NEW YORK: Union Square
The Brazilian stunner Patricia Beck has been hanging around New York recently. It seems all top and supermodels eventually pass through the highly populated skyscraper 24 hour city at one point or another. Fortunately for RHS we were able to catch up with this beauty before she headed back South of the border. Patricia comes from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, an area originally founded by Germans (hence her last name) but largely now inhabited by descendants of Portuguese, Danish, Dutch, German, Italian and Norwegian immigrants. It’s a place that is a picture right out of bavaria with oktoberfest, lederhosen, half timbered buildings and German beer. one would be confused upon arrival as to where they were if it weren’t for portuguese being spoken.
