sessions as a model and when she got her director instructions from the: “Bite the pencil, Xuxa! Now imagine that the sun is in your eyes. Keep wrinkling your brow, with your eyes almost closed. Now suck on the air. That’s a face of desire!”

Yuck. What I find ironic is that Xuxa started her career as a porn star, in a movie in which she seduces a 13 year old, and someone thought it would be great idea to make her into a kids show idol.
