    There's nothing quite as much fun as a parade. Especially when there is so much beauty involved!

    I love how you view the world!

    One thing about Japan, I love all their street carnivals with all performers dressed up :)

    Looks like I went to Japan at the wrong time. No Samba Girls for me, but I did see a little of the Cherry Blossom Festival.

    Those are some beautiful outfits! However I think I would fear losing my pants if I were them. :)

    As EastCoastLife says, very pretty and sexy. We at CatSynth don't usually associate samba with Japan, but will certainly remember your photos.

    Excellent photos, as always. Don't let the Brazilians see these shots. They will be jealous.
