But she has another goal in mind as well.

In preparation for Rio’s five-day Carnival blowout in February, she’s having her 42nd plastic surgery – closing in on the Guinness World Record of 47 surgical procedures held by 52-year-old American Cindy Jackson, who calls herself a “Living Doll” and now promotes her own skincare line.

“I always was vain,” Bismarchi, 36, acknowledges at the medical clinic near Rio where her plastic surgeon husband has operated on her 10 times. “And for carnival, you have to feel especially pretty.”

What is she getting done? She wants her eyes to permanently look Japanese!

Reports the AP,

Just days before Brazil’s Feb. 2-6 carnival begins, Bismarchi will have nylon wires implanted in her eyes to give them an Asian slant, in line with this year’s theme of her samba group, Porto da Pedra: the centennial of Japanese immigration to Brazil.

Bismarchi’s unabashed passion for plastic surgery has made her a celebrity in this image-mad country, where even the poor get surgical enhancements on the installment plan. Brazilians see no shame in touching up their bodies, which are routinely exposed at carnival and flaunted on the beach in thong bikinis so tiny they’re called “dental floss.”

Born poor in Rio, Bismarchi had her first cosmetic surgery in 1992 after her daughter was born. She was just 21, but said she was depressed after nursing caused her breasts to sag. So she had them lifted, adored the results, and became so fascinated with cosmetic surgery that her next two husbands were plastic surgeons.

“I put in a prosthesis and loved it. I was beautiful and sensual again,” Bismarchi said, a striking figure at 6 feet – taller in white high heels – with long blond hair flowing over her white minidress.

Carnival has a special place in Bismarchi’s career.

She first made 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,” she said. “The power of carnival is amazing.”

Nylon wires implanted in her eyes, seriously… I couldn’t make that crap up!
