I think she's beautiful. But I agree that in the pictures she's thinner she is looking very strange. . . it's a pity that nowadays people are so crazy about getting thin.

In Brazil, everybody is concerned about weight. Women do everything to get thiner and thiner. . . but curiously, most men seem to prefer ladies with more "substance"


Agree Exclamation

Getting thiner and having a big breast obsess women Twisted Evil Twisted Evil


In Brazil girls are more obsessed about their bottom than their b r e a s t s, since men care more about the former (it's not that Brazilian men do not care for big b r e a s t s; but they would rather date a girl with a big bottom and small b r e a s t s than a girl with big b r e a s t s and no bottom). It's probably a "heritage" of our African roots. . . .

By the way, I didn't know the word b r e a s t was considered inappropriate. Doctors talk about "b r e a s t cancer", "b r e a s t surgery", etc. What is the matter with that?

Another doubt: it seems that "b u t t" is a dirty word, but "b o t t o m" is not. Is it right?

I don't see why the foul language blocker would block the word B-reast either! and I don't think butt is a bad word. Maybe a-ss would be a bad word.

The crazy foul language blocker blocks the word b-reast, not boobs, that's weird. if b-reasts are dirty, then we women have a pair of dirty things on our chests. dose that make sense?

No way is the word b-breast dirty. I love it! Every time I hear it; I think how fantastic they are.

When I hear the word 'boobs', my mind is getting filthy and joking is starting.

Boob seems an offsenive word. I never hear any anchors or reportes say it. I heard it a lot on comedy or violent movies. One more thing, I never hear in public television.
