4th March 2011.
Austrian Joe – ‘I can get us into the parade for $265USD each.. are you in?’
T, super excited – ‘Hell yeah!’
Pushing aside the immediate frightening images of my white, tan-lined arse hanging out of a glittery sequined thong, and the fact that my samba moves were still in it’s very pre-natal stages, this was Rio baby and I was going to be fake samba-shaking my very un-brazilian booty all over the parade!!!
T, suspicious – ‘Are you sure this is the REAL parade? Not some touristy Village Peoples parade ??’
