Hello, fashionistas! (Who, me? you might say. Yes, you!) If you’re reading this, you must have some interest–an addiction, perhaps–to fashion. Well, so do I. As Latina’s Fashion Director, I’m always on the lookout for the best items we chicas should own. So I thought, why not write about my favorite picks on Latina.com? Here […]

Okay all you Twilighters out there, what did you think of the movie? I am just about done with the fourth book from the Stephanie Meyers series, Breaking Dawn, and I am, of course, obsessed. I’m a sucker for a forbidden romance-slash-love triangle. And since I’m crazy for the book series and have been counting […]

This Sunday and rather than going to iglesia I sat in bed with Sam and watched a porno–chicas were getting downright filthy in the movie! Sam loves porn and gets off on it. What guy doesn’t? But the sight of seeing some fake, bottle blond babe moaning and groaning just doesn’t really do it […]

That is most definitely true, especially in this crapulent economy. But thankfully, there is such a thing as free Junot! Diaz, that is. The Pulitzer Prize-winning hottie (well, if nerds are your thing as they are mine) is doing a readings on Monday Nov. 24, 7:30 p.m., at Solas Bar in NYC. So put down […]

When it comes to television, we Latinos have really come a long way in recent years. We’ve gotten ugly (America Ferrera in Ugly Betty) and played it gay (Bobby Cannavalle in Will and Grace), and thanks to the clichés and stereotypes of procedural shows like Law and Order, NYPD Blue, and HBO’s Oz, our actors […]

Okay, I know toothpaste isn’t something that would generally thrill a beauty junkie. But what if I told you I had found the most perfect-est toothpaste—and that girls on the Latina staff agreed with me? I’m talking about Arm & Hammer Advanced White Brilliant Sparkle ($4, drugstore.com). Let’s see…how can I put this… If you […]

I’m a slave to my elastic ponytail holders. Because when I don’t want to blow out my hair (which is always because I’m a lazy pig), a ponytail is so easy. But I’m just so sick of it! And because I have extremely thick and wavy hair, a ponytail can give me outrageous headaches. So […]

If you’re like me, then you are actually a comic book-obsessed little boy trapped inside the body of a 28-year-old woman. Indeed, I went to see The Dark Knight at 4 a.m. the night it opened because the midnight show was sold out. And I’ve studied the different villains of Superman (”Kneel before Zod!”) to […]

So you all may think I’m nuts, but I have already begun my holiday shopping. However, I spent my first full day at the mall last weekend and got “Mall Calves.” You know, that soreness in your calves you get from pacing the mall 245 times? Yeah, ouch. Therefore, I’ve decided to pace myself and […]

Sigh. I still remember the first time I came across those words back in middle school. Miss Toranzos (I think she’s on Facebook now!) made each one of us learn Neruda’s “Poema 20″ in its entirety and then recite it in front of the whole class. Of course the boys all made fun of the […]
