It is now time to present the 21th century`s Portuguese “Marilyn Monroe”.

I would say that Marisa Cruz is even more beautiful than Marilyn and best of all she is still alive! I have many favorite Portuguese beauties but none had the strong impact in my early adult live as she had. I supose there are a couple of Portuguese men that do not agree with me and after this hub I believe there will be few men in the world who think she is not one of the gorgeous babes in the world but those are the exception that confirms the rule.

You may ask me why on hearth I did not start this series of Portuguese beauties hubs with her!? And the answer can only be: “To prepare you for her beauty!” ;).

Born in Angola on June 27th 1974, and after 17 years she won the Miss Portugal contest and started to work as a professional fashion model. Since then she has been making fashion shows, advertising campaigns, television, cinema (“Kiss me” – a film directed by António da Cunha Telles) and she has recently open her own boutique.

After all this years I am still trying to meet Marisa and try to get her picture but unfortunately I am not having results and she is already married. So it is unlikely that I would be able to photograph her but in case I manage that I will post them here :D.
