A Semana: Gay Publications, Tourism, Kaká, And Rihanna

Brazil's newest gay publication called AIMÉ has apparently already been released, but nobody I know has seen an actual issue of the magazine. So far all that has surfaced is the cover with ex-Big Brother Brazil Fernando Fernandes.

Tourism minister Marta Suplicy stated this week that the government needs to implement more gay friendly policies in order for Brazil to start attracting more gay tourists than Argentina. Unfortunately the minister did not propose any solutions to the problem other than suggesting more support to the gay pride parades which take place in São Paulo, Rio, and Salvador. Now how about trying to make the country more safe in general for tourists, then focusing on the gay agenda?

Ford and V Man began their nationwide model search at the Diesel store in Union Square in New York this week, and Models.com has caught some of the action on video.

Brazil's Next Top Model: Kaká

Soccer superstar Kaká posed for the latest issue of Brazilian RG Vogue. Since I cannot get my hands in a copy of the issue in New York, I can at least check out behind the scenes pictures of the shoot which are now available on the magazine's website.

On more Kaká news, the player presented the new adidas adiPURE soccer line to the public yesterday in Japan.

The new adiPURE line will hit stores in January, and the lid of the box of the sneakers sported by Kaká will feature a piece of advice from the player: "Only when you develop a true feeling for the ball can you really make the ball do what you want it to do."
