Those Brazilians sure are competitive. First, Made in Brazil hosted the 2006 Hottest Brazilian Contest, then came the Mr. Brazil face off, and we have The Hottest Brazilian tournament.

Mix Brasil and Manhunt have scoured the sex-crazed web-page's archives to find the top ten Brazilians up in the 'mo mix. Now it's up to you to decide which one comes out on top. The winning stud receives an all expenses paid trip to São Paulo pride.

So, what do you get? The satisfaction of knowing that you've helped someone pretty. And, really, isn't that what life's all about.

Head on over and cast your vote. We voted for this dude - the only one with body hair.

• Being a tranny's tough business, especially when Maryland correctional officers can't figure out where you should be jailed for faking your death.

We've just received a very excited email from the kids at Made in Brazil about tonight's Mr. Brazil competition in which a parade of men will compete to move on to the cut-throat and oh-so-compelling Mr. World Competition. Titillating indeed.

While the MIB boys picked their favorites - all of whom look suspiciously like the same person - we took a gander at the comprehensive list and after much deliberation we've chosen Thiago Baptista as our winner.

Sure, he may not be the most muscular, waxed or particularly good looking, but we're all about the underdog.

Also, we have no confirmation, but we suspect he's got balls of steel. And, really, how could he not? Let's just hope he's got the backbone to match...

We hop onto Made in Brazil whenever we need to scratch that half-naked guys from Rio itch we seem to get much too often. And each time we do, we yearn to return to that South American hotspot populated with the hottest guys South of the Equator.

Our favorite gay place in Rio is Ipanema's Farme Beach where you get to see oodles of skin in the tiniest of swimming suits. And don't think you're the first to cleverly alter the lyrics of that Tom Jobim song to the "Boy From Ipanema." We all do it. One thing to keep in mind is that muscle men here are called Barbies. That's because they're damn fine and not because they dress in high heels and sequin gowns.

You'll want to stay close to Ipanema, so book a room at the Caeasar Park Hotel.

There's a relatively small but rocking selection of gay night clubs in Rio. The Copa is a combination restaurant, club, and tea house. Le Boy is an out and out massive club swimming with beautiful people and the even celebrities. We're all about both of those things.

Architecture buffs can run around the city and check out both ancient and modern buildings. Frommers has a doable list. And of course there's that giant statue of Jesus overlooking the city that Janet Jackson climbs on top of in her "Runaway" music video. It's supposed to be famous or something.

Peak season (as well as the fabulous Carnaval) are fast approaching. For more info on Rio click here.
