The Scoop:
Located in what's considered the Ibiza of South America (Florianopolis or "Floripa" as the locals call it), Posh is undoubtedly Floripa's golden gem for champagne showers and model bopping. Hey Alessandra, I loved you in that Angels commercial. Shake your bunda with Brazil's high society to world-class House music as the sun peaks over the horizon.

Posh is so fcukn'gangster that they often host VIP parties on remote beaches that are only accessible via speedboat.

Best Time to Frolic:
If you don't mind a bit of rain, the high season (Jan/Feb) begins just after Christmas day and runs through the end of Carnival. The beaches are jumping with TV stars, models and the International jet-set. During this time partying is at an all time high, which also equates to tougher entry, and the beautiful people are plentiful.

Insider Tips:
Come dressed to kill with a couple of lovely ladies with you. Entry will probably be very exclusive. Depending on the night, there may be a $1500 alcohol credit for entry. To avoid this charge, get connected with one of the clubs PR people or book a room in a high end hotel that can get access for its guests. It can save you some dough. Also, brush up on your Portuguese and body language. English is spoken at a minimum.
