Each year the television network Globo features a body-painted naked beauty in commercials running up to Carnaval. This 30 second spot runs at all hours of the morning, noon and night. Only-in-Brazil!

Living in Brazil I am enjoying the culture, commenting on the differences, celebrating local expressions and inviting others to enjoy all Brazil has to offer.

About Us
- Jim
- We arrived in Brazil in January, 2008 to start up a new chapter in our life together. Luiz has returned to his hometown and I've jumped into the deep end of the pool ready for anything. Let the fun begin!

The Machismo culture at it's best!!
Could you picture a painted naked man dancing? Me neither!!!
This is the one time of the year I am glad to be away from Brazil! :)
I swear wasn't this the same woman from last year? She was rather...unforgettable. It definately gets you in the spirit so I don't mind the overuse =)
Oh yeah, Jana, she is definitely the same woman. The Globeleza before her ran for many years...
Love it, Jim! We had to share on Bobo Feed with our winter-challenged friends!
Putz !! Totally naughty !! Be sure many Brazilians, including me, agree with Ray and Gil !
Ray and Gil said it all.
I appreciate that local values allow explicit breast feeding demonstrations on morning shows to teach new mothers how best to care for their infants -- but dancing painted ladies... hmmmmm
Ray - there was a Faustão show a year or so ago that DID include painted naked men (with a tuck and cover piece). I must admit - I watched the whole segment. ;-)
But of course, in terms of fair and equal - not the same dynamic.
