Fita - the tan line fashion from Rio de Janeiro
When the sun goes down, the women peel off the tape to reveal the tan lines they have been working on all day.
They rub a paraffin mixture on their bodies before applying electrical tape in the shape of a bikini to get a precise line. This fashion is all over Rio with many hours spent dedicated to the look. The paraffin lotion ensures a deeper tan.
