So after a full week off work and a lot of bone aches and bed rest, I seem to be mostly dengue free! Went back in to get my platelets checked yesterday and my blood is fully coagulative, so no excessive bleeding for me! And work again tomorrow, but I finally feel up to it. The bad news is there won't be many outfit posts coming up for while since I was too lethargic to get out and wear them.
So in the meantime, meet part II of our sambadrome pictures - the part to be jealous of! I couldn't help as these girls whirled and twirled and pranced and danced (all very impressive in the 6-inch heels they all seem to be sporting) but WANT THEIR COSTUMES. They put the VS Angels and New Orleans' Mardi Gras Indians to shame! If Halloween weren't a fall holiday, I'd definitely head out in one of these. Who knew you could be so fabulous with so little on?!
My favorite is the first one (but I'm a sucker for rainbows - that was also my favorite part about being head of the GSA in high school (shhh!!!)). I'm also loving the total body-confidence these women have to have to wear a thong in front of tens of thousands of people. I'm certainly not sure I'd be brave enough! Which one(s) do you like best? Would you wear any of these?

The costumes look so gorgeous. They're definitely very bold and colourful but I would be afraid to wear them and be able to flaunt it like they do.

Great shots. You must have a great lens or you had some amazing seats. I have been to Carnival in Rio years and years ago and it was amazing. It goes all night, I remember the last group was coming in when the sun was coming up.
