Goddess of Carnival Fabia Borges relationship with Brazil´s Carnival is probably one of the oldest, amongst Carnival Muses since her mother Juju Maravilha, was a respected samba school Flag Bearer (“porta-bandeira” ) for Unidos da Tijuca Samba School. Fábia started to parade when she was 5 years old, dancing samba in the kids section of the Nilópolis based ambsa school Beija-Flor, her mother’s first Samba School. Then, Juju Maravilha was invited to Parade as Flag-Bearer for Unidos da Tijuca Samba School, and the Carnival Muse joined the traditional school from Tijuca as well.

Below, a close up of Fabia Borges:



Fábia debuted as an adult on the Sambadrome in 1996, with a carnival design costume. Once she said during that parade, she had to change herself in front of everyone, since she arrived late at the concentração – meeting point. She was positively surprised since no one was shocked, or overlooked, since everybody already respected her as a carnival professional. Fábia Borges was later invited to the Carnival Drums Queen post for the Acadêmicos da Rocinha, where she parades since 2006.

According to the Brazilian press, the Goddess of Carnival and Drum Queen Fabia Borges has been invited to pose for a mens magazine, but didn’t accept since her former husband was always very jealous. She has her divorce in 2007. Apart from her carnival profession, Fabia Borges used to be a sales manager for a company in Spain, where she lived for many years. The Carnival beauty Fabia Borges goes to the beach whenever she can and works out several hours per week to maintain her physical attributes.



Fábia once created an instant havoc within carnaval muses, when she stated "All Drums Queens hated each other.” We can surely imagine… The Brazilian model is now 28 years old, but looks far less. She has proportionate 1,68 cm, 92 cm hips, and 50 kg body and soul of pure delight! In my personal opinion Fabia is one of the most marvelous and graceful Carnival muses in Brazil! Way to go Fábia!

Goddess of Carnival Viviane Araujo´s name was linked to the Brazilian Carnival s soon as she reached Brazil ´s media lime lights. Viviane always loved Samba and started parading when she was very young in Rio´s Sambadrome, at the age of 18. As a true samba dancer Viviane, Araujo had her first chance as a true Drum Queen at Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel Samba School in 2005, where she paraded for several years.

In 2008, Araujo, Viviane paraded as Drum Queen for two Samba Schools: Salgueiro Samba School in Rio and Mancha Verde in São Paulo. Viviane Araujo 2010 will repeat this success recipe in these disputed samba parade posts. Viviane Araújo is considered one of the best samba dancers amongst all Drum Queens.

If you have a chance to go to the Salgueiro Samba Rehearsal, you will be able to testify what I say… Good luck Viviane in your two parades in 2009 Brazil Carnival.
