Now we need to start a poll.
Although I think it's more CORe than political discussion/debate.
Adriana Lima or Alessandra Ambrosio? |

Ironically, should there be a discussion about Brazilian beauty, I wouldn't pick either of these girls mentioned as my favourite, but one of the following... (yes, I'm posting the most "safe for work" pictures I can
Luana Piovani
Mariana Ximenes
Daniele Suzuki
There are loads of other actresses who are worth mentioning, but let's not hijack this thread :D

Say, does BRIC have any real-life organization, or is it just a term to lump the 4 countries together? |
Although all these countries are part of G20, it's more of a term so these 4 countries could get some of the hype there is about their economies :D Actually, there's a special report from the BBC about them as well. |

There's nothing wrong with hijacking a thread for the right reasons. :D
That first chick (with the Italian last name) is worth doing some research on. ;) |

Considering the fact that this is not the chill-out thread, and we don't want this to be a testosterone-driven forum, I never told you that there's an "interesting" photoshoot Luana Piovani did for a Brazilian magazine named "Trip". Also, I never told that "photoshoot" is "ensaio fotográfico" in Portuguese, and that, being a celebrity, you can easily find more information on her if you look it up on google, wikipedia and imdb. :D |

Well, since we are on the topic. I really don't like the way supermodels look. They are too tall for me and the worse thing popssible for a girl is that they are too skinny. A girl needs to at least have an athletic figure for me I enjoy the fact that a women can keep up on rigorious activities and not bitch about it.
None, of the supermodels look like they are at all active.
Back on the topic.
I can't see Brazil being like the worlds superpower. But I can see them being one of the wealthiest nations in the world. But not having a favorable distribution of wealth.
And as long as the Brazilians don't have a fair distribution than things won't really be that different than they are now, |

Lira: Thank you for the educational material and link suggestions. I believe that it has increased by political knowledge and understanding of the Brazilian culture tremendously. Although I never considered myself a "fan" of Brazil, I do think I am a fan of her people, or at least her female people.
As far as the shape of the supermodel..I have no problem with it. I like tall and skinny with legs that last forever. I lucked out, my woman is nearly as tall as I am, skinny (but not anorexic) and we met at a dance club. It's the perfect combination. Oh yeah, she's smokin' (in my humble opinion). |

| If have to write a 750 word paper on a developing economy by Tuesday and I think I might just do it on Brazil now that this thread is here. If have any links to sites with Brazilian economic data handy, Lira (or any more pictures of Luana Piovani, for that matter ;)) you'd be doing me a big favour. |

I don't mind the "supermodel look" :p
Oh, and I'm happy to know the articles were useful for you, NeoPhono, ad I do agree with your opinion on fair distribution, metalgearsolid :)

hmmm... economic data? This is what I could think of:
- IBGE - Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística: As you could probably gather by its name, this is the website of the Brazilian Insitute of Geography and Statistics. This link should redirect you to the English version, which is not complete yet, but should have tons of info. As a matter of fact, IBGE is
- La Vie En Rose, avec Luana Piovani.
- Goldman Sach's predictions on Brazil, Russia, India and China: I had already posted this one, but this is just in case you missed it the first time :)
- The Moon: Luana Piovani's official website. "Lua" means "moon" in Portuguese, hence the name. I didn't find many pictures, although it was a good reference so I could find this, this and a nsfw'ish this.
- Economic History of Brazil: In case you need a historical background, Wikipedia's got this article. From what I've read, it seems to be quite accurate, although you might want to read this article, in case you want to know more about the 10 last years.
- Brazilian Central Bank: Title should be self-explicative :p
- Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: They've got some stuff about trade.
If you're looking for something more specific, PM me :) |
