"It was really fun, it was cool, it was beautiful," model ANA BEATRIZ BARROS says of the sizzling photo shoot for the popular issue, hitting newsstands Wednesday, February 14. "We look good. We look like Brazilians."
The water and sand-filled shoot took place at the Txai Resort in Bahia, Brazil, where friends and family joined the lovely Brazilian ladies for the nine-day shoot.
The theme was music, and the sun-kissed gals had fun playing drums and guitars while hamming it up for the camera.
The native Brazilian babes had nothing but glowing things to say about their homeland.
"What I love about Brazil is the energy, the people," ALINE NAKASHIMA says. "I love the food in Brazil. Everything is natural."
Barros agrees. "Brazil is a great country," she says. "The Brazilian colors, the Brazilian flag, the Brazilian sun -- they're beautiful."
And ANA PAULA ARAÚJO calls it a welcoming country. "It receives you with open arms," she says.
The other sexy models taking part in the swimsuit issue include RAICA OLIVEIRA, FERNANDA MOTTA, DANIELLA SARAHYBA and FERNANDA TAVARES.
