Description: Spanning from the 1980’s to present day, Eloisa Aquino delves into the largely queer Brazilian female pop singer population. Eloisa details each artist’s public queer identity accompanied by a portrait illustration of the artist. She highlights seven singers: Angela Ro Ro, Marina Lima, Laura Finocchiaro, Vange Leonel, Cássia Eller, Adriana Calcanhotto, and Mart'nália. The artists range in their use of labels, queer pride, activism, and coming out story.

"This divas and rockers of several generations of Brazilian female singers are mysteriously overwhelmingly lesbians. But why? And is this even true? "--Publisher's Web site (viewed on April 14, 2015).

"There are some many Brazilian women singers who are gay that people wonder sometimes if any Brazilian singers are straight. This zine humorously explores the varied levels that many of these fantastic women dealt publicly with their sexuality."--Etsy website (viewed on April 14, 2015).
