Move over Marie Curie, Indira Gandhi, Margret Thatcher and Angela Merkel…Greece’s Julia Alexandratou has decided to run for prime minister. Yes you heard correctly folks, Greece’s Queen of porn recently formed her own political party and according to press reports will now run in the next national elections.
Julia is a Greek socialite, media personality, glamour model, singer, actress, and pornographic actress. In 2002, at age 16, she won the beauty pageant title “Miss Young” in Greece. Four years later, she apparently won the title “Miss Greece International 2006” at the Miss Star Hellas beauty pageant.
In 2010, a controversial porn flick featuring Alexandratou was released and created controversy since she denied having knowledge that it was filmed. Later on of course she admitted that she was paid for her participation in the film. One year later she attracted even more controversy after the release of a second pornographic video
After trying out a career in music, and television entertainment, Julia now wants to be a politician and from what was announced her party political party “PANO” (or the Panhellenic Indignant and Ecologist Movement) says that it wants to be active on all political levels, because as its poster says it does not forget and does not forgive!. Julia has also said that she actually believes people will vote for her just to state their reaction to the current situation.
If she doesn’t make it to Parliament, then there is always Hollywood, or the American porn industry which is said to be her next stop if her political career is cut short!
Now before you all begin criticising Julia’s new venture, keep in mind that there are many former porn stars who later on became politicians. For instance one of the most famous porn stars-turned-politician of all time is none other than Italy’s “La Cicciolina, as well as Hungarian born Ilona Staller who was apparently elected as a member of the Italian parliament in 1987. Oh and let’s not forget porn actress Milly D’Abbraccio: who ran for a
seat in Rome’s city council in 2008 with the goal in creating a red
light area in the city full of erotic clubs and “toy shops” called ‘Love
City’.
Think this is just a “European thing”, well, think again! North America, and more specifically the US has its own stories as well. One example is Mary Carey who apparently started her porn career with Playboy TV and contested the 2003 gubernatorial elections in California as a publicity stunt. She polled 11,179 votes and came tenth in a 135 candidate race. And then we have Stormy Daniels who apparently created a media frenzy when she decided to contest the 2010 Senate election in Louisiana and run against Sen. David Vitter!!! Also, we have Melody Damayo who is better known as Mimi Miyagi, who is an exotic Filipina porn star who moved to the US when she was a child. Melody was said to have retired from the adult entertainment industry and then she unsuccessfully contested the 2006 Nevada gubernatorial elections but she lost so she decided to return to porn!
Now the world has Julia….
Note: We here at hellasfrappe believe she will fit in perfectly. Politics in this country is a b**tch anyway!
