This blogger had to make a rush visit to check up on her fellow Mexicans on the West Coast. Which means you’ll probably be seeing more California-related postings than necessary.

Who Needs a Border Wall when you Can Have Mexican Ices?
Saturday, July 22, 2017.
President Trump might have some evil plans in store for my people (i.e. The Mexicans,) but — at least for now — some of us take great pleasure in the simple, little things. Like Mexican Ices in the summer heat, for example.

Trump Wants His Border Wall to be Transparent, so People Don’t Get Hit on the Head with Flying Drugs
Mr. Donald Trump is a very creative fellow, so it shouldn’t surprise you to know he has come up with an awesome idea for that U.S.-Mexican wall he will build and my people will pay for it: He wants to it to be transparent… The reason?
Here’s how the president actually explained this to journalists:
“As horrible as it sounds, when they throw large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don’t see them. […] They hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It’s over.”
Wow! It’s all so simple, yet brilliant! And I’m glad to have such a thoughtful leader in charge of the free world.
Gracias, Señor Presidente!

Trump Meets Peña Nieto in Germany. A Tragicomedy Ensues
It was brief –and painful.
U.S. President Donald Trump and Enrique Peña Nieto on Friday had their first face-to-face meeting since Trump took office, and while the encounter lasted only a few minutes, it was enough for El Trumpo to assert that he’ll “absolutely” have Mexico pay for his famous wall.
Fortunately for this blogger — and the world at large — Mexican tuiteros came through to spice up the otherwise tragic encounter.
Here are only a few of my favorite Twitter moments of this year’s G-20 meeting. Be sure to come back, as I’m going to be updating this post throughout this hilarious/tragic day.

Move Over, ‘Guardians of the Galaxy;’ Mexico Wants you to See ‘Guardianes de la Galatzia’ Instead
It is becoming increasingly difficult to keep blogging, when Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Stories et al keep beating me to the punch, like, by the second. But there are things that are just so beautiful that they deserve to be immortalized in this venerable, non-for-profit, read-by-nobody blog. And this is one of them.
So there. Enjoy. And repeat after me: “Mexicans: How can anyone not love us?”
This Laser Hair Removal Biz in Brazil Wants you to Know Frida Would Have Been Better off Using their Services
Some laser hair removal shop in Brazil called Espaçolaser thought it would be a great idea to use a Before-After image of Frida Kahlo showing how unbelievably different (presumably better) she would have looked AFTER undergoing a hair laser removal therapy with them.
Well, I’ve got news for you, people:
Ummmm, no!
Go home, Espaco Laser, you’re drunk.
