It’s opening day in São Paulo, Brazil for Supermodel of the World. The girls arrived and were greeted poolside with Havianas sandals — when in Brasil… .
Here are some snapshots from around the hotel. This place is buzzing!

The sun finally came out in São Paulo for this second day of Supermodel of the World. It was an early start to a long day in which the finalists were measured, “Polaroided,” and finally test photographed. There’s a video crew on hand interviewing the girls for a making of Supermodel of the World video. Needless to say the second day of Supermodel of the World has been eventful.

All of the contestants are already posted on the website! 37 girls will compete for the title I heard some countries weren't able to send their delegates because they can't get in Brazil, Visa problems I guess

 

[Leeroi]

Such a small list. Where's all the East Asian countries at? All I see is Philippines and Malaysia. This pool of girls look so boring. I guess they're going to have to rely on stage lighting and costumes to make them look more interesting.

I think they should have chosen contestants a few months earlier to deal with visa problems.

Anywho, that Bruna from Brazil has a fantastic figure.

It's a small list compare to the previous years...they usually have atleast 40 girls. I agree about the East Asian countries, it's surprising not see any delegate from Korea, China, India or even Japan. However, I disagree that they look boring, maybe some but not all

Today they had walking lessons and time for shopping.

Chat from Philippines is really beautiful. And her legs look long. Very pretty face as well, but I wonder if it can translate well into HF. I hope she gets a good placing.

 

[Teja]

So today is the big day. Anyone knows if there's gonna be a live streaming somewhere on the internet?

 

[lanvinray]

^ Today? The finale is on Thursday, not Wednesday

 

[Teja]

Really? Slovenian competitor updated her status on Facebook in which she said that today is the judging day.

 

[lanvinray]

^ Really? I read on several sources it's on Thursday, but I don't know; maybe she meant the judging panel will assess them, then the finals the next day? We'll see...Thanks for the updates again Teja

 

[lanvinray]

In case you didn't notice guys, Kosovo is not on the official contestants list anymore...that brings down the numbers to 36! oh my, I wish more countries participated
