...

What they find, however, is still a little different from the big four of New York, London, Milan and Paris. A film made by Vice, as part of its Fashion Week Internationale series, goes behind the scenes of the hype. Host Charlet Duboc finds transgender models as a matter of course, tensions around race and a disconnect between the lean catwalk silhouette and the curvy body type fetishised in the baile funk scene.

A few years back, there were some on FR who insisted on posting posterior photos of thong-clad Brazilians.

I engaged these posters in a quarrel, insisting that they were posting pictures of young men's behinds and they were likely homosexuals.

Actually, I wanted to shame them into ceasing the soft-core porn on a political site. There are plenty of places already to look at that kind of stuff.

But you really could not tell the sexes apart with just a thong shot, with someone very young, and even men are depilating themselves these days. (look it up)

No need. The haute couture runway models have been looking like skinny boys for some time.

It’s sick. Women who are at the most beautiful time of their life are emaciated, not allowed to smile, their skin and lips are muted so they look dead, and their hair is plastered to their head. That’s what was in the fashion coverage of the WSJ just this week.

I used to know someone in the industry back in the 80s. The models were referred to as clothes hangers, and treated as such.

Sick.

The people who design the fashions really like 14-year-old boys. They go looking for women who have that appearance, and they put dresses on them.

It's all sick.

Now I know how the SS got Brazilian Hookers at such a lowball price.

In Brazil, they were charging $10. The SS said "Nein!" and got a lower price.

Oh. Were you commenting on the other SS?

Vou a chorar...

I know there are still real men and women in Brasil, but they have been corrupted as well.

GOOD!

models are stupid anyway. I’m glad to see this. Glad to see that entire profession a complete joke. The sooner it happens here the better. In fact, I can’t wait for the queers to take over the miss america contest.

This seems strange, you’d think waif-like transgenders wouldn’t have the upper body strength to be baggage handlers.

My FRiends, I have Jewish Brasilian friends. Their parents escaped the NAZIs to settle in Rio. Brasil was an allie during WWII and cooperated with the US. It was Argentina that betrayed humanity.

The Jewish Brasileira was a blonde who worked at Hooters. I still have the shirt. ; )

I met an Arab at the gold market in Rio one day. He told me at lunch the Jews and the Arabs samba together. He saw them as partners, not enemies. It was very refreshing. This guy may have been the exception to the rule, but just to hear that from his own mouth...

L'Chaim, meus amigos!

According to my Brazilian wife, the Portuguese word used in Brazil to describe such transsexuals is: Travesty, no translation required.

I dare say that most FReepers are able to ken the import of your dictum without the contingency of an erudite lexicon.

Even the "little shavers."

The women got it, along with anyone who was in the military and bunked along side certain ethnic groups.

There are those whose skin and hair texture does not lend itself to traditional shaving. Hence, products such as these:
