It arose through a group of men dressed as women who went out by the streets of the Central Region of São Paulo.

The three brothers came from the town of Campos dos Goytacazes and lived in São Paulo since 1948.

[1] Because of a joke, alluding to two situations that raged in São Paulo at the recovery of trams and closing of brothels of the Bom Retiro district by the city, the merrymakers baptised the group in 1958 as "Block of the first moths retrieved from Bom Retiro".

In 1963, for the first time a woman paraded, a year when its members came out in clown costumes by Avenida São João.

In 1964, French François Bellot, director of Supermarket Peg Pag, where Juarez Cruz worked since 1955, requested the presence of the group to liven up a feast at his residence.
