The Girl From Ipanema

The other day while I boringly strolling Youtube like usually myself, I stumble into one of the America's Next Top Model video and in there they have featured one icon that I thought that already dead (silly me).... well I thought of that because she was around since my mom teenage time I guess, and she is no other than " The Girl From Ipanema" or her real name Heloisa Eneida Menezes Pinto, for you who don't know who she is well what you waiting for...... google it :P
 I mean how many of us have a song that just made for you and inspired by you and adored by millions of peoples around the world. Unless you are Marilyn Monroe well even her have to wait long after her death and Elton John will sing for you and he sang to someone else after that at his best friend funeral (lady D) but this girl still alive and have taste all the fame just because of one song.

About Heloísa Eneida Menezes Paes Pinto or now Helô Pinheiro, a fifteen-year-old girl living on Montenegro Street in the fashionable Ipanema district in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Daily, she would stroll past the popular Veloso bar-café, not just to the beach ("each day when she walks to the sea"), but in the everyday course of her life. She would sometimes enter the bar to buy cigarettes for her mother and leave to the sound of wolf-whistles. In the winter of 1962, the composers watched the girl pass by the bar, and it is easy to imagine why they noticed her—Helô was a five-foot eight-inch brunette, and she attracted the attention of many of the bar patrons. Since the song became popular, she has become a celebrity and a famous model too.

The writer of the song has describe her as "the paradigm of the young Carioca: a golden teenage girl, a mixture of flower and mermaid, full of light and grace, the sight of whom is also sad, in that she carries with her, on her route to the sea, the feeling of youth that fades, of the beauty that is not ours alone—it is a gift of life in its beautiful and melancholic constant ebb and flow."
