Another Brazilian Birthday Party

Saturday there was another birthday party. Nauber asked if I wanted to go. I pointed out that I end up sitting there surrounded by Portuguese-speaking, and can't follow the conversations, so don't join in. Then everyone asks why I am so quiet. However, I did want to spend the evening with him, so I did go. A couple people attempted speaking English, and one lady got very excited when I said "boa noite" (good night) to her.

The birthday boy was Wanderson. He is the boyfriend of Odalia, one of the girls that Nauber works with. And he is really cute. Picture in your mind Mario Lopez with more of a skinny-muscular build and really smiling eyes.



They had a lot of the usual bite-size fried Brazilian foods that you see at all the parties, plus a ton of chocolates, strawberries and a chocolate fountain, and the typical cake (white cake with pineapple and strawberries with various types of cream - whipped, soaked, and custardy filling). A new one was a chicken cake. Seasoned shredded chicken layered with mashed potatoes and white bread, frosted with a mayonnaise based mixture, decorated with olives, potato sticks, and piped 'frosting' of that mayonnaise thing mixed with mustard. The chocolates included the usual coconut/condensed milk mixture, only these had a grape in the middle. Odd texture combination, and the flavors are a little weird together.

As is also typical, about 10, 10:30pm a couple showed up with their 4 year old and 11 month old. I saw the 11 month old at a party a couple months ago, and she already had pierced ears. Who pierces a 6-month old's ears?

Also about that time, a short cute guy showed up. I soon realized it the hottie from the gym that I have ogled for ages, spoke to once (a long time ago), and have referred to as Brazilian Porn Star. He was there with a tall fat chick, who was very white and blonde, but spoke Portuguese, and he introduced as his wife. I'm not sure if he figured out I was there 'with' Nauber, but anyone would have confirmed it if he had asked. His name is apparently Alex, and the braces are now gone. Wifey was scarfing down the chocolates (after a huge piece of cake), and trying to get him to have one, but he kept turning it down. Abs that cut glass come at a cost, you know. He didn't seem to interact with her well. I wonder if the fugly chick from the gym ended things before he could get resident status, so had to find another... (I know, how mean!) He did say he goes to the gym early now, about 6am. He also mentioned he does not go with the wife. You think it was a hint-hint??
