• DJ Jesus Luz is touring Brazil again. He spinned in São José do Rio Preto on Saturday night.
• Models.com has scans of the entire meiselpic story from the December issue of Vogue Italia.
• Brazilian label Lanca Perfume flew in Coco Rocha,  Maryna Linchuk, and Anna Jagodzinska, to shoot its fall 2010 ad campaign. Pretty major for a label I had never heard about until recently.
• Chanel pre-fall highlights from Shanghai, and the movie that opened the show.

I always think magazines in this country are crazy expensive, but how can it be that Casa Vogue's listed price in USD is actually less than its price in Brazilian Reais? The price of R$13,90 on newsstands here equals approximately USD $8 according to the exchange rate, and yet the price listed in USD on the cover of the issue is of $7. I wonder how can a magazine be shipped all the way to New York, and hit newsstands there for less than what it costs in São Paulo, where it was printed. Can someone please enlighten me as to how that happens with shipping and customs on top of it? Maybe I should start paying in dollars for magazines here from now on.

• Hello Germany! Here is a preview of the latest issue of EY! Magateen, photographed by Kira Bunse. 
• Not even Lady Gaga's bottle smashing performance saved the AMAs from being the tackiest awards show so far this year (and I'm not just saying that because of Carrie Underwood's outfit). I did not watch the show until the end because of the three hour time difference in Brazil, but I learned this morning that Jennifer Lopez was not the only performer who fell on stage. 
• Was Glambert's sex-charged performance supposed to be shocking? Watch it here, and read what my friend Arjan has to say about the show last night.
• Shakira outdanced everyone. Love her.
• JakAndJil's Tommy Ton goes backstage at the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

• Preview the upcoming Dolce & Gabbana spring 2010 menswear ad campaign.
• New backstage shots of the 2010 Pirelli calendar photographed by Terry Richardson in Trancoso.
• Did you watch New Moon over the weekend? I guess pretty much everyone did considering it broke the single-day record with $72.7 million on Friday, and closed the weekend as the third largest film debut ever. I have to admit that I read all the Twilight books last January and they were fun, but not even Taylor Lautner's wet ripped abs and delts could compensate for Kristen Stewart's acting in the movie. Dakota Fanning's three minutes on screen were seriously the best part of the whole thing. I am now officially Team Jane.

• Actress Alinne Moraes posed naked for the latest cover of Rolling Stone Brazil, but her nipples were mysteriously removed from the picture. It is sort of creepy when you look at it on newsstands.
• Victoria's Secret newest angel Emanuela de Paula will have to skip tonight's VS Fashion Show because of a previous commitment with a Danish retailer. Brazilian redhead Cintia Dicker has been added to the casting. The show happens tonight in New York, and the Black Eyed Peas will be performing.
• Here is a preview of what Alessandra Ambrosio will be wearing tonight.
• Cauã Reymond taped the Christmas commercial for mass retailer C&A with Hilary Rhoda and Doutzen Kroes.
