Today has been really slow and unsexy, so I figured this would be a good time to say, Hey, remember Bia and Branca?

Early this morning some other blogs were like "We did some research, and we think Bia and Branca might not be on the Brazilian Olympic team!!!"  Umm, no shit.  Sounds like the first post I wrote about them three days ago.  You know, the one where the first sentence began,

Bia and Branca Feres are not on Brazil's Olympic team this summer…

It was a pretty tough two minutes of research I did.  First I had to go to the Olympic athlete index.  Then I had to select "Brazil."  Then I saw only three synchronized swimmers on that page, and none of them were sexy twins.  So that was that.  But hey, great work, Woodward and Bernstein.  Way to blow the case wide open.  Maybe you can give us the inside scoop on where Brett Favre's gonna get traded, too.

Yesterday we met Bia and Branca Feres, the 20-year-old twins who compete on Brazil's national synchronized swimming team.  Today we take a look at their photo shoot and profile in Brazil's Paparazzo Magazine.  There's a lot to be learned about them.  For example, "Bia" is short for Beatriz.  Branca finds her computer indispensable, while Bia can't be without her cell phone (they're so different!).  I also learned that I really, really wish I spoke Portuguese.

Anyway, while you peruse the largest gallery ever compiled at With Leather, please remember that these young women are athletes first, and if you happen to find them attractive, that's okay because it raises the profile of synchronized swimming.  Really, they're just ambassadors of their sport.  Flexible Brazilian blond twin ambassadors.  My favorite kind.

(thanks, Machochip) 

Bia and Branca Feres are not on Brazil's Olympic team this summer, but they are accomplished synchronized swimmers at the national level.  The 20-year-old sisters are veterans of the Seattle Synchro club, where they swam during their tenure as foreign exchange students at Seattle's Roosevelt High School in '04-'05.  Somehow, I think I might look back on high school more fondly if there were more Brazilian twins in my memories.

Some more about Bia and Branca, from their MySpace page:

Heyyyy Guysssssss!! We are Bia and Branca from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil!! Soooooo…What should we say about usssssssssssss?? We are synchonized swimmers, we swims for the brazilian national team!!!! Thing´s that we can´t live without: *Each-other (we are best friends) *Good weather, with a lot of sun (It´s always good be tan) *Our Family and friends *Beaches (brazilian surfers are hot)lol! *Parties (nice musics to dance) *White Chocolat *Synchro Ohhhhhhhhhhh that´s enought…..

Does anyone care that they talk like snakes?  Because I don't.  These girls could swim in a pool of cobra venom filled with rattlesnakes and I'd jump in naked. (Check With Leather tomorrow for more Bia and Branca.  Until then, enjoy a nice video after the jump.)
