A former Mexican mayor has been forced to speak out about the commotion caused by her cleavage, after football fans claimed they struggled to keep their eyes on the pitch while watching the World Cup.
Sandra Cuevas, who served as the mayor of Mexico City's borough of Cuauhtémoc from October 2021 to March 2024, has now made a statement about the attention her low-cut top drew.
After being spotted out celebrating Mexico’s World Cup wins and documenting her festivities on social media, fans were fixated on Cuevas.
Despite the forwardness of some people, Cuevas has declared that she takes the attention around her breasts as a compliment.
The 40-year-old is also flattered that she has been compared to Mar Castro, a model who was nicknamed 'La Chiquitibum', after Mexico’s celebratory chant after starring in a 1986 World Cup advert.
According to The Sun, Cuevas said: "The Chiquitibum… well, guys, what can I do, I can’t just take them off.
"They had already nicknamed me that, and it amuses me, I like it. I don’t take it as an attack, there will be those who think that way and take it in a derogatory way, but that’s how we Mexicans are.”
In a video of her celebrating Mexico’s 1 - 0 win over South Korea last week, she told fans how she threw herself into the celebrations, captioning the post: "Here in the front row to celebrate the triumph of the Mexican national team, with the neighborhood, with the people, enjoying life and our most beautiful!"
One fan boldly commented: "We were hoping for a cleavage shot…”
Another added: "This woman really represents the country. Long live Sandra Cueva!"
Someone else added to the shower of compliments: "Beautiful as always."
It only takes a quick search of the former mayor to tell that she is no stranger to being the center of attention.
Local news outlet El País previously reported that to celebrate her first day as mayor, she put on quite the display. There were fireworks, a red carpet, and butterflies while she threw balls of cash from her balcony office.
As Cuevas’ TikTok following continues to grow, the more she posts about celebrating the World Cup, Mexico’s players might have to accept they will be sharing the limelight with the former mayor this summer.
