The new Erotica-themed issue of ffw Mag! is not just good, it is my favorite issue of a Brazilian fashion magazine published this year. By far.

It took me a while, but I finally found some time this afternoon to scan the editorials to share with you guys. Since the story with Ana Claudia Michels is the first one featured in the issue, I figured it should be the first one I post here. View more scans after the jump.

The Fashion Rocks festivities in Rio kicked off last night with a benefit dinner in honor of Mario Testino and Donatella Versace, who arrived at the Copacabana Palace with Brazilian actress Mariana Ximenes.

Erotica is the theme of the new issue of ffw Mag! which hits newsstands this week, and  features a steamy editorial with Ana Claudia Michels surrounded by several boys (meaning male models) in a locker room. I can't wait to get my hands on the magazine.

Btw, Ana Claudia will be presenting at Oi Fashion Rocks this Saturday in Rio, along with Alessandra Ambrósio and Caroline Trentini.

• My favorite New York shows so far this week were Alexander Wang, Altuzarra, and Prabal Gurung.
• One of my favorite twitpics by JD Ferguson for @vmagazine: Caroline Trentini at Derek Lam.
• Trentini, Lorenzo Martone, and Michael Roberts hit Carlos Miele's benefit dinner on Friday night. I am not even going to give my two cents about the designer's spring show because there is nothing to be said about it other than question myself why is he still showing at Bryant Park.
• Fashion week videos: The Rachel Zoe Project's Brad Goreski at Commonwealth Utilities, and Victoria Beckham on her spring collection.
• Ana Claudia Michels poses naked for Sebastian Faena in the new issue of VMan (you know, the one with James Franco on the cover). (NSFW)
• A first look at the 2010 Dieux Du Stade calendar.
• Credits for all of Lady Gaga's looks at the VMAs last night by Nicola Formichetti.
• Speedo break: actor Thierry Figueira at the beach in Leblon over the weekend.
• Don't stop til you get it up: Janet Jackson released a new song on her website.

Things I like about it: Ana Claudia Michels' new hair color, the fact that Ana Claudia does not look like this, and the absence of completely unforgivable typos.

Things I dislike about it: the white background yet again, the fact that Ana Claudia's hair has the texture of a broom, the placement of the text, the styling (or lack there of), and the price (R$ 14,90 or approximately US$7,50).

View the editorial with Ana Claudia Michels in t-shirt dresses after the jump. It is as uninspired as the cover.
