| The Brazilian Favelas of Rio de Janeiro are one of the most violent and dangerous slums in the world. Political raids on drug traffickers leave thousands dead every year. In the end its the women and children of these slums that are the ones who are left to suffer. A french photo-artist know only as "JR" began to give tribute to the survivors by pasting the faces of the dead on the shanties of the slum. I thought that this photo by Boston.com (see the full article here..."Scenes from Rio de Janeiro") was interesting and telling. To me it is a profound reminder of the physical and emotion destruction taking place and hopefully one that helps to stop the violence. Photo-realism isn't the only form of pop-art on the rise in Rio, fashion is also taking center stage. In addition to the Telegaleria Brazilian Jeans other designers are making their way onto the international scene. Noticing this rise in art should be noted, for its the wise woman who follows the artist. Often times the revitalization of a community starts with the influx of artists. I don't think the world needs more scientists or engineers, I think the world needs more artists, perhaps this is a sign of transition for the favelas of Brazil. Knowing that, it might surprise you that Rio de Janerio is now the 31nd most expensive city in the world to live, tied with Barcelona and Stockholm. I hope you find this perspective interesting, make sure you look at the other photos from Boston.com. Brazil will become a bigger part of all our lives, by 2014 when the country hosts the World Cup and in 2016 the Olympics. We are witness to a wonderful time as communications facilitate the fusion of our cultures in some unexpected and of course expected ways. Brazil is only one and we will share more with you and hopefully expend some horizons during this journey. Stay with us as we embrace this change and involve you into that fusion with our art, our stories and apparel. Do you have any thoughts on the new Brazil? What do you think? |
| In this article Telegaleria reviews the Vedette 505 butt lift body shaper from a technical as well as customer perspecitve. Let's face it many of us don't have as round and full derriere as we would like. In our minds somehow nature has cheated or shorted us and we have to work harder than others to get the look so many women aspire to. You can work-out, eat right and crush the Thigh Master but in the end we somehow fall a little short of that target shape. Thankfully there is a solution, one used by women for 100s of years, but recently perfected by Vedette. Because of advances in materials and thanks to the cultural acceptance of the "Faja" in Latin America for over 50 years the Colombian manufacturer has developed what we feel is the best butt lift shaper on the market. Slim and fine the 505 is not only effective, it is pretty to look at with its lace "Corto" mid-thigh and open gluteos design. The body shaper is surprisingly sheer given the compression it delivers. This is because the Vedette 505 is made from Powernet, a firm stretchy material that acts like a net and pulls you in all over with a force previously only achievable with latex. Further, Powernet is now considered an improvement over latex as it holds its strength and shape consistently through many uses and washings. If properly sized it will work to move all your hip area bumps and rolls to the gluteous areas where they will be shaped and lifted into form. Customers like the Vedette 505 and use it for multiple applications. Although some have commented it does not give good tummy control and has caused a muffin top in one comment other have raved about how it looked and made them feel. I would say the tummy control is not its strongest point, although you will get very good smoothing in the size XL and smaller (at least we did not hear muffin top complaints from those sizes). The customers and employees I talked to who wear the 505 seem to like the butt lifting characteristics and the fine shape it delivers while wearing a dress or pair of jeans. For women who want a larger more full buttocks Telegaleria is recommending they try the Vedette 505 underneath a pair of their butt lift jeans. When both are worn together the bum is lifted and what nature gave you is placed in its proper position. If you are fighting gravity, chances are gravity is going to lose this one and you will end up with a shape you have long waited for. Telegaleria reviews the products it sells from time to time. We use the information from our customers, employees and manufacturers as the basis for the review. You are encouraged to comment and provide your experiences good, bad or otherwise; because in the end no matter what is said in the article, we want our readers to benefit from what is written from all sides.

| The Widest Gap Wins Its one thing to wear a pair of really hot jeans, its another to wear a pair of really hot jeans that gives you a tight shapely figure. But its spectacular when you get all of the above with thigh gap control. What is a Thigh Gap? It's that unmentionable envious space between your inner thighs that comes from having nicely defined balanced legs; the kind that don't touch or rub at the top (see the picture). If your group of friends is like mine, there is not much discussion about our thigh gaps, just an unwritten law that says, "the one with the widest thigh gap wins". I know its crazy but its true, right? Its All in the Design Telegaleria's jeans are designed with special denim and contour stitching that squeezes you in at the thighs. This light compression is enough to give many of their customers a wider thigh gap. Depending on your build you will be able to achieve a bigger thigh gap than what you could get with a regular pair of jeans for sure. What's nice is that you don't have to give up style. Many of Telegaleria's customers buy the jeans for their International styling and consider the fit and figure enhancing features a bonus. Voluptuous Women Can Get a Thigh Gap Too For some voluptuously built women it doesn't matter how much they workout or diet they still can't get a thigh gap, nor will they want one as they possess a different kind of beauty. However, if you are one of these women and do want to get a thigh gap you may be able to achieve one by wearing a body shaper under your jeans. Whatever your build there is a safe opportunity to get the look you desire. Click here to see Telegaleria thigh gap jeans. |
| What are Butt Lift Jeans? You've seen them in ads and maybe read about them in USA Today, CNBC.com or Yahoo, but what are "Butt Lift Jeans"? Its a fair question because if they are what you think they are, you're going to want a pair; I mean who doesn't want a rounder more shapely bum. I am here to tell you they are exactly what you think they are, jeans that lift your butt and enhance your assets. This article was written with the help of Telegaleria, the largest supplier of butt lift jeans in North America. It is written to help you decide for yourself if this fashion phenomena is for you; and if so, arm you with the information you need to choose the best pair for you. The History of Butt Lift Jeans Butt Lift Jeans originated in South America. As a culture, Brazilian and Colombian women are known for their attention to beauty. For example, South American body shaping products and shapewear are demanded around the world for their quality and effectiveness. The Colombians have perfected these garments over many years and their use is very much encouraged through out South American Society. This same drive that created these beauty enhancing garments found its way into butt lift jeans. How do Butt Lift Jeans Work? Butt Lift Jeans work without padding and make use of what nature gave you. Although there are a few padded models on the market they are rare. Butt Lift Jeans use a combination of a stitched contour design, stretchy light weight denim and a specialized waist band construction. In essence the waistband holds your tummy in and acts like a stopper on the top of your tush, then the stretchy 80% cotton, 18% poly, 2% Spandex denim pulls up and out what nature gave you for a lifted rounder shaped rear end. The designs have been perfected over many years and do a fine job of putting everything in its best place. Popularity No doubt since introducing the Telegaleria Butt Lift Jeans to the US General Market about 3 years ago have these jeans grown in popularity. |

The brand cuts its denim from a special blend of cotton, poly and spandex and uses a firm waistband construction to support the lifted bum at the waist and distribute the customer's own assets in a rounder more full way. The firm waistband, taken from the latest in Brazilian jean styling, also serves to hold the tummy in for a flat lean look. Bakano also comes with more sizing options offering US size 1 through 13. Whether you want to enhance your body or get a pair of jeans in the latest International style, Telegaleria has both in every jean they sell.
