Samba do Avião - Tom Jobim
Minha alma canta
Vejo o Rio de Janeiro
Estou morrendo de saudades
Rio, seu mar
Praia sem fim
Rio, você foi feito pra mim
Cristo Redentor
Braços abertos sobre a Guanabara
Este samba é só porque
Rio, eu gosto de você
A morena vai sambar
Seu corpo todo balançar
Rio de sol, de céu, de mar...
My earliest memories are of Rio de Janeiro. Here is where I took my first steps, and saw my first beach... I grew up on the beaches of Copacabana, Barra da Tijuca & Ipanema; grew up seeing the Corcovado with 'Christo Redentor' at the top, the Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf), and samba. Later visits to Rio to visit my grandparents (when we moved to SP) reinforced my love for Rio, and they had a great view of the Carnaval from their apartment window.
Below is a photo shoot for Vogue Brasil (earlier this year) with my favourite Brazilian model Caroline Ribeiro in Rio de Janeiro:

Ooooh, I love that photoshoot! Sadly, I can't see the first picture, but I assume that's lovely too. I know you love those Stella McCartney platforms and they're on sale at Yoox:

So, are you normal? Bringing my toddler up in Rio now. Friends back home don't approve. Like your work x
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - Haha, funny question! I sure hope I'm normal! :) Where's 'back home'? And what area are you in Rio? I think all the bad press Rio receives makes people's perception of Rio to be worse than it is. Sure, it can be dangerous, like most big cities, but depending where you live you may be oblivious to all this, so don't worry about your friends ;)
