SUMMARY:
If it's beach fashion you're going for, it's here in Ipanema. It is right in the middle of the action - there's a particular stretch which is to be found at the end of Rua Farme de Amoedo - the place to be at, if you wish to be seen and cruised!. Like a dream sequence, it Ipanema Beach near Rio de Janeiro, has flirtatious men in speedos, fine khaki sand, emerald water, and an abundance of cheap beer. It is a catwalk for countless twentysomething green-eyed, dark-skinned men in bikinis. It's a flaunt-it, all-night party zone with bronzed men playing futvolei (a popular sport much like volleyball but without hands) in the sand or on shorboards in the offshore break. Still, the main sport is definitely paquera-flirting, a fine art on a beach where gorgeous men are everywhere. Subtlety won't get you far in the land of outrageous one-liners and full-bore ogling.
