Who was Carmen Miranda?

“The brazilian bombshell” as was known, marked the time with her way of singing, moving their hands and Ginger. Her communicable smile and outrageous outfits will always be remembered. Today, more than 50 years after his death, Carmen still is the best Braziliam symbol known in the world.

Although she was not Brazilian, Carmen was actually born in Portugal. Her family immigrated to Brazil when she was a child. An entertainer since her early days, she emerged as a popular singer and actress in Brazil during the late 1920s and early 1930s. In those days she was the most famous and beloved women in Brazil, an absolute record of selling the discs. Then Carmen was invited by the American entrepreneur Lee Schubert to embark with her band "Bando da Lua" to the United States in 1939.

When Carmen reached the port of New York, was an illustrious unknown to the American public. But just one month later, she won the Broadway and an extraordinary popularity. Her singing ability and comedic skills, her loud costumes, bubbling personality and thick accent quickly helped her become popular with the movie-going public. The success was so big that Carmen recorded her feet and hands in the hall of fame's and received a star of gold with her name on the sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard.

She performed more than 14 films from 1940 to 1953 until her untimely death in 1955 from a heart attack. Carmen represented strongly the unknown and exotic land, full of coconut trees, bananas and pineapple. She was really a symbol of the Brazilian soul and a national pride.

The influence of Carmen Miranda in fashion.
That decade was the heyday of Hollywood and Carmen Miranda, as one of the landmarks of that period. It was the first Brazilian to launch fashions, including the U.S. - the "Miranda look" which was adapted and used in the streets.

By having a short stature, wide hips and full breasts, Carmen wore the clothes to enhance her body, which was not anything special compared to the actresses of the time. The short stature was resolved with its famous platforms that left much more elegant. Embroidered skirts, blouses with flounces, shoulders out, gowns, jewelry and platforms shoes built a unique style. The success of Miranda look made all the luxury shops of Fifth Avenue in New York, replaced the creations of Dior and Chanel for their fantasies of Bahia, their shoes and turbans.

Even today many designers and celebrities seek inspiration in her style. Madonna said recently that her exotic clothes were inspired on Miranda style. So the universe of fashion, thanks to that great – “small woman” who recreated every season with her visual references. Her collection of platforms shoes and her films from the 40s inspired the avant-garde designers who develop their models with her sensuality and timeless style even now days.

São Paulo Fashion Week - Carmen Miranda tribute

São Paulo Fashion Week (SFW) is considered the most stylish Latin American fashion show. In its 26ª edition, between January 18 and 23, more than 40 designers and “griffes” presented the Brazilian trends to the autumn - winter 2009.
This edition came with “Brasileirismo” theme. It means the light and the happiness of Brazilian people represented in its various manifestations and celebrations. The joy and humor in those events reflect more than a feature of the Brazilian people, but a creative potential that often leaves its mark on catwalks. Also the week gave honor to the centennial birthday of the actress and singer Carmen Miranda, an icon of international “Brasileirismo”, who became a phenomenon in the American show business at early 1940s and 1950s. She was honored with huge billboards and exhibition of original pieces from Carmen Miranda Museum. See next article about Miranda.

The São Paulo Fashion Week is one of the most anticipated fashion events in Brazil. People are fascinated with beautiful models, such as Gisele Bündchen, fashion people, famous designers, photographers and celebrities.

In simple words what are the style shown at SFW 2009? Long and short dresses were predominant in all catwalks. Pants came with high waist and bell-bottom, like pantaloons. The black, the gray, and the pastel tones were unanimous. Designers work with geometric shapes, chess and stripes. Leather and fabric with metallic were also present. High boots and court shoe – escarpins – are trend for this winter (Brazilian). The predominant colors were wine, dark green, blue, and yellow mustard.

Other tendency for the winter is comfort. To people feel well, pants and dresses are wider and the materials used ensure that they don’t get stuck, rigid, without movement. The pieces made of woven wool, wool knitted and unbeatable sweatshirt came strong for this autumn-winter 2009, even in its traditional color, the gray-mix. The traditional clothes, blouses with a hood, with its forms extensive readings are revisited in contemporary fabrics and technology, capable of great warmth.

Some Brazilian notorious brands such as 2nd Floor, Forum, Colcci, Ellus, Forum, Iodice, Osklen, Triton, Maria Bonita, Cori, Carlota and famous fashion designers like Alexandre Herchcovitch, Fause Haten, Andre Lima, Fabia Bercsek, Isabela Capeto, Lino Villaventura, Wilson Ranieri, Samuel Cirnansck, Priscilla Darlot and Erica Ikezili among others were present at SFW 2009.

Bid for a Model Pictures

Like I promise I am publishing some helpers of ASA pictures. People that help modeling, bidding and making this fantastic event a success. All the help provide more than 260 thousand Lindens. This might be a small help for Real Life but it is a big effort for Second Life and all avatar that contributed. Unfortunately most of the helpers didn’t send me their picture on time for the post. I apologies, but I needed to post this important event right away.

I want to make especial thank to LiamL Darwin and Kram Sadofsky. Kram not only bid me but also more 12 beautiful models. He was fortunate to win 13 beautiful models during the Autism Auction.

Liam was the higher bidder. He donated more than 32,900 L!! The bid for a model fundraiser was important because it held the potential to raise a lot of money for Autism in a very short time. Mr Darwin told me he was honored to be able to be a small part in this very successful fundraiser. The models have given so much of their time, offering the 2 hour date, plus contacting friends and others to generate bids for such an important cause, he said.

First of all, Darwin was glad to be able to contribute, and honored to have played a part in making the winning model the top fundraiser in this event. Darwin bid Saffire Jaxxon and on his own words; “Saffire has a wonderful heart and when she's going to help a cause such as autism, she's always willing to go for it. She's a genuinely caring individual, and I'm honored to have been a part of her successful efforts raising funds for autism.”

I would like to thank you all for the ball party event, lovely music and interesting people. The best of the party was the fact we were having fun helping RL persons.

I am looking forward for meeting you all again soon. Thank you all for helping ASA and for sending me your nice pictures.
