Posting has been a little slow this week since I am away on vacation, but I wanted to take the time to wish you all a happy new year, and to thank you for making this such a great year for me in terms of work. We started 2010 shooting what became the first issue of Made In Brazil Magazine, and if it weren't for your support and for all of you who purchased a copy of that issue, we would have not had the chance to do it again, and to be working on the third one already. I am very blessed that I get to do a work I love every day, and cannot thank you enough for allowing me to do it.
We are already developing lots of new features for Made In Brazil for 2011, and will also be debuting a brand new design very soon, taking all your comments this of past year into consideration.
If you happen to be in Brazil, remember to wear white tonight. Have a great new year!
With 24.4% of your votes, Mateus Verdelho was elected the hottest Brazilian of the year for the second year in a row here on Made In Brazil. Marlon Teixeira came in second with 21.3% of the votes, and Arthur Sales ranked in third with 19.7% of the votes.
I was lucky enough to work with Mateus twice this past year, and I am definitely looking forward to working with him again in 2011. View more pictures and a video of Mateus after the jump.
