Freak le Chick
FOUND by Julio Rafael Rocha in Sao Paulo, Brazil
I found this picture the street yesterday... I thought this chick was freaking out her enthusiasm.

Freaking out her enthusiasm. Gotta love when that happens. Makes me wish I knew a few Paulistas.

it's 1:52am and i'm sitting in a cubicle.
i think this is just beautiful. it looks like it should be an advertisement in vogue, when really it's just a pretty lady really enjoying herself in brazil

Tucker in enthusiasm
she looks like a kangaroo

Jan in the mood to dance but too uptight to do it
She's channelling Gwen Verdon.

Tucker, you're so goofy. 8-)
But honestly, I don't have anything better to say at the moment.

i hope that everyone enjoys themselves as much as this lady seems to be enjoy herself. makes life more bearable. :-)

are you blind
Life is easy to enjoy when you are on the right side of a gated community in a country where the very rich dance and laugh at the very poor who need to sniff glue to kill their pangs of hunger and where the only reason the very poor exist is because the very rich are so greedy they want to dance and laugh all the time while others starve.

SuzyQ in an insomnia induced bout of watching Jimmy Stewart movies
This woman looks EXACTLY like the girl whose grandmother owned the school where I used to take dance classes. Same face, same body, same hair. It's bizarre and TOTALLY freaking me out, but that could be the sleep deprivation talking... (oh, and I am never freaked out about the finds, but I know it is a popular feeling on here and I guess when I am tired I want to be like everyone else. Who knew?)

Please don't mock my sister. She can't help it.

She looks like she was caught mid-laugh.

This looks like a photoshoot for Vogue or Marie Claire.

It's nice to see someone displaying true joy at something. The tendancy these days is to be mediocre in everything

She's doing the bunny hop!

hotmom in your dreams
She's either mid-laugh or special. I guess it could be the bunny hop too!

I think that the camera man said something funny, and it was just too cute for her not to laugh like she's having the time of her life. The best photo's are unexpected ones.

I have a very strong desire to go to Brazil now and see if I can find spontaneous joy like this lady. And see that giant Jesus, too.

She's not happy at all. That little box with the conduit going to it on the wall is a HAIR MAGNET. She is being pulled to certain doom.

Clover in a tangle of weeds
The tiles are wet, so I think it's raining and she's running and jumping around in it because it's Brazil and the rain is warm. Also she just quit smoking and dropped her last cigarette butt on the ground and she's shaking her hands in expression of joy and freedom from addiction as she prepares to stomp the butts into metaphorical oblivion under her slippers. Then she will sweep them all up and deposit them in the appropriate receptacle. She is feeling cleansed and ready for a fresh start. Then she will join a human services organization that helps the glue-sniffing street kids on the other side of the wall.
+ September 23, 2007 11:08 AM +
Unworthy
Oh, right, Clover. Joy is definitely the feeling you get when you first quit smoking. Hahaha! What are you sniffing, Girlfriend?

Hahaha sure! I could use it today! Thanks, Clover.

Um, I'm pretty sure that lady has cerebral palsy.

Deanna in Maryland
She probably threw this photo into the street because she thought it was ugly.

And she never laughed again.
+ September 23, 2007 01:16 PM +
Clover in a tangle of weeds
Oh Deanna that is so sad. So why does it make me laugh?

Mona, your comment made me burst out laughing and now I can't stop!

I love how your comment countering the notion that this woman was caught in a moment of spontaneous joy has now caused me to actually have one!

lindsey in utah
i like this picture...
i thought she was cute.
it also made me want to go laugh and take picutres and be happy.
i picture her with a husband or boyfriend, on an exotic vacation.. and they've been lost for hours, but neither of them seem to care, cause down this road is somewhere better than they ever would have found otherwise..

i love other peoples' joy.

[i didn't want to read everyone else's comments, i knew it'd ruin it for me...]

You're all wrong. She's clearly doing the Monster Mash, and must I say, she's quite brilliant at it!

I love that the picture-taker caught this woman in the middle of a guffah!

Oh, and that she has hair like Kramer.

The first thing I thought of was in invisible piano, but I feel silly saying it now cuz everyone else already saw it too. So maybe it's the bend and snap from Leagally Blonde?
+ September 23, 2007 09:44 PM +
Clover, back in the lawn
Love, Actually. I just finished watching it (finally!) If this picture were taken in England instead of Brasil, this scene could have been from that movie.

Love is all around me, it's everywhere I go. I can feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes.

(I hope the British elect Hugh Grant as their next Prime Minister.)

Clover -- you watched it finally! Great stuff. Did you get the DVD with all the cut scenes included?
Oh yes, Hugh Grant for PM. Much better than this creepy Scot we've got now (oops, better not get political).
Have a nice Monday morning xx

oh Clover, i'm so glad you watched it... that makes me so happy.

Hugh Grant for pm.

or Emma Thompson.

Have a great Monday, all round, everyone.

clever girl in a moment of observation
So, yes, i agree that that is snow. And the street is wet. And, what is that at her feet...? More snow substance.

I think this was a freak snow storm in Brazil, brought on by a hurricane off the coast, and this woman and her cohorts ran into the street to play in it. She just threw a snowball, maybe the FIRST of her whole life. (remains of the packing of it at her feet) It hit her friend (off camera) right in the head, causing her to laugh joyously- throwing her head back, holding her hands in a funny position because they are cold and dripping from the snowball.

Desperate Cynic
When I was about 12, I was walking down the street pretending I had cerebral palsy. My friend was sitting on the curb laughing at me. A man driving by stopped, jumped out of his car, grabbed my friend by the arm and scolded him for making fun of me. I had to stay in character until he drove away or we both would have got a thrashing. Heh-heh. Close one.

I absolutely love the reckless abandon that she seems to have. I love when people laugh and just enjoy the moment and look broken.

Kudos to broken lady!
