São Paulo

Sometimes I find myself daydreaming about that famous day where , far from everyone and transported by…

Nestled in the heart of chic Sao Paulo, in a neighborhood called Jardins the legendary bookstore, Livraria da Vila was designed in 2003 by internationally renowned Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld. Like Gerorge Whitman ‘s Shakespeare & Company in Paris, Samuel Seibel in Sao Paulo,

Every inch of this street art landmark is covered with graffiti of the finest order. Much of it is produced by artists associated with São Paulo’s urban intervention schemes, but the Beco do Batman also attracts sprayers and stencilers from all over the world. With its layers upon layers of paint, Beco do Batman is a constantly changing wonder: there’s a new surprise every day.

Having lived many years in the city of Sao Paulo, I have the privilege to have numerous friends. One of them is my dear friend the Brazilian architect, urbanist, interior designer and Art Curator Joao Mansur.

Part of my plan for weight loss is an emergency coconut water diet to detox, and I have immediately called a clinic that does miracles in sculpting female bodies without the traditional knives and scalpels.
