Curves are already so last fall for New York designers, and I guess so are Brazilian girls. The shows last week were definitely not about bombshells or Victoria's Secret angels on the runway, with the exception of Alessandra Ambrósio's appearance at Marc Jacobs last Monday night.

If you are curious to know who some of the new Brazilian girls are, thank Rad Hourani for booking five of them for his spring 2011 show: Alicia Kuczman, Debora Müller, Marcélia Freesz (my favorite of the bunch), Luana Teifke, and Paula Lourenço.

As much as I love Alicia and Marcélia, the only new Brazilian girl right now I can see having a long international career is Lais Ribeiro. She walked for Donna Karan, Jason Wu, Marc by Marc Jacobs, DVF, Tommy Hilfiger, Oscar de la Renta, and more, and I am definitely looking forward to seeing her at the European shows.

Loving all the casting pictures COACD has been posting on twitter this week, especially when there are Brazilian models like Alex Cunha and Debora Müller. I really wish I could be in New York for the shows this season.

• Debora Müller is one of the top ten models to watch this season, according to New York magazine. She is in the latest issue of Vogue Italia.
• São Paulo Fashion Week's Paulo Borges met with Anna Wintour and the CFDA in New York to discuss the health (meaning thinness of course) of the models. He suggested a minimum age requirement for the shows. Here is what Doutzen Kroes, Zac Posen, and James Scully think about the subject.
• Miu Miu girl Lindsey Wixson made a pit stop in São Paulo last weekend to shoot the ad campaign for Alcaçuz.
• More pictures of Gisele Bündchen's baby.
• Another reason to love Love magazine.
• Lady Gaga and Cindy Lauper at the AmFAR Gala.
• Rihanna's new video for Rude Boy.
• "Brazilian bombshell" Lorenzo Martone will be the host at Butt magazine's Valentine's bash this Sunday.
• According to gossip site ig Gente, Jesus Luz shopped for a wedding ring at H.Stern in Rio yesterday. I highly doubt that he will be proposing to Madonna during Carnival.
• If you are on your way to Rio, pack light. This is the city's hottest summer in the past 50 years, with average temperatures about 6 degrees Celsius higher than previous summers.
• Brazilian gay cruise Freedom On Board stopped at Ilhabela last weekend for a beach party.
• Beyoncé performed for over 164,000 people in her first Brazilian tour this past week.  "Honestly, I am not saying that just because I am here, but the Brazilian audience has really been the best audience I've ever had in my career. I feel like a member of the family now, like someone that needs to come back once a year," she said in an exclusive interview to newspaper O Dia.
• On some very sad news, designer Alexander McQueen committed suicide today. It is going to be a very tragic first day of shows in New York.

From top to bottom: Alicia Kuczman, Debora Müller, And Renata Sozzi, all with Way Model Management in São Paulo. I suggest you pay very close attention to the three of them.

Brazilian Debora Müller flew a bit under the radar this season, but the newcomer walked in New York, Milan, and Paris, booking shows such as BCBG Max Azria, Rad Hourani, Herve Leger, L'Wren Scott, Moschino Cheap & Chic, Rochas, Celine, Dries Van Noten, and Miu Miu. Keep an eye on her.
