*Never mind the Portuguese text; just whip on down to #9 there, and check out noted Twitter maven Cibelle totally rocking her Brazilectronica Tropicalista schtick. The woman basically lives in London, so this is Brazilian cultural imperialism in action. It's an offshored-popstar look, meaning rather more Brazilian than actual Brazilians.

*This woman performs in the actual no-kidding Favela Chic nightclub. Would it kill me if some huge demographic minority of women started dressing like this in the 'teens? I could live with it.
