The Brazilian VIP
Is nothing new that brazilians have an inferiority complex, that it comes in many forms and flavors. One of them is to be a VIP to feel better about ourselves, that we are not part of the middle class filthiness. In here we have a VIP structure for any service that you can think of, even colleges. Yes, colleges. The new wave of brazilians sees college as a service.
Today I tried to watch a David Lynch presentation at FAAP, the most luxurious college in Brazil. The only one that could afford Mr. Lynch's presence. The majority of their students are girls using 5 inches spike heels on daily basis; over-dressed for the night even in monday morning.
the questionable FAAP's wedding cake architecture...
...just like the new behemoth mall for the ultra-rich that just opened with Sarah Jessica Parker promoting it...
...or the well-known Daslú temple store, right next to Coliseu, one of the many favelas. An unapologetic display of immense economic inequality in my city.
And why, oh my, all those designs resembles Albert Speer's so much?
.
Only in Brazil to give tax exemptions to colleges that behave like Taj resort palaces.
