Low brow! No no no! It is a cultural difference that Americans find hard to understand. Every year the beer company "Aguila" finds a group of girls who they parade around the country to be photographed at events wearing small bikinis. There is not one grandmother who does not dream of her granddaughter getting this job. Of course in North America it would be considered sexist but here the girls think it is an honor.
As for pageants, Miss Colombia is the biggest holiday of the year next to Christmas. Now, this is when owning a Porsche really pays off because thousands of model type girls flock to Cartagena for the pageant. I always ship the Porsche there so I can drive around very slowly. The girls always want to be photographed sitting in the car or in front of it. Having the only Porsche in the city really pays off during the pageant. It is a lot of work for me but I like to help out since most of these girls are dirt poor by our standards and could never afford a Porsche.
You are right about them being friendly as well! I can ask a girl literally 1/2 my age for her number and 90% of the time get it. If I tried that in Canada she would run to the closest panic button and have me arrested.

I noticed in Venzuela and Colombia (not so much Brazil) that they have pageants for everything....Miss Coffee, Miss Mangos, Miss Carr tires, Miss Yorky dog, Miss kitchen blender, Miss paper clips. Any excuse to have women in swim suit competition...kinda low brow events for the FHM or Playboy devotees. The more '"reputable" pageants appeared to be for the more "legitimate" college educated model types that end up on TV Shows and soaps.
The women of either country are maybe some of the friendliest I have ever met.
Sorta like a midwestern girl that wants to go out dancing 6 nights a week.
