Abstract

This paper analyses the recent popularization of ho in two Brazilian soap opera characters: Natalie Lamour (Deborah Secco) of Irrational Heart, and Suelen (Ísis Valverde) of Brazil Avenue, through three axis: sexual habits, love relationships and ending of the plot. The purpose is to understand the strategies undertaken by them for achieving a successful life; seeking to discuss the cultural elements that enable their rise in the media. Our conclusion indicates that the ho sets a class issue on the media, disrupting the invisible order of Brazilian inequality.
