An Honorary Spanish Diva, I am

Hey folks, como les va?


It's been a slow week for me. Nothing new and exciting. This past saturday I went to the Congress Theater. Their series of free concerts is going on and this saturday was the one and only Ely Guerra



It was really nice. She had 2 opening acts, some boring band from Joliet, IL called Crather and a guy named Miguel Inzunza. He wasn't that bad, at least he was a tad more entertaining with his sampler. Not to mention the drunk dyke next to us was a riot. Hi, whoever u were! Ely looked lovely and she did an acoustic set which consisted of pracitally ALL her last album and then some. Whatever, it was a free show and she was good. There was a nasty ugly naca who kept yelling "Eres mi Venus!" throughout the whole show. She was annoying the fuck out of me. That was the only down side to the show. Also, there was a girl in the audience who looked JUST LIKE "Celina" from "Rebelde". Was it her?!?!


There was an interesting situation that happened to me on Friday too. It wasn't a big deal for me but I coudln't help but be annoyed. I saw somebody whom I had not seen in 4 years. We "saw" each other for a good month, yet this person didn't recognize me! Either that or he acted like it, still I was annoyed. Granted we never really were anything special, and as a matter of fact when I was seeing him I was also fucking someone else, but to ignore me like that was just rude. I was ready to say hi. This was like in 2002 or so. Either way, the guy is a goofy looking motherfucker and he had a little dick. Not to mention he couldn't keep his mouth shut and always wanted to sing to me with his nelly voice.

Have u ever run into people you went to school with at a Gay bar? It's hilarious when that happens. Being that it rarely happens to me, as I don't remember many things and people of my school days, I don't know how that feels like. People have recognized me and I'm like "oh wow! I did go to that school!". So to them I guess it's a surprise. I wasn't all "gay" in school. I was more of a loser "pseudo-goth" kid who hated everything and everyone. I was so damn negative about everything, as if me being too good for anything made me cool. I realize now that it's just as immature to act that way as it is to try to be a part of everything to fit in. Thank god I'm not that uptight anymore. I'd just be in a corner, writing poetry and smoking cigarrettes outside the school.

Back to the "Bar" issue, recently I have seen a guy who was friends with my brother, but I didn't go up to him. I told my brother about him, and he's like "oooh, I know who ure talking about! I always suspected he was gay!". Hahaha, next time if I'm really drunk, I'll go up to him. Funny. There was a boy I had a huge crush on in High school. ALL THE GIRLS, even older ones, loved this boy. He was adorable and had lovely muscular arms. I forgot his name but if I ever saw him at a gay bar, I'd totally go up to him and say "I was in love with u in high school! So u realized that mangina is better than girls?"

We'll see.

Last night was Lucia Mendez's Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCIA!

Let's all sing in celebration of Mexico's bombshell...
"who wants to buy....who wants to buy...my apples tonight?!"

That was an homage to a trashy song she "sang" on her 1982 movie "La Ilegal". hehehe. Actually, there's a really slutty ENGLISH song on her pop debut album called "Don't tell my mama". I LOVE IT!!! Let's sing that..

"Don't tell my mama cuz she'll be upset! Don't tell my mama cuz she'll be afraid! How could she ever understand the way we live, the way we are"


In 2005, Thanks to a fantastic online friend in Chihuahua, Mexico...I was exposed to this "diva". The lady can't really sing that well but man did she have some catchy and kooky music. Not to mention how INCREDIBLY SEXY Lucia Mendez was! Just look at her!


She was a bombshell back in her day. She maintained success as "The Queen of Telenovelas" in the 70's and most of the 80's, battling it out on screen with her "rival" Veronica Castro, who was nowhere near as sexy. Then, after recording a series of Mexican ranchera albums, she finally released a pop album in 1981, produced by Camilo Sesto! And the rest is history..the world was embraced by Lucia Mendez's style...sometimes classy and sometimes trashy. Vocally she's somewhere between Madonna and LaToya Jackson..but her music speaks for itself. Who doesn't enjoy her trashy fun songs like "Enamorada" or even "Castigame". What about "Margarita" and "Tormenta De Verano" Or her theme to her 1987 soap opera "El Extraño Retorno De Diana Salazar"?

"Es un alma en pena que va arrastrando cadenas! Que condena! Es un grito de amor! oh uh oh!"



Look at this picture from 1985. The intro to her telenovela "Tú o nadie". Kylie Minogue would later rip her off on her "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" video.


My favorite of her albums though, from the 80's which I flipped over in 2005 when I heard it, is "Enamorada". I managed to track them all down. Lucia Mendez albums are so hard to find! But I love this one in particular.

This album was released in 1983, produced by Honorio Herrero (who also worked with Luis Miguel at this time). It's a trashtastic masterpiece! I even like the ballads! All 2 of them! Lucia or her producers took advantage of her vocal weakness and moulded these songs to fit her and not expose her "debilidad vocal". This album has such gems as "Corazon de fresa" (her first in her trilogy of "Corazon" songs), the aforementioned "Margarita" and the title track. It also has a good ballad which is never on her Greatest Hits CD's titled "Cobarde (Lastima)". Perfection.

Oh Lucia, how hot she once was. Too bad she has not made due with time. Where is she now? What's she doing? nada. Too busy getting surgery I guess. She looks scary now. She got a face lift, her nose done and lips. She does not look the same at all. She looks like a transexual. Jus just look



Pobrecita. See this is why I admire DANIELA ROMO so much. She is not afraid of her age and embraces it. She looks her age and is lovely like that. I'd much rather see wrinkles than the picture above. That's just gross.
