Downward dog and other pretzel positions (0)
2/08/10 •

Someday I will learn why the Kilometro 13 un-ceremoniously dumps passengers onto a bridge in the middle of nowhere.It could very well have been called the Kilometro 15 or 17 bus and actually continue on to somewhere useful.
I think it is extra assurance from God that Santa Fe is not meant for people but only [...]

One thing has emerged from the outcry over the shooting of Paraguayan football star, Salvador Cabañas, at an Insurgentes Sur nightclub. Amid all the inspections of various nightclub codes and violations, don’t overlook one thing.
That nightclub is NOT COOL. The photo at left is lifted from Chilango Banda and should give you an indication of [...]

Being a resident of the east side of Mexico City makes me think about how hard life has been for people who have moved to this region. I know that more than 50% of the people who live here came from the countryside like I did. Mexico City is not London, New York or Paris but it is another city where people have come to find a better, like one of those cities but with the particularity that this is a third world city.

Time to put on your fishnet stockings, glittery dresses and shimmering eye-shadow – BOYS – the show is about to begin.
I went to my first drag show here in Cuernavaca, Mexico, last night…and it definitely won’t be my last.
After so much macho culture, the bar that held the show – Enigma – is a refreshing [...]
