Carnaval de Brasil 2012: Party!

I have family in Brazil and I'm oozing with jealousy even more because it's thier carnival 2012. When I hear that Carnival has started I know it's about 40 days before Easter, and this year it looks spectacular. I would love to go - just to see the colours, feathers,  metallic, Portuguese and African influences would be amazing!  Who wouldn't want to go to one of the biggest carnivals in the world with the hypnotic beats of the samba drums and samba dancers in vibrant attire.

 Incredible - I can see where Victoria's Secret got their wings idea from. What do you guys think?
