Know any cool girls in Turkey, Sao Paulo or Jakarta?

This is a random question, but I'm working on a project, and I'm looking for cutting-edge, creative women who grew up and still live in Turkey, Sao Paulo or Jakarta. They must be between 25 and 35 years old and speak English. Know anyone awesome? Thank you so much for any leads!

Update: We found all our women! Thank you so much.

  9. Does it have to be in Sao Paulo, or can it be somewhere else in Brazil (like Espirito Santo)? If only in Sao Paulo, I know a young writer... I'd love to help :]

  13. My favorite Turkish style blogger was ( handescloset.blogspot.com ) although it seems to have been deleted along with all pictures from her Chictopia account ( http://www.chictopia.com/h8nd5 ) which I was sad to see. You might still be able to contact her through Chictopia.

  26. oh my god, do i ever! That city is my hood! My best friend is witty, fun, creative and she owns her own graphic design business in Jakarta. Another great friend I used to work with used to amaze me with her courageous dedication to just being herself - trust me, you don't find a lot of hijab-wearing, klingon-speaking, bicycle-riders in a city like Jakarta. Contact me for their emails.

  30. I live in Indonesia, although not in Jakarta. There are plenty of interesting creative girls out there if you don't require her to be in Jakarta. Bali, maybe?
    Anyways, there is one exceptionally very creative girl -not a blogger, I think, a singer, living in Jakarta- that comes to mind. Her name is Agnes Monica
