No More ‘Edecanes:’ Eye-Candy Models No Longer Allowed at Mexico City Events
Mexico News Daily |August 17, 2018
Attractive, sometimes scantily clad female models who are often employed at events to greet guests or simply to act as eye candy will no longer be allowed at government events in Mexico City.
The capital’s mayor, José Ramón Amieva, last week banned the employment of the attendants known in Mexico as edecanes at events sponsored by the local government, stating that “this job should not exist” because “it goes against policies of gender equality.”
The decision breaks new ground in a country where entrenched gender stereotypes often continue to relegate women to support roles in the workforce.
“Women have a potential equal to or greater than that of men,” Amieva said. “Any circumstance that may degrade or stereotype women must be eliminated.”

The likelihood of me attending a local government sponsored event in Mexico City just… Okay, there was never any chance I was ever going to attend a local government sponsored event in Mexico City anyway.

Blue is SUCH a nice color.
It seems like the more logical solution to solving the “gender equality” would be to hire Antonio Banderas look alikes to serve as eye candy for the ladies. Of all the crap governments waste money on, I would be in support of wasting it on traditional examples of gorgeousness.
