brazilians.

so you probably know that i have been taking private portuguese lessons for almost a year now. (and if you don't know... now you know). i just adore the language. it's so romantic and i don't know what happens to me when i hear it. i love it. luckily, i took about 5 years of spanish when i was younger and although i can barely speak it now, it has definitely helped me out with my portuguese so far.

today was brazil day in miami. food, music, entertainment... and rain. it was a complete shit storm outside. so, as a result i missed the fest. que pena!

but some of my friends that live in miami decided to tough it out and try their luck with the rain. the reason? adriana lima. no she wasn't making an appearance but, it seems that my dear sweet guy friends believe that this is what all brazilian women look like and what all non-brazilian women should look like.

the fact of the matter is, the brazilian culture is so accepting of cosmetic surgery that i think a lot of people, men and women, have fallen in love with beauty that is too ideal. true, perhaps adriana is 100% adriana... only she knows for sure...

apparently my one friend was "disgusted" after seeing what brazil day in miami had to offer and said plainly "that's not how the girls looked in brazil last week..."

newsflash: of course not... the girls you saw in rio were probably cosmetically enhanced in the nose, chin, lips, boobs, tummy, and butt areas. and hey, good for them! more power to the pretty! but, be careful boys. ask for too much and you'll never know what you are actually getting.

blonde, brunette, short, tall... the rest of us aren't so bad you know. 

 see, told ya.
