• Anniversary. One breast and many "boys, boys, boys": 30 years of the Sabrina Salermo scandal on New Year's Eve

  • Music Sabrina Salerno: as sexy as in the 80s but with a fuller bank account

Every year, around this time, Hugo Stuven's mobile rings and on the other side there is always a journalist (hello) who asks him for Sabrina's tit, an unforgettable television moment that he captured when he was in charge of making Super 88, the special New Year's Eve gala with which TVE welcomed the new year.

Stuven says that what disturbs him the most about this ritual is not telling the story as many times as necessary - "it

's fun and people don't get tired,

" he says, but rather that it may seem that, after having devoted himself to television for For more than 50 years, her only contribution has been to capture that blurry moment, seen and unseen, in which the Italian singer was seen a nipple in prime time.

Stuven is not to blame for anything, he was simply there and, as he explains, made

the corresponding consultations

- with Sabrina's manager and with the director of RTVE at that time, Pilar Miró - before accepting the assembly.

The passage of time only reinforces the sensation: despite the subsequent shouting of a minority, that episode reinforced the idea of

an uninhibited and free Spain

, in which sex gradually ceased to be taboo.

How important was a transalpine breast wobble on TV, when video stores were full of porn movies and it was barely two years before Dr. Ochoa began her teaching work on the mythical program Let's talk about sex?

The fact is that more than three decades have passed and

no one forgets about carelessness

.

At the end of the summer, in Seville, a group of friends who play soccer-7 leagues decided to call themselves Società Sportiva Sabrina Salerno in tribute, and the idea became so viral that it reached the incombustible diva of the late Italian disco, who gave his blessing to the team with a posing in underwear on his Instagram account.

"I am happy with this

heartfelt and sincere tribute

that comes from one of the countries that has given me great popularity: Spain!" Sabrina said.

And it is that what happened that New Year's Eve reinforced his success in Italy, although at first the issue of the tit - clearly a precedent of the nipplegate of Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake in the Superbowl of 2004 - brought him some displeasure.

Hugo Stuven explains how it was.

"In television musical numbers I liked that there were musicians behind. One person, other than

Liza Minelli,

does not fill the screen for you. Sabrina came alone. The fact is that,

even when she was not acting, she had something.

We decided that she would go out alone. , but we put an audience behind to cheer ".

Sabrina was then what is known as a

one hit wonder

,

a

one-hit

artist: her single

Boys

(Summertime Love) had hit hard in Spain in 1987, a hangover season for the italodisco that had been so popular in previous summers. .

But at the gala the chosen playback song was another, the B-side of the maxi,

Hot Girls.

"My assistant director was

Eusebio Moreno

, Chus Lampreave's husband, and he told me: this girl's breast is popping out. And I, 'but what are you saying? Don't screw me.' Indeed, I was

wearing such clothes scarce that everything was moving. It

was already late at night and we could not record anymore. I called his manager, Paolo, and showed him the video. He

said nothing was wrong

, go ahead. "

But the next day, when reviewing the footage recorded with the front camera, the chest swaying was more evident.

"I did a first live mix with the crane and the side cameras, but that shot we had was clearer. I told Eusebio not to think about mixing that shot, at least until

the lady

saw it

,

which was very feminist and still annoyed. "

But the lady, Pilar Miró,

loved

how Hugo Stuven disguised the seesaw of Sabrina by using a more discreet assembly and slowing down some parts.

"He

even suggested that we put a

repeat

R

, like they did in soccer highlights."

A VERY PROFITABLE CHEST

If that anecdote fed the bar gatherings for days, it had a more serious repercussion in Italy.

"

The image appeared in the newspapers

. The Italians considered it a slight that Sabrina showed her nipple in Spain and not in her country."

Stuven and Sabrina crossed paths years later in Switzerland, during an MTV special;

and the artist

slapped

him

in a hallway.

Her version is that no one warned her, not even Paolo, although there would be another fact to take into account:

she was 19 years old

and, it is said, at that time she shared life with a multimillionaire lover who felt so offended that he threw her out of his house.

Although, in the long run, the issue of the nipple gave wings to his career, and he

maintains a solid status as a celebrity

.

"They called him from many places," says Stuven, "in the end he did very well."

Julio Iglesias found his Bamboleo very profitable, but Sabrina's was no small feat either.
