CHILE:
Porn Star
Launches Election Campaign
Her real name is Maritza Gáez
Arismendi, but she's better
known as Reichell, the stage
name she adopted to become one
of the leading stars in Chile's
new erotic film industry -- and
the name under which she is
running for a seat in the lower
house of parliament in the
federal elections of December
2005.
Reichell officially announced
her candidacy in July in a
Santiago nightclub, then gave
her campaign an early start in
October with a comedy farce
staged in a local theatre,
called My Photo for Your Vote.
To enter the world of politics,
Reichell joined the ranks of the
Social Democratic Radical Party
(PRSD), an offshoot of the
Radical Party, which was founded
as a progressive liberal party
in 1861 as a challenge to the
conservative Catholic
establishment. more
