Spanish

Al comienzo, Dios creó al Hombre y después creó a la Mujer… y gracias a Dios que así lo hizo. ¿Se imagina un mundo de solo hombres? No puedo ni lo haré… Gracias a Dios por la creación de nuestras madres, hermanas, hijas, novia y esposas. Quiero ahora compartir este poema que hallé recientemente en el Internet:

La mujer no quiere una mirada, quiere una sonrisa. Ella no quiere compañía, quiere presencia. La mujer no quiere llanto, ella quiere lágrimas. La mujer quiere, lo que es más sencillo otorgar. La mujer no busca una mano, busca tacto. No busca momentos, espera acontecimientos. La mujer no busca tu risa, espera tu alegría. Ofrece lo que siempre has podido dar. La mujer no desea un cuerpo, desea un abrazo. No desea halagos, desea palabras. La mujer no desea unos labios, desea un beso. No desea ser persona, desea ser mujer. La mujer no espera tu tiempo, espera tiempo contigo. La mujer no espera pasión, espera romance. No espera sexo, espera amor. La mujer no espera belleza, espera que la hagan sentir bella. La mujer es mujer, no la trates como a un hombre. La mujer es mujer: no es física, es sentimental. La mujer no es cuerpo, es corazón. La mujer no eres tú, no la trates como esperas que te traten. La mujer no es para poseer, es para admirar. La mujer no es para convencer, es para amar. La mujer no es para conocer, es para entender. No es lo que tú crees, ella es mucho más. La mujer no es un rostro, es un todo. La mujer no es difícil, es misteriosa. La mujer no es tacto, es caricia. Ella no es la espina, es la rosa.

Sin ustedes simplemente no seríamos nada...

Con este espíritu le dedicamos esta edición a la juguetona y arriesgada latina. Así sea abuela, madre, hija o nieta, la mujer merece ser honrada de la mejor forma posible.

Primero con nuestras fotos de moda de la alegre y arriesgada Evette Ríos (y su madre Nilsa). Con su trabajo en NBC en la exitosa serie The Chew, Evette es la única latina en un programa de comentarios en el horario del día. Su despliegue de fotos comienza en la página 10.

Luego observe la sección de Q&A de LatinTRENDS con la artista Katherine Glen, más conocida como La Reina del Mariachi. Esta diosa de la música es una cantante mariachi… de Nueva York… una mujer colombiana que habla inglés y canta la música mexicana de mariachi como si hubiera nacido allá… Esto solo sucede en Nueva York. Lea sobre esta agraciada & hermosa joven mujer, además de artista, en la página 8.

Tampoco podemos dejar de mencionar nuestra entrevista exclusiva con Victoria Justice. No es una sorpresa que la estrella de Victorious y triple artista, responsable y con los pies en la tierra, está dispuesta a tomar el toro por los cuernos al mismo tiempo que cambia de “estrella juvenil” al estrellato adulto. ¿Sabes que también se dedica a obras caritativas? Su gran historia y trayecto comienza en la página 28.

Hay muchas distorsiones y preconcepciones sobre al mujer latina. Pero nada menos que la autoridad de Cameron Díaz cuando dijo que “mis raíces latinas son muy profundas. Tota mi vida, porque tengo cabello rubio y ojos azules, la gente que no es latina no me cree. Y los latinos siempre piensan que tampoco lo soy porque no luzco como ellos. Pero ser latina es parte de lo que soy y siempre lo tengo en cuenta en mi trabajo diario”. Y esto, quizás, es lo que más representa la esencia de la mujer latina.

Woman

Mujer

In the beginning , God created Man, and then He created Woman…and thank God he did! Can you imagine a world full of men? I can’t & I won’t…Gracias a Dios!, then, for creating our mothers, sisters, Dahgthers, girlfriends and wives. In saying that, I want to share this poem I recently found online:

Mother Teresa wrote this poem – Do It Anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you’ve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.

the only Latina on a national daytime talk show. Her photo essay begins on page 10.

Next, check out our Q&A with LatinTRENDS featured up & coming artist Katherine Glen, better known as La Reina del Mariachi. This unique songstress is a mariachi singer...from New York...a Colombian woman who speaks English, yet sings the Mexican-based mariachi as though she was born there…only in Neuva York!! Read about this pretty & gifted young lady and the artist in her on page 8.

Of course, we can’t forget to mention our exclusive interview with Victoria Justice. It should come as no surprise that the Victorious star -- and triple-threat performer -- is a responsible, grounded young lady, poised to take the world by storm as she transitions from a “teen star” to an adult star. But did you know that she also does charity work? Her remarkable story -- and

journey -- begins on page 28.

There are many misconceptions & miscommunications about the Hispanic woman. But no less of an authority than Cameron Diaz has said, “my Latin roots are very strong. All my life, because I`m blonde and blue-eyed, people who aren`t Hispanic can`t believe I am. And people who are Hispanic always think I`m not, because I don`t look like them. But being Latin is part of who I am and I bring that part to every role.” And that, perhaps, best sums up the essence of the Latin woman.

In that spirit, we dedicate this issue to celebrating the fun, fearless Latina woman. Whether she’s our abuela, our madre, our hija, or our nieta, she deserves to be honored in the highest way possible!

First up is our fashion shoot with the fun & fearless Evette Rios (and her equally vivacious mother, Nilsa). With her gig on ABC’s daytime hit The Chew, Evette is

She’s a Colombian woman...who sings mariachi music. She’s a New Yorker who speaks perfect English...yet identifies closely with her Hispanic roots.

Katherine Glen is the very definition of “pop culture with a Latin twist,” yet identifies so closely with her heritage. “Being Hispanic means so much more than how I look, how I dress, & how I act,” she said. “To me, being Hispanic is the pride that I have in my culture. When I look into the mirror, I see all those that have came before me, and I also see all those that will come long after I pass.

“I also feel that I have instilled in myself the desire and dedication to givoe back to my people. We, as Hispanics, need to give back to our comunities and help others to succeed. We owe it to ourselves to help our people rise up.”

Glen, who admits that she can’t have soup without avocado (“it’s the Colombian in me,” she said), views

herself as a trendsetter (and we here at LatinTRENDS tend to agree). “I love being unique, original, & creative,” she said. “I design my own outfits, and I have my mom make them for me. It’s something that I love doing. I love to be different, and to be a role model.”

Glen first discovered that she had a “gift” when she was in the 1st grade. “I passed by the school auditorium,” she said, “and it was empty, but there was a mic on stage. I turned on the mic and started to sing. As I thought to myself, “wow, this thing sounds cool!,” I realized that the teachers & the students were starting to come in, and they all cheered!”

She said that if she weren’t a singer, she’d be an actress, and her favorite mariachi songs to perform are “La Cigarra,” “Los Laureles,” and “El Herradero.”

This vibrant space challenges traditional design, embracing ec-centricities and fun over a banal and lifeless building face.

Recently ushered into the smartphone market is the Facebook phone.

Sharing the house with pets is a barking good time, yet it can leave much to be desired when it comes to creating a stylish home. Krisybelle Pet Products has banished the bland, big-box store pet beds to the back porch, and invites their clients to tailor their pets’ beds to their complete specifications. Their custom pet beds are an innovative way to dress up a room, match decor styles, and jazz up bedtime. Customers simply send Krisybelle their fabric, and they’ll take it from there to create something beautiful. For those without a fabric choice on hand, Krisybelle will search out the perfect mate-rial to meet their customer’s desires. Choose from adorable pouf beds and high sided options that will keep Fido or Fifi comfy and cozy all winter long. Best of all, their beds are machine washable so owners can keep fur and dirt at bay.

LEGO artist and Sci-Fi aficionado Shannon Ocean created a LEGO Alien book stand in anticipation of the upcoming film Prometheus. Ocean originally wanted to create a model that had the face of the Space Jockey (a character present in both Prometheus and Alien) for one half and the Alien for the other. This endeavor did not pan out as hoped so Shannon settled for having two alien faces instead. The model is eerily accurate and displays two characteristics that fans of the Alien saga will notice. First is the iconic mouth-tongue that makes the Alien such a deadly foe, and second is the use of transparent LEGO pieces to create the impression of drooling. The LEGO Alien book stand would be an excellent way to keep one’s favorite science fiction novels neatly in place.
