TORSOS OF THE AMAZON
PHOTOS BY ILANA BESSLER
Hey, guess what? Not all Brazilian women are supermodels with perfectly taut bubble asses from which you can bounce a quarter two feet into the air! I know, right? Shocking.
As it turns out, the Brazilian megababe constitutes only 2.764 percent of the Brazilian female population. The rest of the women there are totally normal—like yourself or your mom, girlfriend, wife, or best friend, or the lady at the deli who gets grumpy when you ask for a straw. Photographer Ilana Bessler spends her time photographing totally normal Brazilian women. They don’t have six-packs and their skin doesn’t glow like gold in the sun, but we think they look good. One of them even has the best scar we’ve ever seen.
Anyway, every human body is a special work of art and blah blah blah and here are some cool-looking Brazilian ladies who don’t make a living by showing their buns to people.

Their bodies are fine (that scar! yes!) but what about the faces? | | Anonymous, on Jun 1, 2009 wrote:
I have been to Brazil and my Snoop Dogg fantasy of ’Beautiful’ was blatantly crushed when a plethora of questionably sexual people with ’phat’ asses hit on me.
If you want to remain happily ignorant to the stereotype, don’t read this/go there. | |

I like big girls. Not in a want-to-fuck-them way but they are always good times and they can hold their booze so much better than skinny chicks. Also, it’s almost summer and they are the best partners for bellyflop contests. With girls like this, you are a shoe in for the semi-finals at least. You can probably take the whole shebang. | | Anonymous, on May 14, 2009 wrote:
my girlfriend is a brazilian supermodel... | | Anonymous, on May 14, 2009 wrote:
Even Models don’t look like models. I am a photograher for a "fashion" magazine and I have to photo shop the shit out of prety hot model bitches most dudes would pay to have them piss in your beer. YEY! Most of the "models" end up being 40% person 60% CGI. | | Anonymous, on May 14, 2009 wrote:
