[QUOTE=Ryjerrob]What's up with having a star tatoo? Does it mean something or just a basic design? I see all these girls with them on their shoulders.

I mean you are in Rio for an extended period, right? You speak portuguese and know several GDP & non-GDP. Why don't you ask them and report back to us what it means? You make report after report, but IMHO most add little insight or your posts lack any real depth. It's as if you post without any forethought. You just wake up with a thought and post it. I am not flaming you, I am simply speaking the true as I see it.

I will take you up on that offer. Perhaps all your posts are an attempt to become a moderator on this board. Seems on the Help board you only talk to yourself. Small wonder. I think Jackson should give you your own section here. Just my opinion.

Your opinion seems to be irrelevant. I don't require my own section nor am I attempting to be a moderator. If you have a problem with my post don't read them. Get over it already............
[QUOTE=Sangue Bon]There was a place in Ipanema called Hippopotamus that is now Barronetti, I went there all the time.[/QUOTE]
Caligula on Praca da Paz in Ipanema was great also. I've had lofty scores there.
It was one of glamest and trendiest club in Rio in the early 90s.

ryjer[/QUOTE]I have been living in the IronbBound section in NJ, which consist of 40% of the Brazilian population in the USA, so I asked some of my neighbors about the star tattoo, and this is what I have to report. The star tattoo does signify that you where a GDP or came from a less than desirable way of life, favela or poverty. That is the perception of a star tattoo. According to most Brazilians, no educated or well to do Brazilera would ever place a tattoo of a star on her body or place a tattoo on her body period, that was the general consensus among the Brazilian people.

Your explanation was funny. :D
I don't judge you as I recall that you wrote in an earlier post that you have never been to Brazil.
Gisele Bündchen, brazilian model. The highest paid model in the world. Is she a poor favelada girl that works as a GP? Não senhor. Check out her tattoo on her wrist...

Kelly Key is a famous brazilian singer. She has 3 stars tattooed so I guess that means that she's been wh****g a lot? Funny though is that her background is certainly not from a favela and you can propably say that she's quite well-off.

Stars could mean the southern cross, 5 star girl etc.
[QUOTE=Exec Talent]I hope this information helps someone.
I am lucky in that I do not have to be anywhere at any certain time. As a result, I often pay airline change fees. Recently I made a change to my travel from Rio to the US. In addition to the outrageous $250 change fee three separate US phone agents wanted to charge me over $350 because of a fare increase.
Wrong answer. The right answer is if the same class of service is available there is no additional charge, just the change fee. Finally got through to a supervisor who apologized and made the change.
I know there are a lot of airline employees who frequent this site, but as a frequent flier I will tell you that lately more times than not, airline employees on the ground get it wrong. Those in the air usually are great.[/QUOTE]Hi Exec,
Working in the industry I have to agree with your experience. The main reason for this lack of competance is that more and more airliners start with handling agents instead of own employes. The consquence of this is lower salary and frequent change of handling agents (airlines want the lowest price). This means that a much higher turnover of staff and therefore less competance. In good old days people often started working for an airliner and due to the status, not to bad salary and of course benefits they stayed there until they retired. So guys. Be careful and do like Exec. Double and tripple check the price.

Obviously your brazilian neighbours were all bullsh****ng you.
Anyway, it's important that our forum members don't start believing that brazilian girls with star tattoos are lowclass prostitutes.
P.S To me it doesn't sound like the same thing when somebody writes "According to most Brazilians" and "I asked a few Brazilians". Yes, the English language is very tricky.

I have asked a few people here in Brazil, but they say it's just a tattoo, and the significance is to the owner. I was never really sure until now. I appreciate your attempt to help me understand though.

Hitmanm3,
May I suggest that you quit while you are behind. You said that 40% of Brazilians in the US live in Ironbound. I asked you by PM for the source of your information. You did not reply.
The other day, Sperto asserted that 30% of the population in Copacabana was old. I asked him for support and he sent me two links.
My purpose is not to challenge either of you but to know the truth for possible future business decisions. Sperto was able to backup his statement, you were not. Further, Sperto consistently has provided members of this forum with accurate information from firsthand expereinces in Brazil. Can the same be said of you?
In the case of the star tattoo, I think he just doesn't want someone to spy one and go up to a girl and ask her how much for the hour. In other words, he was just trying to help. He IS an expert on Brazil, he doesn't have to prove it on this forum.
