The Beautiful People

giselebeautybrazilianstudy.jpgRaise your hand if you think Gisele is gorgeous. How about Adriana Lima, the Fernandas and Madonna’s Jesus? Yeah, we pretty much agree that Brazil has bestowed upon us some of the world’s most beautiful people.

So when a friend emailed us this link this morning, we found the recent study cited rather curious. According to this, Brazilians and Americans view physical beauty differently. Researchers pointed to feature position and culture as the culprit in this varying POV. Interesting, as of course cultural differences have always played a part in views on beauty.

But how does that explain the global unanimity on the aforementioned beautiful ones? Our guess: Fashion and all its trappings is its own very stand-alone culture. Just refer back to that quote of the day from this morning.

Fashionista!!

I’m vacationing on Fernando de Noronha in Brazil, and I was just hanging out on the beach yesterday - and what did I see?!

None other than Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone taking after-ceremony pictures with a small group of what looked like just relatives and close friends!

I took a few shots with my cell phone, but sorry, they’re kind of blurry - didn’t want to get caught creeping around!

Anyway, thought you’d like to be the first to know.

Models

Naomi Sans Sao Paulo

Naomi CampbellNaomi Campbell was expected in Brazil this weekend for Sao Paulo Fashion Week, but the model never made it down to South America.

The reason?

Naomi’s handlers told press it was because of her airline incident and subsequent assault conviction, which was preventing her from boarding a plane.

The curious thing?

Naomi was spotted by Style.com a few days ago on Dolce & Gabbana’s runway for their most recent Milan show.

Guess she could have taken the Chunnel?

Guess we’ll all be wearing men’s bathrobes instead of cropped jackets this Fall?

SJP Carries On

We honestly thought SJP meant what she’s been saying about leaving the Carrie character behind after SATC: The Movie, but it looks like the gig just pays too well.

She recently shot a tourism ad for São Paulo, Brazil, in which she skips around, tosses her hair and types away on her Carrie-like laptop, all while talking about the best shopping in the city’s largest department store.

The best line? “Thank God there’s a gym, so you can fit into all those clothes.”

She was reportedly paid $600,000 for the short.
