About IPANEMA BEACH :

 

"Ipanema's girls are the reason why this beach is so full of people!

I'm married you see, so I'm kind of suffering here!"

- anonymous guy from Ipanema

 

"Ipanema's girls have a very special flavour. We've known that for a long time"

- Thiago, a 'guy from Ipanema'

 

"Rio de Janeiro is paradise. I am not apologising. Because Rio is a wonderful city"

- Hada Luz

About DANGER ON THE BEACH:

 

"It is dangerous. Its a poor city. Its a poor country - Brazil. Here you are not allowed to show you have money. You are not allowed. Its dangerous.."

- Marcela Coimbra.

 

"But that is kind of normal. Man is dangerous"

- Renata

About RELATIONSHIPS & SEX ON THE BEACH;

 

" It's not difficult to find a man in Brazil. It's difficult to find a faithful one !"

- Lisiane

 

" The boys used to say when they know a girl that they have to do the sand test. First of everything they have the test of the beach. So the first meeting is on the beach. So they look to see if they like or not. It's like in Brazil it's different - you begin naked!"

- Lenny Niemeyer

 

" If guys see a Brazilian girl, they look her up and down, as if she is easy or something. But I see girls doing much worse things in other countries. I think its because we show more of the body here. But its hot places..."

- Marcela Coimbra

About FIO DENTAL ('dental floss' bikinis)

 

 

"There is a big difference between the American body and the Brazilian body. The Americans are very lean. But Brazilian's have a big bum! So it looked awful, horrible! ".

- Regina Aragao (Rygy bikinis)

 

"The girls like it, but the men don't like it. They like to see it on somebody else - but it's not 'correct'. Its not 'chic', the boys hate it. These Brazilian guys are funny huh? Machismo brasileiros!"

- Lenny Niemeyer, (Lenny bikinis)

 

 

About TOPLESSNESS:

"It's something about mystery. The play of seduction. Because the girls use very small bikinis but show nothing. You are almost naked, but you are not naked. You go to the door but nobody will let you in".

- Beto Neves (Complex B Beachwear)

 

"We see breasts everywhere. In Carnival. So why can't we see it on the beach?"

- Marcela Coimbra

About FASHION & BRAZILIAN MODELS;

 

"Its very easy to find models in Rio, because you just go to the beach. Ipanema is the beach where all of the young people are together, and its very easy to find models there".

- Sergio Mattos (Mega Models Rio)

 

"Its not easy to find models for bikinis in Brazil. Because the market is very small. And they have to be very skinny. Very skinny. So if they have a wonderful body for bikinis, they can't work wearing clothes".

- Regina Aragao (Rygy bikinis)

 

"I think its far more beautiful to be Brazilian, to have butt, to have leg. But the whole world asks for this aesthetic (to be skinny), which I hope changes).

- Renata Ovalle Saboya

 

"The people of Rio de Janeiro are very illuminated. We tried to show that in fashion... It's like someone told you some very good news. But you can't tell anyone. Then you are getting this face, this little smile. Very Carioca! ".

- Beto Neves (Complexo B)
