    RIO DE JANEIRO -- Rio closed its main fashion event of the year with less attention to the clothes than the model -- a transgendered actress.

    Patricia Araujo received a standing ovation after parading along the runway for the Complexo B brand late Friday to end the weeklong event in a city that delights in shocking the prudish with each year's Carnival celebration.
