Garota Verao (translation: “Summer Girl”) is the annual beauty contest held every summer in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. Past winners have gone on to become Miss Brazil, Miss Universe, or Miss Earth, so you know the talent is Grade A. Hey, if you can put up with the random muggings at knifepoint and hookers harassing you for dough at clubs, we highly suggest moving to Brazil. In the meantime, take a look at pics from the pageant after the jump.
