Our Lady's Sex Shop

I guess this is, literally, nothing more than the innocuous "Our Sex Shop." But I love the angelic figure with the halo and what it suggests, which is peculiarly Brazilian (I think).

Perhaps the most common expletive in Brasil is "Nossa!" which is an abbreviation of "Nossa Senhora," or "Our Lady," which refers to Jesus' mother. It is the used as the equivalent of "Jesus Christ!" or "What the Fuck!" in English.

Perhaps someone can tell me if "Nossa Senhora" is used as an expletive in other Latin American countries.

Here we have Nosso because it modifies "Sex Shop," (masculine), and not Nossa Senhora (feminine). Still, I like to think of this as Our Lady's Sex Shop.

If the figure with the halo isn't perfectly clear, you can go to the website which is noted on the sign to get a better view.
