Carnival Time for Plus Size Muse

Description:One week before Brazil's famous Carnival celebrations, Rio's samba schools are preparing for the giant party. This year, the Salguiero samba school made a ground-breaking choice by naming plus size dancer, Vania Flor, as its muse. The 27 year old was named muse after being chosen as the best dancer in the Salguiero slum. While many Brazilian women worry about their weight during this time of year, Flor says it's talent and fun that should be the center of attention during Carnival. (1:32)
