62yo women look like that in Brazil?

I think I'm gonna have to move.

Man... that song brings back a shiatload of memories from my childhood.

She may have inspired the song, but Astrud Gilberto will always be the "Girl from Ipanema" to me.

What a voice...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 
whidbey [TotalFark] 2008-01-22 03:23:39 PM  
Wow she must have really been a knockout back then...

lookin' good.

And yeah, brilliant move to let Astrud Gilberto sing the song. Breathtaking...:)

 
xanadian [TotalFark] 2008-01-22 03:32:35 PM  
holy freaking shiat.

62!? No way! (a) Who's her plastic surgeon? (b) What do they FEED them down there, anyway!? (c) Yes, even I'd hit that.

Wow. Talk about aging gracefully.

 
Megain [TotalFark] 2008-01-22 03:43:43 PM

Wow, I wasn't expecting the headline to be true. She looks amazing.

 
brap [TotalFark] 2008-01-22 04:51:51 PM  
I always pictured her with a cane or seeing-eye dog.

 
penthesilea [TotalFark] 2008-01-22 05:00:04 PM  
Damn. I'm less than half her age and I don't look that good. Guess it's time to put down the sammich, get on a stairmaster, and drink the essence of Gelflings.

 
mysticcat [TotalFark] 2008-01-22 05:13:43 PM  
I'd bossa her nova

I'd like to show how many times 37 goes into 62.
I'd show my work.

Megain: yep, she's definitely aged well ... her daughter is pretty hot too

A+ for both. Would yearn for fondly, pure and chaste, from afar.

It must be in their jeans... and I need to get in them.

After seeing that picture, I'm now writing The Daughter From Ipanema.

 
serialkittenkiller 2008-01-22 06:36:30 PM  
62?...Yes,That's in play.

 
lerxst2112 [TotalFark] 2008-01-22 06:52:29 PM  
Damn.

Just damn. I need to make a trip to Brazil if women that are 62 look like that.

 
Pontius Gandalf 2008-01-22 07:39:59 PM  
The question is, when she sways, what's it like?

It brings back a shiatload of memories from my adulthood while on hold waiting for tech support.

OldManDownDRoad 2008-01-22 09:26:27 PM  
Man, what is it with Brazilian women? Every one I've seen has been hot. Yeah, I know, someone is going to GIS some hag now, but generally they've been impressive.

 
Gangway Fathead 2008-01-22 10:37:17 PM  
Jobim rules.

FTFA: I am the first one that used the two-piece on the beach," she said, by way of explaining her unlikely path to Musedom. "But it was so big" -- the pair of bottoms, that is, which Pinheiro confirmed by showing me an old black-and-white photo of herself wearing what looked like a Sears catalogue girdle. But it hadn't hidden that body completely. You could still see writing a song to that body. And to this one, for that matter.

The inspiration fer a really cool song?

The first girl to wear a bikini on Ipanama beach?

Posed naked with her hot daughters in the Brazillian version of Playboy?

Muy Caliente!

Well, that would be 1.68 times. Better work on that stamina, buddy.

/here, have some oysters...

 
That_Bob_Guy 2008-01-23 04:00:12 AM  
Wow! Her daughter makes me want to cry!

I'd say it was time to cash in my 401(k) and move to Brazil, but after this week it looks like it's going to be Tijuana instead.

So gentle, Pontius. Soooooo gentle......

keylock71: Astrud Gilberto will always be the "Girl from Ipanema" to me.

I'll second that.

 
downtownkid 2008-01-23 08:27:12 AM  
I saw Astrud Gilberto at SOB's in NYC about ten years ago, and it was an amazing concert. Forget her age, she is such a seductive singer every man in that room and half the women would have dumped their spouse and left with her. Definitely catch her show if you can.

 
sakanagai [TotalFark] 2008-01-23 10:17:38 AM  
Does anyone have a link to Kompressor's cover?

/a true classic

 
Walker [TotalFark] 2008-01-23 10:20:22 AM  
Didn't she move to Greenland?
The B-52's told me she did.

 
bv2112 2008-01-23 10:44:05 AM  
I was born and raised in Brazil. When it comes to women, I think that on average, American women are more attractive. But a good-looking Brazilian woman is just dynamite. I didn't like my odds there, so I bailed!

 
Wyckyd Sceptre [TotalFark] 2008-01-23 12:17:35 PM  
I gotta agree with bv2112. My wife and I stayed on Punta do Arpoador, between Ipanema and Copacabana, and the good-looking Brazilian women would make even her turn her head. But it seemed most of the women's skin suffered from too many cigs and too much sun, and ended up looking like it should have laces and Mizuno stamped on it.

Yeah, I saw her in Milwaukee a few years back, and nearly died. She slunk across the stage. I couldn't believe a human could move like that. She was smoldering, and this was from 50 yards away. I can't imagine getting close to her -- I'd worry about spontaneously combusting.

Damn good singer, too. One of those shows you never forget.
