I don’t care about the sincerity of a loser who doesn’t shows his face here.
She’s actually a very sweet person once you get to know her.
Iguess everyone on this site is a “loser” since they don’t show their face. You are retarded which is very sad, because your are very ugly. I feel pity of you.
80% of brazilians are descedents of portugueses, africans and native americans, some with phenotype more caucasian, others with phenotype more black, others more indigenous, but most are mestizos or pardos(mixed race). a white person can have a body like african(big ass) or a black person with european body(no ass, no tits…). Adriana Lima is the same city that me, Salvador. for me she is mulatta or parda, but 60% white, 25% black and 15% native american.
Um . . . there are plenty of Europeans who have “ass” and “tits.”
Marilyn Monroe or Liz Taylor. They were famous for their curvaceous figures.
Thats not curvy, we are speaking of Kim Kardasian nonblack curvy.
YOU CAN SEE SHE IS MIXED WITH BLACK
so when all these celebs are like the most rare mix ever what Race are they?
She’s so beautiful and seems like such a good person. And I’m not saying she’s beautiful just because she’s mixed because I think all ethnicities are beautiful!
Why does everyone like bother adding what else she is, I think she would know and those are the races she stated she is so shes Japanese, Native, African and Swiss.
