Old age
I know I am.
All I can say is bring it on.
You know why?
It is because I have realised that now there are twice as many attractive women as before!
When I was between the ages of 0 and 25, anything older than 22 was old and saggy and not very good looking! But I have since realised that it isn't so! Now at the grand old age of 27, yes 27, I now know that the older lady is beautiful!
But the bonus part of it all is there are still the beautiful young-uns!
Ok, I need to tidy this all up a bit. I am not about to go and find myself a glamourous granny or anything (although Suzi is 30), but all I am saying is that after having looked a bit further than the superfit 18 year olds (which I will always love), there is a reason all of my relationships didn't work...
Yeah, they were smart. I was never a fan of the dizzy birds. Yeah, they had great personalities and yes they were fit... but they were also still kids at heart. I mean ok, I am still a kid at heart.
but now i am a kid with... um, actually very few responsibilities, except for myself. Which is all good with me.
So to sum up...
Beautiful women are beautiful...
If you are one of them, keep it up!
If not...
um... I don't wanna be rude!
Apologies for the poor everything in this blog, I am tired and wanna go to bed, but I need to do the washing up before I sleep... (doe's that count as responsibility?)

Brazilians Part II
I left off at...
A book I read soon after I arrived in Rio de Janeiro gave possibly the best definition possible.
The book is called "How To Be A Carioca The alternative Guide for the Tourist in Rio,
by Priscilla Ann Goslin (not the most Carioca of names) a woman who moved to Rio as a child. In the book Priscilla makes very good observations about the "Carioca" that even my Carioca friends have had to have a good laugh at!
Anyway, to make a short story longer and in case you don't know, a Carioca is a native of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The nickname was given by the Tupi-Guarani Indians to the first white men who came to live in Rio de Janeiro: CARI (white man) + OCA (home).
Ok, so this is not a book review, but I like to give a bit of background to what the hell I am going on about, otherwise I mmay as well make this blog two lines long!
tanga ['tun gah]: tiny triangular pieces of material usually held together with strings. Worn by Carioca women as a bikini on the beach.
In fact, if you look back at the books cover picture you can see an illustration of what I am talking about!
Anyway, again as I was saying in the last blog...
If you look back at the beach you will see another beautiful sight too.
... to be continued
And continue we shall...
I had always heard that in Brazil the women wear small bikinis and more or less I didn't doubt it. But my god...
That first day walking along the beach, I stood on a dying wasp and it stung me in the sole of my foot... I am not gonna lie and say it wasn't too bad, because it fucking hurt! So I decided to have a little sit down and whine to myself about my sore foot.
I had probably only been walking for about 2 minutes and I had been so enamoured by the skyline that I had neglected to really look at the people around me. But while i was sat there rubbing my tootsies, I looked over my shoulder...
and there was a bikini...
well, there was some of the bikini...
the rest had been gobbled by some beautiful monster!
In fact the vast majority of that bikini was internalised by the wearer I think!
But I remember bikinis from my holidays to Greece and France... the ones that cover the arse! Here they are after as much exposure as possible.
I have a little theory that the reason the bikinis here are so small is because unlike the beaches in Greece and France where almost every girl has her tits out
(which I do not complain about), here it is illegal. So as a compromise, someone decided to make sure that these bikinis are as miniscule as possible, to maximise sun exposure.My foot soon stopped hurting and I decided to go for a bit more of a walk. (After what I had just seen I probably should've taken a quick dip in the sea to calm down!) And it was whilst I was continuing my promenade along the beach that I realised something else about Brazilian women and the tanga...
I thought that the super tiny trinangles were only reserved for the super, fit bodied, young ladies on the beach...
This I have in fact found to be not exactly right.
The tanga is universal... I'm not gonna say one size fits all, but...
The fatties wear them too!

We even had one of the girls we worked with interested in being the "star"! I think it was the offer of free cigarettes (and a big cut of the profits).
Anyway, I thought I would share this with you all. Enjoy!
