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.

• Raquel Zimmermann undresses for Mario Sorrenti and for Inez & Vinoodh in the new issue of V.
• Alessandra Ambrósio and Izabel Goulart are walking Giles Deacon in Paris (and doing a lot of shopping while they are there).
• Coldplay performed at Morumbi Stadium last night in São Paulo.
• The Gossip has confirmed its tour dates for this month in Brazil. The band is playing Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte, São Paulo, and Rio, from March 13 to March 20.
• Lorenzo Martone shoots New York fashion week.
• Mario Testino's Military Issue in the latest Vogue.
• Wanted: Naomi Campbell.
• How much do you love the fact that André Leon Talley is now on twitter?
• Network RedeTV! is rumored to be producing the first ever gay series on national TV, entitled Farme 40 Graus. It will take place in Rio of course.
• Photographer Paulo Cabral has launched a website and a blog.
• São Paulo Restaurant Week is back. The event goes on until March 14.

At Victor Glemaud, Commonwealth Utilities, and Gilded Age.

PS- Mr. Glemaud, we (heart) you for the shirtless look in the middle of the fall collections.

• Izabel Goulart works her bombshell-ness on Topher Grace in the March issue of GQ.
• New York magazine at home and play with Lorenzo Martone.
• Fashion bloggers are the new celebrities, according to WWD.
• So far these are my favorite New York fashion week backstage pictures.
• Models hit the Sambadrome on Tuesday night for samba school Porto da Pedra.
• Lady Gaga paid tribute to McQueen and won all her categories at the Brit Awards.
• Mr. Gay Brazil Thiago Silvestre won the popular vote online at the 2010 Mr. Gay Competition in Oslo this past weekend. Charl Van den Berg of South Africa won the title of Mr. Gay International.
• Best Carnival costume this year: Avatar.
• Watch a video of Banda de Ipanema on Sunday.
• Watch two boys from Chicago at the Gay Gala in Rio last night (skip to 4:45 for the best part).
• Leona Lewis' video for I Got You is out.

Brazilian newcomer Laís Ribeiro is certainly not going to be flying under the radar anymore after booking shows such as Rag & Bone, Marc Jacobs, and Marc by Marc Jacobs. She is represented in New York by Women.

I haven't been covering the fall shows in New York because of Carnival in Brazil, but I had to make an exception for Arthur Sales. Really happy to see him doing several shows in his first season in the city.
