Leysi Suarez, a Peruvian showgirl and dancer for Alma Bella band made international headlines when a naked picture of her on top of the Peruvian flag was published on the cover of a magazine.

News agencies from Reuters to the Associated Press covered the story while BBC News broadcast a report on the dancer's controversial picture.

While she initially affirmed there was nothing wrong with what she had done and stated she would do it again saying she loved Peru and would show it with her "body and soul", she has changed her mind and retracted her statements.

After Peru's Minister of Defense, Antero Flores-Araoz assigned the case to a public prosecutor and announced that charges would be pressed against Leysi, the Peruvian dancer has stated she is truly sorry.

"It was all Daysi's idea," said Leysi, blaming the woman in charge of 'D Farandula magazine.

Leysi explained she had nothing to do with the idea and was only hired to pose. "Everything was planned beforehand," said Leysi.

"If I have to apologize I will, I don't have any problem, I'll do it one thousand times," said the Peruvian showgirl.

"This experience will serve me to mature and not make the same mistake," said a concerned Leysi.

    • piquing comment, SarahAna. you hate men, but who's sexist idea was it? a woman's. funny fancying that.

      beautiful Leysi is just a liberally-titillating publicity stunt, cheaply charaded as a girl's naked sense of "national pride." but, apparently, despite the ignorant spreading of commercially crasser american sex-infested culture, modesty can still actually mean something in some places. I'll fancy that.

    • They must have been grossed out thinking about her privates on top of the flag. Sexual repression is everywhere, even in this country.

    • Jesus, I'm glad shit like this doesn't happen in America. There's no reason to have to apologize for something like that. Sexual repression FTW.

      I'd want her all over my flag.
