Special Sunday with the Brazilian Bloggers

Hello my fabulous people,

Happy Holidays in advance!!
Let's welcome Christmas time with a lot of love and great spirits.
I'm counting the days to celebrate it with my family in Brazil, but before that I must say that Christmas time starts here with my LA family. 
This past Sunday I had the honor to meet up with my favorite Brazilian Bloggers, Flavia Araujo (From Rio to LA) and Nani Bergman (LipstickCookie) at one of the best Brazilian restaurants in town, Gamela Grill, located at 7250 Canoga Ave, Canoga Park.
They have some SERIOUS churrasco(best Brazilian meat cut right in front of you from the grill -  bacon wrapped chicken · garlic beef · Picanha - hot dishes · and much more) a great variety of home made food. 
I was in heaven with all my favorite meats and dishes right in front of me and had no idea it would taste so homey! 
Wondering what's their differential?? Hum, a great chef in the kitchen of course... Ah, it's not just a chef, it happens to be the Brazilian mom whose daughter (Anna) owes the restaurant. They both were there to give us a 5 start treatment. We loved the visit. The food had a special taste that you will only find out when you come by..  
The afternoon was fun from beginning to ending. Thanks to our photographer Livia Wippich we had amazing shots to share with you guys a bit of our experience at the restaurant.
Now it's your turn to visit and eat some DELICIOUS HOME MADE BRAZILIAN FOOD!!
After all the eating, photos and talking, we arranged the make plans for our Christmas party coming up this Sunday. If you got the invitation, you are a lucky one. Be ready for some fun with the Brazilian Bloggers!!

We danced, we laughed, we posed .. I simply had a great time!!

Great Moments of the Miss Brazil USA/LA 2012

Hello my fabulous people,

November 10th was remarked by another great pageant promoted by Ariel Del Mundo. It was the day Hollywood stopped to welcome the most beautiful women in the world. The Brazilians. 13 Brazilian girls were competing for the tittle of Miss Brazil USA/LA 2012 at Colony in Hollywood. The event was a success. 
Playing amazing Brazilian hits we had Gu Fidelis - singer and song writer/ along with his band,entertaining the crowd and singing for the girls walking the stage! LUXO!
The girls seemed to be having a great time. Can you imagine being crown Miss Brazil outside of your country?? That must feel amazing!!(they confessed).
The night went crazier when the Brazilian samba dancers went on stage. OMG!! The feathers,the dance,the outfits looked so awesome! 
And after the girls came in three different outfits , it was time for results. Congratulations to our beautiful new Miss Brazil Los Angeles 2012, Ana Dornelles, who enchanted our public, stage and judges with her charm, class and elegance. 
She may not have the SUPER Brazilian curves, but she has others strength. Ana conquered her tittle by showing lots of confidence, sweetness and beauty.
I hosted the pageant along with famous Dr Robert Rey, from Dr 90210 and from Dr Hollywood shows. We both witnessed it all and thought all the girls were absolutely incredible!
This year's competition was really hard according to the judges. The team of girls were really strong and they found it really tricky to decide the best ones. 
In the end it all worked out, they picked their favorite 3 and as funny as it sounds, the girls were completely different from each other, which I guess it's a great thing.
To pass the crown to the new winner I invited Miss Brazil USA & LA 2012 Fernanda Samaia on stage.Also we had Miss Brazil USA 2010 Carol Baumgartner and Miss Brazil LA 2009 Elizandra Dutra to pass the sashes to second and third place.
Here are the results:
First place - Getting the tittle of Miss Brazil USA/LA 2012 - Ana Dornelles
Second place - Alana Campos
Third place - Bruna Andrade
