A certain Mr. Cranky Pants (speaking in the first person plural--King David?) has protested against the Faux Carioca´s use of the third person. This is a fair objection. The problem with the blog and contemporary popular culture in general is the emphasis on confession. Writing in the first person carries a whiff of the confessional that gives the FC gas (but what doesn´t?). She needs to maintain her analytical distance from herself for fear of falling down the rabbit hole of Too Much Information. Confessions will be reserved for face-to-face encounters and then King David will be sorry.

"The average beachgoer in Rio is better looking than the average Midwesterner." Whaaaat???! You got your Caipirinha glasses on? :-)
Here's a question: what are Brazilians listening to these days? I only seem to hear about folks on the jazzier end, like Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Joao Gilberto, Eliane Elias, Bebel Gilberto, etc. Do Brazilians listen to that stuff, or are the aboved named artists just the David Hasselhoffs of brazilian music?
