Ana Beatriz Barros was in almost every show this week, so it seems it was a smart decision to dye her hair (here she is in the Elie Saab show, I uploaded a hi-res version here). "It's not that gentlemen prefer blondes", wrote Anita Loos in her famous best seller, "it's just that we look dumber".

If only Ana Beatriz was much darker in skin tone, she would definitely be a top contender for the beautiful Miss Naomi Campbell's position as top black super model. Ana Beatriz facial features on a dark skin girl; would look so unique- so delicate. i'm wondering if such a beautiful female creature like that even exists? Probably not...but it's nice to dream. every modeling agency's dream. Scrumptous!

Jealous Anita Loos was aboard a train with her husband, along with H.L.Mencken, Douglas Fairbanks and a beautiful blonde woman.

The men, including her husband, fell over themselves to help the beautiful blonde while ignoring Anita. In her resentment she promoted the envious doctrine of the "dumb blonde" in her writings. A talented writer, she sharpened her axe quite fine and made her reputation with her jealousy.

Barros is probably the best of Brazil at the moment.

beautiful... just beautiful really.... oddly enough even though i always like ana bb it wasn't until i saw her in the recent victoria secret campaign that she really stunned me... great move on the hair dye, made the difference for me..

wonderful.. thnks again patrick..

The world must recognize this new model who rivals the elite of Brazil, yet doesn't quite have the media attention yet.Her name is Daniela Cicarelli. I ask the world to raise her on the plateu of respect she deserves in the fashion world.

Please find room in your hearts to love Daniela along with Adriana, Gisele, Ana. It's time someone else takes that same stage.

here is an article about her. If you don't speak portugese, please go ahead and learn.

She does look very Gisele-like, though the hair color is so much better.

Does anyone know the name of her colorist (Garren maybe)?
