Yeah, it...I have freckles. It's hot. I swear! <br /><br />Yeah, it is totally mocking the rednecks. Mr. Rant refuses to say that. He says it's lightly poking fun at a different lifestyle.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209527132116902328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437750058361105497.post-80039688917652067572011-06-15T18:05:04.063-03:002011-06-15T18:05:04.063-03:00Dear Gritty Poet,
The freckles are supposed t...Dear Gritty Poet,<br /><br /> The freckles are supposed to portrait Brazilians from the interior of the country, many Brazilians in the country side are of very fair skin and get freckles from working in farms and being exposed to a lot of sun, sort of like the Brazilian version of the rednecks. :)American Heart Brazilian Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049937328816904295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437750058361105497.post-58679263374062080272011-06-15T15:49:15.881-03:002011-06-15T15:49:15.881-03:00Hey Rachael,

They were showing the bizarre foods from Rio, a food feast at the sambadome and what people eat in the slums. I wonder how accurate that is.

Perhaps the people who established fake freckles as a must for Festa Junina costumes just didn't connect the dots. Get it? Connect the dots (God I'm good).<br /><br />Ok, there are exceptions (I think Julianne Moore is stunning).<br /><br />http://The Gritty Poethttp://www.grittypoet.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437750058361105497.post-24307844732898827272011-06-15T13:54:04.679-03:002011-06-15T13:54:04.679-03:00I will have to plan a festa junina trip to Paraiba...I will have to plan a festa junina trip to Paraiba!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209527132116902328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437750058361105497.post-36034972782221159352011-06-15T13:53:39.229-03:002011-06-15T13:53:39.229-03:00Gritty, I'd so sign up for that!
