Check this out guys! I told you my Uncle Shoyu was gonna rock you and you're about to see why. Well, maybe instead of "rocking you" he will "tango you", "salsa you", "merengue you", "samba you"!
Yes, these are Shoyu's many talents and guess why? There is Latin, Brazilian blood running through his veins and he's got rhythm! HOT! HOT! HOT!
He's Mama's brother, or my Grandma C's youngest child now and... he lives in Brazil, so we've never met. I hope to meet him some day.
Aunty H took a trip to Argentina this year and taught Shoyu some Tango moves which he quickly learned. They have chosen a beautiful tango song by Astor Piazzolla for this delightful routine they put together just for us. Enjoy!
I wish I could dance like him...one day...who knows...
Stay tuned for more dance moves with Shoyu!

Mama & Grandma C's weekly classes
While Grandma C is naturally crafty, Mama is definetely not. However, she thought it was going to be an amazing opportunity for Grandma to enroll in a cake decorating course since she was going to stay here for a long time. Back in Brazil, she has always made and decorated beautiful cakes for family and friends but, she wanted to learn new techniques and tricks. So, Mama also enrolled in the course, a 4 month cake decorating course, mainly to drive Grandma C to school but also to have fun and see if she could awaken the little artist in her, the little cake decorator hahahahaha. They had the same wonderful Wilton Method instructor, for the 4 modules, the sweet Doreen(Crafty DC), who always had some freebies and nice little tools to give away to her students. Classes met every Monday night and although I was left alone in the house,(those were also the nights my Aunty H, would ride with them and go to the shopping mall close to their school)I knew it was going to be only a couple of hours, so I didn't care that much; it was great to see them come back home full of enthusiasm about the new cake assignment for next class. Below are most of the cakes they made throughout their cake decorating course, a few of them were made in Brazil by Grandma alone, like the Spider Man and the Hello Kitty ones. Congrats on your lovely cakes Mama & Grandma!

Fashion Show- I'm bringing sexy back!!!
When I was 10 months old, I had my pictures displayed on a billboard in Times Square, NYC and I really loved to be on the spotlight. I know I'm not that tall so I thought I was only good for catalog/picture modeling and not tall or slim enough for the catwalk. My family and especially my Aunty H who is all into fashion convinced me I could do at least one fashion show for her 2 piece collection, one summer and one winter outfit. She didn't have the same infrastructure of her own atelier in Brazil to sew those pieces at our place, so that's why the collection was very limited. Since I had to model only 2 outfits, I accepted the invitation to go to Bryant Park and showcase My Aunty H's lovely collection. It went gangbusters and the papparazzi didn't leave me alone. I'm bringing sexy back babe! Check it out! (Note the little video I added to this slide. It's a segment of the Victoria's Secret fashion show studded with stunning models most of them from BRAZIL like Mama) Have fun with the shows!
PS: My hair looks unruly, but that's all on purpose, you know how these catwalk models look like they've just been punched in the eye or a tornado just hit their hair sometimes. They also put some sort of red eyeshadow on my eyes, really weird. That's how the fashion world is, you can't please everybody...
PS 2: If you don't like the music just click on the sound icon and it will stop playing.

Starting 07- A hell of a scare!
This particular day must have been one of the most eventful days of 2007. We're off to a good start, keep on reading.
Early January morning, my Grandpa K, Aunty H and L left the house to go shopping ( after Christmas sales, who wants to miss that? ). Well, probably my Uncle K and Grandma C for some reason didn't wanna join the others and stayed home. When the 3 of them opened the little gate in the backyard to leave, I thought I was going to go with them but they didn't let me through by shutting the gate behind them. As they were walking away from it they started waving good-bye to me: Bye Sushi! Bye!!! DON'T EVER WAVE GOOD-BYE TO ME! I felt I was missing out a great outing and somehow I manage to squish through the narrow gap in the gate, simply ran away from home and tried to catch up with the 3 of them. I had no luck, I searched all over the neighborhood and no Grandpa K, no Aunty H and no L !! Where could they be? All of a sudden I found myself in a similar backyard to mine, so I felt like home. I was there for a while and the neighbor down the street was really kind to let me play in her yard. I thought I heard my name. It was my Uncle K's voice calling me: Sushi!, Sushi! Then, all of a sudden I saw him approaching the backyard and talking to the neighbor. Next, I was in his arms being taken back home. When we got there, my Grandma C was really nervous and so was my Uncle K. They were in panic, I think. They both told me off and only told Mama when she got home from work. Then again another "telling off" session started, Oh my God why so much fuss? I could've figured out how to do it on my own, maybe it would've taken me longer. Don't they know I have a super accurate sense of smell? Anyway, I thank my Uncle K for having found me, taken me back home and saved me some time.I'm serious now you saved me Uncle K! Thanks and sorry Grandma C and Uncle K. Happy new year!
