What's Been Said

  • “I found this picture of my mother at Castel in Paris in 1971 in which she looked so gorgeous with long blonde locks and her black off-the-shoulder dress. She completely embodies the spirit of Abaeté with her Brazilian sensuality, French femininity and, most of all, her gorgeous smile.”
