The story of a street sweeper in Brazil has just changed after her stunning pictures which went viral via social media led to a series of modeling offers.
A Brazilian street sweeper named Rita Mattos is now considering switching jobs to become a model after she became an internet sensation with her stunning pictures gaining thousands of fans.
The cleaner was swamped with offers of dates and declarations of love after photos of her cleaning the streets of Rio de Janeiro began circulating on WhatsApp.
As her fame grew, the 23-year-old, tagged 'Sweeper Babe', originally ignored the attention she was receiving - accusing her new followers of discriminating against her less beautiful colleagues.
She told Brazil's Extra newspaper: "People are surprised when they see a pretty girl working as a street cleaner. They say that I could find a better job than sweeping and weeding.
"But why should street cleaners, necessarily, be ugly? There is a prejudice against them.
Rita has now gotten a modelling contract and seems to be enjoying her new life and career.
