Sunbathers stand near part of 22 kilometers of clothes that were washed and hung out to dry on Botafogo beach in Rio de Janeiro, January 8. Approximately seven tons of clothes - some 35,000 shirts - were collected recently at a show in Rio and were washed on the beach as a promotion by the laundry soap 'Ace.' After allegedly setting a world record for being the largest-ever clothes line, they will be donated to the poor throughout the city.
