Graffiti in Rio - Santa Teresa






I received these great pictures from a reader in Barcelona, that was in Rio a while back, and shot these cool graffiti in the Santa Teresa neighborhood, in Rio. I love how the design blends into the decaying wall it was painted on. The sunlight gives it a great washed-out effect that only enhances the lavenders & pastels in the Sugar Loaf design.




This is is simply genius!! She tells me that nowadays he is sporting a pair of briefs and no longer has his manhood going commando... His friendly, unmenacing face makes his erect wee-wee looks very cute! Wonder how long the neighbors allowed such risque artwork to go untouched...? Kudos!


Thank you so much Lindsay & Ruby! I love being surprised by reader's suggestions and comments. Keep it up!

Carioca Corner Store - Santa Teresa



This quitanda was found in the charming carioca neighborhood of Santa Teresa. Decorated with typical Portuguese style tiles this page from the past evokes sweet childhood memories from good old days. Brooms, buckets, bananas & booze all under the same roof. Love it!
