Compared to the games of the last couple of days, this match will have relatively few rules. It is a fashion show (hence the bedroom). 5 points to each respective team every time a teammate "models" an article of clothing, that is, posts the clothing's proper name, pronunciation if applicable, a picture of how it is worn, and a brief history of how the piece of clothing came to be
A few rules:
No badmouthing the other team
No double posting
The clothing must be native to the teammate's own country (Brazil or Netherlands)
This match will run approximately 12 hours. At the end of the match, the winner will receive third place in the Big Brother World Cup and everyone is invited to the kitchen for a celebratory feast! grumpy

Note: Yay! Fashion theory is one of my favorite subjects! Thanks, Linda! I shall present my first clothing!  The Baiana dress is a dress that originated from the region of Bahia, normally worn on special occasions but some women still wear it on a daily basis. The dress is made of breathable fabric and has beautiful embroidery called bordado. The skirt is round and normally reaches the ankles. It is worn with a white turban, bead necklaces and a colorful, long shawl. The dress normally worn by Carmen Miranda is a modified version. grumpy |

This stylish garb is the traditional clothing of Volendam in North Holland and is what people usually associate with the Netherlands though they somehow figured out that probs less than 50 women wear this anymore for reals. The Netherlands as a whole doesn't really have a costume, each province does their own thing and apparently they dressed differently to distinguish between areas and for solidarity. It seems like most of their outfits are a mix of propriety and functionality, plus fun colors! but there seems to be some leeway with most of it because the dress would vary according to religion or status and region. www.forvo.com/word/volendam/ thats how its pronounced!

My second, everyone!  grumpy Samba costumes leave most of the body uncovered, making the wearer not get overheated. It is splendidly decorated with feathers, beads, glitter, flowers and rhinestones. The headpiece and back piece are very elaborate and were complimented with beautiful and detailed accessories such as gloves, necklaces, leg or lower-calf accents and high heel sandals or boots. This costume is normally worn during parades. |

Brazilian Jeans(Umm... can it be here? From what I've researched, it's at least two or three decades old. If there are to be no modern clothes here, at least I still have a reason.)  grumpy Brazilian jeans are a type of jeans which are skinny,low-cut and form-fitting. The most famous manufacturer of these jeans is the company Gang Rio. They are made of material referred to as 'moletom stretch'. The jeans have elasticity vertically and horizontally, allowing the material freer motion as it contours to the movements of the body. The fabric's low density results in the jeans hugging and enhancing the body. They are normally worn in casual situations.
