Brazilian model
Angela Bismarchi
, 36, watches her leggs in a mirror at a medical clinic in Niteroi, Brazil, Friday, Jan. 11, 2008. Bismarchi's preparation for the samba parade, the highlight of
Rio's five-day Carnival blowout next Feb. 2-5, includes her
42nd plastic surgery, bringing her closer to the Guinness world record of 47 surgical procedures, held by American
Cindy Jackson
. In her latest surgery days before the parade, Bismarchi is having
nylon wires implanted to give her eyes an oriental slant, in line with Porto da Pedra's theme this year:
the centennial of Japanese immigration to Brazil.
