Cheered by legions of carnival fans and be hounded by photographers and media this  7 year old was the showstealer of a lavish party in Rio de Janerio.Yes we are talking about the young Julia Lira who was Dressed in a sequined halter top and a miniskirt made of purple feathers toparade through the Viradouro Samba group.Julia took up the role of a drum corps queen backed by her father Marco Lira who was also the Viradouro Samba president around that time.Julia Lira, a seven-year-old girl, led the Viradouro samba parade into the packed Sambadrome during the Rio de Janeiro carnival , setting the world record for the Youngest drum corps queen.
This youngster had her cliam to fame amidst wide controveries all over.As some in audience felt she was too young to be exposed in the spotlight and that too get projected in a role that  had a flavour of sexulaity.Putting Julia in the carnival role drew the ire of child welfare advocates who were against a young girl taking on a role normally reserved for sultry models and actresses.So many child rights activists strongly objected the performance of Julia.With all the cameramen and reporters barging in to her within ten minutes she broke down as she could not withstand the mass attention and glare.But she was immediately whisked away from the media glare and and with some pat from her mother rose back on stage within five minutes.
A drums corps queen is required to samba  dance around  in front of a massive drum line.The drum beats would get more and mor eintense with the drum corps queen's faster movements.Fortunately for julia her parents were in tow  for her all through the parade .Julia was happy to do it because she liked to dance.
as Marco Lira who is the president  felt his child had all the right ingredients and the seriousness to be the Drum Corps queen.
The portrayal had a sensitive side as the queen's traditional role in Rio's Carnival was that of a sex muse.Besides unlike other participants who wore scanty outfits Julia had worn an outfit fit for any child of her age  was the view of some members within the Viradouro group.

The carnival is the first since Rio was named as host of the 2016 Olympics and city officials have been working hard to show it can safely stage major events.
The Youngest drum corps queen was set by 7year old Julia Lira at Rio De Janerio,Brazil on February 16,2010.
