With Adriana Lima on maternity leave and Emanuela de Paula busy with other work commitments, Alessandra Ambrósio was the only official Brazilian angel on the runway at this week's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York. And in spite of the many casting lists  which were delivered to my mailbox this week with names like Flavia de Oliveira and Cintia Dicker, the final casting included only four girls from Brazil: Isabeli Fontana, Caroline Trentini, Ana Beatriz Barros, and former angel Izabel Goulart.  No surprises there, right?
