Angela Bismarchi, 36, smiles at a medical clinic in Niteroi, Brazil, as her surgeon, not pictured, explains her how nylon wires will be implanted to give her eyes an oriental slant Friday, Jan. 11, 2008. Bismarchi's preparation for the samba parade, the highlight of Rio's five-day Carnival blowout next Feb. 2-5, includes her 42nd plastic surgery, bringing her closer to the Guinness world record of 47 surgical procedures, held by American Cindy Jackson. In her latest surgery days before the parade, Bismarchi is having nylon wires implanted to give her eyes an oriental slant, in line with Porto da Pedra's theme this year: the centennial of Japanese immigration to Brazil.
