Former Brazilian prostitute Raquel Pacheco poses for Reuters in Sao Paulo, December 7, 2005. Pacheco, who went by the name Bruna Surfistinha, or Bruna the Surfer Girl, turned to prostitution after running away from home when she was 17. She is now a best-selling author who spends her days rushing to interviews, promoting her book "The Sweet Venom of the Scorpion: The Diary of a Call Girl," a vivid account of the three years that the 21-year-old Pacheco spent selling her body for money.
