Arguably, the greatest icon of the Brasilian 'beauty industry', is the bikini.

Unfortunately, the dumping of Chinese bikinis on the Brasilian market has destroyed much of the indigenous industry.

There are exceptions, in the case of treatment of an obvious deformity or injury, but most of the women (and men) who pay for cosmetic surgery usually end up looking repulsive. It's a symptom of a narcissistic personality disorder and a sick and degenerate society.

I must be an exception. I do not suffer from a narcissistic personality disorder and am not the product of a sick and degenerate society, but I no longer have big bags (dog's bollocks) under the eyes, so children no longer run away screaming for their mothers ;)

They have cheap things , we have style and the brands.
It's a common sight bikini's shops here in Rio with semi-industrial (?) production and their own brand. In most of the cases chinese products are for the lower classes.

New design, better materials, not all products have their brand stamped.
You can say that the chinese can copy, but than they will be two steps behind.

Brazilian and Argie gils are both pretty hot in my limited experience, and in pretty distinctive different ways...
