Each year, thousands of Asians go under the knife to have their eyes reshaped to resemble Caucasian peepers, but one Brazilian model has the opposite desire; she is desperate for an oriental slant. Angela Bismarchi, 36, will undergo her 42nd surgery, making her second in the world for most plastic srugery procedures (the most is 47 by Cindy Jackson.) She’s seeking out the Asian look in order to prime her for her performance at the Rio Carnival where she will lead her own samba group. More specifically, she’s doing it to honor 2008 as the 100th year Japanese immigrants have moved to Brazil.

The 36-year-old, whose passion for plastic surgery has made her a celebrity in Brazil, said: "I always was vain. And for carnival, you have to feel especially pretty."
Bismarchi, who is 6 feet tall and promotes a lingerie collection, is married to a plastic surgeon -- he has operated on her 10 times.
She first made the headlines in 2000, when police tried to arrest her after she paraded partly nude with the Brazilian flag painted on her body.
"I became famous all over. The power of carnival is amazing," she said.
