Shake Your Tailfeather

I had to share these amazing shots from my gorgeous friend Paola's Samba dance recital on Saturday at the Heartbeat House in Atwater Village.  I'm not sure how she'll feel about me sharing these...she is wearing a sparkly thong bikini with feathers attached to her bum, after all. But anyone that can pull of that costume at this time of year when most people (re: me) are putting on their winter warmth weight should be proud, no?
