As summer approaches, I find myself in that familiar limbo between my Belgian present and Brazilian past. The Belgium air still carries that distinctive European chill, but beneath it, I can sense the coming warmth – a promise of long days, outdoor adventures, and the bustling energy of fairs and events that will soon dot the Belgian landscape.

For someone like me – a Brazilian pornstar navigating life in Belgium – summer isn’t just about changing weather. It’s about transformation, both literal and metaphorical. It’s about shedding the layers that have kept me warm through winter and preparing to reveal more of myself, both literally and figuratively.

The Ritual of Preparation

My preparation for summer events begins not with packing bags, but with reconnecting to my roots. Last week, I spent an entire afternoon in my cute Belgium kitchen, attempting to recreate my grandmother’s brigadeiro recipe. The process was messy – chocolate on my countertops, on my fingers, somehow even in my hair – but it was necessary.

Like my vovó always said, “Cozinhar é sentir” – to cook is to feel. As I stirred the thickening mixture, I wasn’t just making sweets; I was summoning the Brazilian heat that lives in my DNA. Each stir brought back memories of Rio summers, of carnival preparations, of the electric anticipation that precedes performance.

Wardrobe Considerations

Preparing for summer events as an adult performer presents unique challenges. My wardrobe needs to balance multiple identities: the professional, the sensual, the Brazilian, the Belgian. I’ve spent hours online and in Ghent boutiques searching for pieces that speak to all these parts of me.

Yesterday, I found it – a vibrant yellow dress that somehow captures both the brightness of a Brazilian sunrise and the elegance of Belgian design. As I tried it on, twirling in my bedroom mirror, I felt that familiar flutter of excitement. This is what summer feels like: possibility, transformation, the thrill of being seen.

Physical and Mental Preparation

Summer events require stamina, and as someone in my profession, I know the importance of being at my peak. My preparation routine has intensified:

• Morning yoga sessions that blend Brazilian movements with mindfulness practices
• Language practice switching between Portuguese, French, English and a little bit of Dutch, it’s getting better every day
• Skincare rituals that protect against both drizzle and sun
• Meditation sessions that ground me before stepping into public spaces

The Anticipation

There’s something delicious about the anticipation of summer events. The way my heart races slightly when I check my calendar, confirming dates and locations. The careful planning of travel, the selection of which toys and accessories to bring, the mental preparation for the different energies I’ll encounter.

This summer, I’ll be attending several events across Belgium and neighboring countries. Each presents an opportunity to connect, to perform, to share a piece of my Brazilian warmth with European audiences. Each is a chance to bridge the two worlds I inhabit.

Embracing Duality

Living between cultures has taught me that identity isn’t fixed – it’s fluid, changing like seasons. As I prepare for these summer events, I’m not just packing bags; I’m curating experiences, selecting which parts of myself to share with different audiences.

Sometimes, like when I found that pão de mel at the Marché du Midi, the two worlds merge unexpectedly. At other times, they remain distinctly separate, and I move between them consciously, intentionally.

Looking Forward

As summer approaches, I feel that familiar mix of excitement and nerves. The events will be demanding – physically, emotionally, mentally. But they’ll also be exhilarating, opportunities to connect, to perform, to express parts of myself that remain hidden during quieter months.

For now, the preparation continues. Each day brings new rituals, new moments of anticipation, new opportunities to honor both my Brazilian fire and my Belgian grace.

Summer is coming, and I’ll be ready – a perfect blend of sun and rain, of samba and classical music, of Brazilian warmth and European sophistication. And somewhere in that beautiful contradiction, I’ll find my truth, my performance, my home.
