I had to skip the shows in São Paulo this season because of my trip to New York, but that doesn't mean that I am not going to post pictures from one of my favorite backstage areas.

It is time to vote for the hottest Brazilian of the year again. The eight finalists were selected based on their popularity here on the blog, and their exposure in the media in general throughout the past year.

From left to right, top to bottom, the nominees are Edilson Nascimento, Cauã Reymond, Alex Schultz, Miro Moreira, Marlon Teixeira, Felipe Torretta, Romulo Arantes Neto, and Carlos Freire. You can cast your vote below.

The poll closes on Sunday night, December 21st. You can vote once a day.

As I had mentioned here before, nightclub The Week will be launching its first calendar next Monday. It was shot by photographer Didio, and features 18 sizzling hot models from L’equipe Agence. To celebrate the calendar, The Week agreed to release a very exclusive picture of Victor Macedo to Made In Brazil. The picture below is featured in the supplement from the calendar containing 6 months of 2010, and you only see it here.

And here is the picture of Felipe Torretta for September which has been making the rounds in Brazilian sites and blogs.

The calendar will be available at the nightclub in Rio and São Paulo, so make sure to get a copy if you are coming to Brazil. I am also working on a way to make it available to Made In Brazil readers come January.

Nightclub The Week planned to launch a calendar last year, but it never actually happened. This year things will be different.

The nightclub has partnered with L'Equipe and will soon be releasing a 2009 calendar shot by Didio. The list of models who posed for the calendar includes Miro Moreira, Marcelo Boldrini, Ramirez Allender, Felipe Torretta, Thiago Vieira, and many others.

A part of the profits from sales of the calendar will be donated to charity. I am going to try to have a limited number of them available for purchase for those of you who are interested.
