The Girl From Ipanema: Marcellinha Moraes

Brazilians are the Hungarians of South America. I can only imagine it is the high index of thongs in the water or meat in the rodizio that makes our Portuguese-speaking neighbors to the south so tasty, like Marcellinha Moraes.

This bona fide girl from Ipanema upholds one Brazilian stereotype whilst shooting down a other: she waxes but is not a transsexual.

In Elegant Angel's "Brazilian Babes," Moraes sounds as come-hither as she looks, blending the rhythm of the Rio dialect with natural, tan-lined Carnaval accoutrements.

Having visited Brazil a number of times, I can honestly say that the ratio of people who look like porn stars in its major cities to people who don't is significantly higher than it is here, but that doesn't take away from Marcellinha Moraes loveliness.
