Your one-stop shop for all things Latin/Hispanic/Mexican
In the latest unshocking revelation regarding the banana republics that -according to U.S. diplomats- make up the Latin American continent, we learn that the U.S. worried that Peru’s president Alan García had “a colossal ego” and cited rumors he could be afflicted by manic depression or bipolar disorder.
Shame on you, American diplomats, all you had to do was watch the following video to figure out the man just wants to have a little fun. Give him a break!
Have you ever heard Toyota’s claim that “Since 2004, ninety percent of all Toyota Camry’s are still on the road?” If so…What on Earth happened to the other 10 percent?

This week the National Latino Media Coalition (NLMC) scolded the nation’s top broadcast networks for not embracing diversity (i.e. mostly for failing to employ more Latinos in front of and behind the camera.) In a press conference on Tuesday in Los Angeles, Alex Nogales, president & CEO of the NLMC said that:
Well said, Mr. Nogales! But I wouldn’t hold my breath too long if I were you… Last time I checked, even the main Hispanic networks insisted on drawing their top talent from some sort of Swedish incubator.
L’Oréal Paris on Dec. 3 announced it has tapped JLo as global ambassador for the brand, mostly because she is, like, super popular and all, but also because the Bronx diva is a confessed fan of the beauty brand. According to an “inspiring” press release sent out this week to the media, JLo loves the new gig because:
“Having used L’Oréal Paris products most of my life, I’m excited to work with a brand that consistently offers a wide range of superior products that are attainable for women everywhere.”
And the key here is the word “attainable”… Last time we checked, JLo was peddling $1,600 Gucci sweaters for toddlers.
Perhaps this time we will actually be able to try out something the diva really really likes. Or not.
One of the many perks of living in New York City is that, no matter where you go -or what mood you’re in- you will always bump into a band of authentic mariachis wearing Santa hats. Well, maybe not always, but it happened to me this week at the unbearably touristy, and easily avoidable Columbus Circle shopping mall.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering: that thing showing behind the glass is one of Salvador Dalí’s famous melting watches. How cool is this!
