Some might say it’s a stretch calling this some swirl, since HERCULES cover models Fred Laatsch and covermate Gracie Carvalho are both Brazilian, but we’ll fess up and admit we just wanted to highlight the very BANGIN’ Carvalho. We haven’t seen much of her before but this cover sent us searching… Pop the hood for more photos of Goodness Gracious Good Googly Moogly GRACIE!!!
We do know Gracie has modeled for Anna Sui for Target, Kenneth Cole, Express, and DKNY Jeans campaigns as well as modeling for the 2010 Pirelli calendar…

Plastic surgeons use the Brazilian body as The standard of beauty – I would like to go to a beach in Brazil to see for myself what the hoopla is about.

chaka1 3/12/10, 05:58:PM
Brazilians are the best…
Somali Ninga 3/12/10, 06:00:PM
She’s beautiful but Bossip you NEVER highlight dark-skin black models!! It’s always the lightskin ones. SMFH!!!
GTRUTH33 3/12/10, 06:01:PM
BOSSIP WHAT???????????? THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED SWIRLING DUMB A$$…..BRAZIL HAS THE MOST AFRICANS IN A COUNTRY OUTSIDE OF AFRICA…. SHE IS CLEARLY BLACK- Fred Laatsch IS WHITE- AND UNLIKE PPL IN THE DOMINICAN, PR ETC -BRAZIL HAS A VERY “FOR SURE” AFRO-BRAZILIAN COMMUNITY- (NO CONFUSING) NO DIFFERENT FROM HOW WE SEE OURSELVES IN THE US- INSTEAD THEIR SLAVE MASTERS WERE FROM PORTUGAL NOT GREAT BRITAIN.
Some Afternoon Swirl- IS THE CORRECT TITLE FOR THIS
Cynthia 3/12/10, 06:01:PM
They are both beautiful people. I like the cover it’s very sexy.
Cynthia 3/12/10, 06:03:PM
Who cares if she is black and he’s white. Join the 21st century please and get off this blacks need to stay with blacks BS.
Anyway, who is the male model? He is fine. Where can I find more info about him?
Menominee Nation 3/12/10, 06:04:PM

I hope this is a Brazilian mag. My best friend is Brazilian and she says black people are not represented in the media at all there. One of my friends was complaining that all of the Black people that get on covers here are light skin. My friend from Brazil was like, “At least they’re Black. If you looked at the Brazilian mag covers, you would think Brazil is Denmark.”
Yummy Yummy Bunny! Ladies Take Care of Yourself First! 3/12/10, 06:57:PM
Boyfriend is Brazilian. He arrived to the U.S. just a little over two years ago from Curitiba.
Yeah, and I am black, without a doubt
He is brown…as he says. But his whole family is white.
There is more of an issue of color as oppose to race
Because my boyfriend’s best friend is of definite African ancestry, is from Bahia, and speaks of how proud he is of his African ancestry, because he is built like an African football player. Yet, his friend has blue eyes and would be considered “lighskinned” in the U.S.
Any who, If you are Black American and go to Brazil you will have a HELL of A GOOD TIME
Those ladies are searching for green cards

KingJuan 3/12/10, 07:16:PM
They’re both models and he dating some white women in hollywood and She’s dating a brazilian soccer player and this is the reason many black men in the US travel here sexy women……… Rio de Janeiro is where I’m from and alot of Black men from the US stay here now been seeing them come from years We all afros mostly in brazil anyway …IF YOU TRAVEL HERE DON’T TRUST THE WHITE BRAZILIANS they’ll exploit you

It’s a nice and free place where military personals and civilian friends seeking friendship, love marriage and even more!!!!! Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.
Pimplife 3/12/10, 08:19:PM
Some might say it’s a stretch calling this some swirl, since HERCULES cover models Fred Laatsch and covermate Gracie Carvalho are both Brazilian WTF!!!!
How is that a stretch, Gabriel Union and George Bush are both American, but if they were dating that would be a swirl. Some people think the United States is the only country that slaves from Africa were taken to. By the way Brazil has one of the largest populations of Africans in the world, over 80 million black African descedants. Only 5 percent of all slaves taken during the Trans Atlantic Slave trade ended up in the United States. The rest ended up all over the Americas. It is upseting when African Americans dont realize that these other blacks in the diaspora are African decsendants just like us. Read a book!!
Word to the Wise! 3/12/10, 08:44:PM
Yea, but if you go to Brazil know that it has a high statistic of people, especially beautiful women, infected with the Aids virus. It’s sad, but true…so strap up and don’t be fooled by a pretty face. They also like to get men drunk or drug them and take their money, etc. while they are knocked out. Have a good time but don’t let your guard down.

I prefer a thicker Brazilian.
Brazilians are know for keeping the black ones out of the entertainment picture as much as possible despite there high numbers. I’m surprised by this picture.
Shaking my head real hard 3/12/10, 09:23:PM
Why would it be a stretch to call it a swirl when its a black woman with a white man on the cover?Just asking.
womens advocate 3/12/10, 10:08:PM
i was wondering why no one commented on the fact that as a man he is fully covered and not being sexually exploited…
White privilege and black sexploitation.

@womens advocate and The Hater’s Hater
Hercules mag is a men’s fashion mag so that would explain it. I don’t think race has anything to do with it. It just plain good ole fashion misogyny.
True Diva 3/12/10, 11:57:PM
The lady is black bossip! Get over it! She just happens to live in another country. They r mixed just like we r. My fiance is Cuban n he wants to get married in Rio Brazil. I can’t wait to see how beautiful it is there. I’ve never been there b4! & yes I’ve heard the aids rate r very high there….
MissLea 3/13/10, 12:08:AM
She’s really pretty, reminds me of gorgeous Somali supermodel Yasmine Warsame, they look alike…
Brazilans and East Africans are by far most exoctic looking, and beautifully distinct women on Earth!!!…I love the hair, the golden skin, features!!!
Don'tGiveAWhat 3/13/10, 12:46:AM
She’s super hot. Kind of Selita Ebanks-ish. But on that cover, I swear if you extended that chin juuuust a bit, you’d have Natalie Nunn. (ha ha)
@ Menominee Nation
Co-sign w/ “I’m Just Me…Keeping It Real Since: 1983″… TAKE. CONDOMS. (not making a statement regarding all Brazillians – just the sex industry!)
sarcasatire 3/13/10, 12:58:AM
Brazil is 52% BLACK!! or Afro-Brazilian. The only country outside of Africa with a Black majority (even though they are still treated as minorities)
I lived in Brazil for over a year and my daughters father is Brazil..he is the color of Taye Diggs and considers himself Black! This woman would be considered the Black and in Brazil, she would be proud of it!
in Bahia and the Northeast Black is beautiful and the men love African-American girls, many of which I have met while traveling. We are very popular there!
