I absolutely love the beauty of the Baianas or "Aunties" of Brazil. They are always dresses in stunning white dresses and a lot of jewelry. The origins are from slavery in Brazil, they looked after their masters' children sometimes sold delicacies to assist with the finances. After slavery, they did this for themselves, and today they are a main fixture of Brazillian (Bahian) culture. They still sell Bahian (Afro-Brazillian) food in traditional costume.
