Its actually Carlie Fairchild's baby, but she stays (mostly)  
invisible in the process.

I strongly suspect that Carlie is the voice behind "Mango Parfait",  
but she refuses to divulge the identity or admit to being same.

Otaku ("Geek") (Mango's technical boyfriend) is semi-obviously her  
real-life boyfriend, who constantly shows up in photos surrounded by  
gadgets and wires.

Brazil is also the 'hotbed' of Orkut subscribers and activity (just
