I promise I’ll lay off the JLO posts for a while after this one… okay, so I’ll try. But how could one not talk about estas fotitos? They’re for an upcoming issue of Vogue and feature Ms. Jennifer Lopez herself – did I mention she was also honored as No. 1 on The Celebrity 100 by Forbes – in a bathing suit and a bikini. ¡Muy Caliente!
Yup, I’d say it’s safe to say this is the year of La Lopez! See More

As children we did not know there was such a thing as time out. Instead, we knew that when mamá or papá gave us that look we had better stop doing whatever it was we were doing, or else.

As in rifar,to risk it, put it all on the line, or to arriesgarse. You might have heard the expression arriesgarse el pellejo. That’s one of those phrases we grew up with, usually when guys were sitting around drinking some beers and shooting the breeze. It always made whatever anecdote they were relaying seem so much more daring and impressive. Even when that cuento might have been a fib, or at the very least partially made up, it still sounded bien macho when they threw in the words arriesgandome el pellejo. ¡Me la estuve rifando bien feo!

Chusma, as in “muchedumbre de gente vulgar” (crowd of vulgar people), as defined by the Real Academia Española… is probably best interpreted for meaning by one of the countless encounters between Don Ramón and Doña Florinda on El Chavo del Ocho, where Quico, of course, was always the culprit behind their ongoing bickering. In fact, chusma is one of those words that can easily be understood even if you don’t speak a lick of Spanish. Read More
