Bruna Surfistinha (Portuguese for "Little Surfer Bruna") is the alter
ego of Raquel Pacheco, a Brazilian former prostitute who attracted the
attention of Brazilian media and television by publishing, in a weblog,
her sexual experiences with clients. Bruna explained in television
programs that she was a normal girl, but that at around the age of 17
she left home because of the traditional family oriented views of her
father and to start to earn money.
Bruna appeared in various television programs in Brazil and several periodicals and magazines. Her blog attracted more than 50,000 readers per day. She appeared in some pornographic films in Brazil in her early prostitute days.
In 2005 she released a book: O Doce Veneno do Escorpião (The Scorpion's Sweet Venom) (ISBN 85-7695-017-0). The book was translated into English with the title Diary of a Brazilian call girl. The Scorpion's Sweet Venom, and published by Bloomsbury Publishing in 2006. This book also inspired the 2011 Brazilian film _Bruna Surfistinha (2011)_, starring Deborah Secco in the main role.
