Destilando Amor 05/07/07 "What the Hell I Thought this was Supposed to be a Fiesta"
(okay she didn't say the monkey sex or the drawing..but oh yes it was implied). Minnie is seriously upset. Just a thought here, but Minnie isn't that pregnant..maybe if she got up once in awhile and wore something besides those pajamas she would feel better.
Now our spunky heroine Gavi attending a coctel or cocktail function with Aaron of the Twirling Moustache...Folks are thrilled to see Gavi, she is such a breath of fresh air. Ingeniero Eduardo Zaldivar is especially enamoured with Gaviota.
Meanwhile out in the sticks, Sofia, trying to cheer James up (oh please I can't even type that without smirks flying off the page and boomeranging all over the room) makes plans to hang out in Pueblo, the next day..She asks if Isa, will be going..Isa putting on her best "Barbie", face mumurs maybe Rod (translate..big strong man) doesn't want her to come. She demurely looks down, like a good little wife. Rod answers he already ask her. Swell kids, Gidget, Moondoggie and the whole gang will be at the Beach Party.
Now back at Cocktail land...a guy wants to take pictures of Aaron, Gavi and two old guys, Gavi says no way...she gets out of the picture..of course, she doesn't want Rod to spot her in the paper..Gavi doesn't realize the closest Rod has come to a newpaper in the past couple of weeks is to throw-up Tequila on one, courtesy of the help trying to save the floors from his recent drinking bouts. All in all this is by far possibly the wisest decision any of these AssHats will make this episode. I was thinking if that old hotel boss saw the picture, she'd blow Senorita Franco right outta the water. Also points to Gavi for drinking water, even though she'd really like a doble Tequila. Aaron gets his picture taken and I am LOL, cause he puts on the serious Aaron Smirk, with the one eyebrow up, work the camara Aaron....
Oh No...here comes, Pamela Torreblanca..she cuts Aaron from the herd..She tells him that her father is in Berlin and she is there to represent him...(Maybe I missed something..is her Father also in the liquor business?...I wish my family was more inventive..well I had that one great uncle that made gin during the depression, but he went BSC from drinking it...I digress)
Gavi spots Pamela and Aaron and a photographer, Gavi thought bubbles "Oh Crap".
Hilario is sitting down stairs, moping at the kitchen table..remembering his nite of TWB..hawt kitchen sex and then her "Mandingo" dismissal of him the next day. SantaWanna, comes in and kinda turns the heat up on getting a committment outta Hilario..but no can do...he wants nothing to do with SantaWanna (which is okay cause the girl has mucha potential..she won't be lonely long & if she plays her cards right she maybe able to blackmail Isa.)
Just then TWB comes down wearing her trademark shorty red robe..she tries to talk to Hilario..but he says he is vulgar (low class) and walks out on her..I so know he was going to the barn to carry on the tradition of Hombres at the ranch and have himself a good cry and maybe some chunky munkey icecream.
Aaron comes home and Minnie swopes in for the attack...Aaron consoles her that he needs Gavi for the business, blah blah blah..Minnie pretends to believe him and they start kissing, which I think is twisted hawt hate kissing..
The next day
EXTRA EXTRA...Read all about it Aaron boinks Amante
full color picture of Aaron and Pamela in the paper...
Gavi & Ma see the paper and have the big rehash..
Rod sees the paper and Sofia & Isa..are looking over his shoulder...
(James is apparently off his medication and is back in his fugue state as he stares off in space and takes no notice)...
Pamela's mother is sitting at the table and Pamela comes out..she got in late the nite before..she tells her mother, that she has no future with Aaron...but she did have dinner with him..
Now Minnie sees the picture and she goes completely around the bend..she throws the breakfast tray, she yells she screams, she accuses him of everything, but hiding the WMD's in Iraq..pushing, shoving...the ole pounding on his chest..Aaron tries to calm her down..to no avail
he tries to hold her "Let go of me" "Let go of me"...she gets out of the bedroom..she starts down the "Staircase of Misspent Dreams", he grabs her wrist, push, pull, push, pull...Minnie breaks free and does a triple cartwheel combo somersault down the steps...ending up unconcious at the bottom..(I docked her two points for landing on her head)....
Here comes never before seen servent girl...Call the damn ambulance...
Now back in Pueblo...the foursome are attending a fiesta..there is music and Tequila and mole...
The four sit down at a table..Rod and TWB, take off to get refreshments...James makes Sofia dance with him. Of course she can't dance, and I gotta say she is wearing like a 1960's dress that woulda been okay for Samantha in Bewitched...and black nylons and black boots...Gawd Sofia is just such a nerd... James is okay for her though cause he is such a Wuss...she is just leading him around and he is just falling right back into the whip me, beat me, make me write bad checks, abused boyfriend role.
Rod and TWB return with ummm fruity Aguas for the ladies and Tequilas for the men..All the sudden a singer girl starts singing the Gaviota song...Rod is transported, the girl becomes Gaviota..singing to him, caressing his face. (don't you just love when that happens, I think the clinical diagnosis is "Schizophrenia or possibly some other psychosis with breaks from reality").
The song ends and Rod has to do the head shake...what the hell happened thing. TWB, is all over that, she sneers at Rod. "Gaviota, Gaviota, Gaviota"...ah Jan Brady jumps up and takes off.
Sofia starts in on Rod...who is like "What?". Sofie is horrified by the thought that Rod's sperm and TWB's eggs are unlikely to ever become accquainted...Go after her....Sofia commands..Rod answers, "Hey I don't love her, never will...only one woman I want to share DNA with"...James possibly thinking of his own little swimmers, backs up Sofia...and Rod gets up to follow TWB, he'll take her home and send Roman back for them.
Feeling giddy from her small victory, Sofie gets up to dance with James...he turns around and see the dark, unblinking, accusing eyes of Acacia...Oh he is muy impacted...
Meanwhile...TWB is all pissy and says she is so ready to leave, Crispin is drunk and comes up and talks Rod into staying...TWB leaves by herself.
James runs into Acacia's Uncle Meliton, they chat it up about peanut farming and James says he misses England and is returning. Meliton tries to shake Sofia's hand and she bluntly won't which is a real social faux pax, I mean she doesn't know he is a Tequila swilling, incest committing cretin...instead she just does not want to sully herself with the lower classes...Damn she is soooo annoying.
Rod comes back and James is like spinning in circles. Rod asks if James said anything to Meliton ( I guess about the niece thing), but James is one small step from another Fugue state, break down.
Meanwhile over in DF, things are not looking good for Minnie, I think the placenta is in the process of seperating...Aaron is visibly upset, if he could remove the kid and put it on a machine..he would and sell Minnie for body parts.
Hindsite is 20-20, but damn Aaron as important as a spawn is to you, you think you could have worn that dog collar for nine months and then just cut her loose.
Gavi arrives at work, she has flowers from Eduardo Zaldivar...Elvira is waiting to blame Gavi for the whole baby thing. This lady so needs a smack down. Gavi is trying to fend off all callers and taking messages and so on for Aaron. Some guy calls from Canada and Gavi speaks English to him. He is really upset cause his shipment hasn't arrive..she apoligizes and tries to pacify him, but he is all upset. Eduardo calls and Gavi politely tries not to encourage him.
Over at the hospital...things are muy grave, much saying of "No puede ser"...Minnie has lost the baby. Aaron is devestated, Fedra and Pilar arrive, wanting details, but Aaron does not want to talk about it. In her room the doctor tells Minnie, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
she wails.
TWB arrives back at the ranch, she gives the keys to Roman, asks a few questions about who is there..then tells Roman to send Hilario; she has some trouble with plumbling (smirk smirk)...
TWB..is standing in the bedroom in her black negligee looking all seductive and placing perfume on her cleavage...here comes the plumber. "Are you trying to seduce me, Mrs Robinson?"
TWB is all over him...Hilario, has a fleeting vision of spending eternity in hell, but he quickly gives in. The phone starts ringing and ringing and ringing...TWB answers...it is Fedra passing along the miscarriage info. TWB tells Hilario to get out...get out...he runs off.
I'm sure he is headed for the barn..for more crying and icecream..maybe writing in his diary with sparkle pens.
You know Sofia is gonna act all sad, but secretly she will be hoping unlike the South that Rod will rise again.
Over at the hospital..Aaron says he is going to work..Fedra & Pilar are furious..No you will stay and you will console Minnie.
Tune in tommorrow as
Gavi talks to Rod on the phone, deeping her voice several octaves
The Tequila is stuck in New Laredo...egads...
Will it never be a real Fiesta?

I'm glad you stated that Sophie was being rude (and it wasn't my limited Spanish). I was surprised but then had to remind myself it was Sophie.
Karen
very humorous and detailed. especially loved your description of Minnie falling down the stairs and landing on her head. (In your opinion, was it better or worse than Antonio's at the end of Alborada?)
J.R. :)
hating myself for missing Eduardo's grand entrance into this novela.
I like Rod much better when he isn't sulking. Poor guy - he's had sex once in his life and it was, what, two, three years ago? No wonder he's having psychotic breaks.
Isa is just - not really an actress. I bet her boyfriend got her this role.
Hilario = terrible kisser. He goes crosseyed when he's drunk, interesting touch.
Gaviota is only sane one of the bunch,but how much of the "wackjobs" can she take before she becomes like them.?
James & Acacia's relationship is quite disturbing,or maybe it's her demeanor and the relationship with her uncle,I believe..This story line is so uncomfortable,personally..Don't know how others feel..
I gotta sorta like Sofia for doing all the right things for all the wrong reasons --particularly with Melitón. I wouldn't have shaken that guy's greasy palm, either I'm thinkin'.----What you want to bet the farm really belonged to his dead wife and went to naive, abused Acacia? As for disturbing, I keep hoping she's really 19 or 20 at least, but because Tío Meli starved her for so long ("More?? You want MORE???") she just looks like she isn't old enough to have a driver's license........

I hadn't even thought of the old hotel boss. I wonder if she will come back to cause trouble? She and Elvira could join forces for some tag-team bitchery.
I thought Pamela or her mother referred to a pregnancy... did I misunderstand this? Maybe they were talking about Minnie. I just remember that Pam's mom referred to Pamela's "condition" one day last week and it got me to thinking maybe she's got a bun in the oven. If that's so and if it's Aaron's, I don't see much of a future for Minerva, unless she tries to have Pamela whacked or something.
Always with the staircases! Beckster called this one.
I have some gorgeous pictures of Fernando Colunga in "Alborada" that I would like to paste up on this blog scene for all the ladies who don't know why we are all twittering about him.
Can I send them to you and where would I send them?
Beckster is too much, isn't she?
Miranda
Has anyone noticed the change in Joanna Bekker (not sure that her last name)playing that redheaded fluzzy one of the many girlfriends of Aaron, and how much she has changed from novela to novela?
Yeah I got the same feeling when Isa was peering out the door last nite during the preview...
Thats what I soooooooooo love about Aaron..I am officially resigning my LFMB love for Omar...Aaron knows how to bring the self-centered..raise an eyebrow and smirk and all at the same time. Omar just can't sustain that level of self centeredness with malicious intent..
Loved your ranch reference - "cut Aaron from the herd".
Isa acting compliant - estupida. She hasn't learned a thing, not one thing, about Rodrigo. His true love, Gav, is not a "compliant" type.
If Isa used her brain,instead of reading "Cosmo" (actually, it's Sophie who reads "Cosmo" and passes the advice on), she might have a chance with him.
So, Isa and Aaron beget the next nieto? Stay tuned.
I've only been watching novelas for less than a year, but I've seen Joana Benedek in three different ones now plus one Don Francisco. She looks different each time - more fake. :( But I have to admit, she is not that bad of an actress, when given a decent role to work with.
Wow that totally flies in the face of every bi-racial sterotype you ever heard...I think alot of that was people tended to marry within their own groups..I mean check out the Sopranos...but now people move around a lot more.
Also Hilario and the bad kisses...Well the boy never seems to be the aggressor..SantaWanna jumped him, then Isa..unless he was practicing on Flicka...he is a bit of a Novice...Even Rod was kissing those hooker chicks in England..he just couldn't seal the deal.
Aaron's an interesting character, he was so one dimensional as Cesar.
Sophie's snub to Meliton was purely from her sense of class superiority. Did the abuela ask about the doctor's name? Was this to check out his pedigree instead of his school degree?
The genetic theory didn't work me.
Wish chunky monkey icecream was around when I needed it...

J.R., I don't think Minni's fall down the stairs was better than Antonio's. He still reigns in my book. It was muy dramatico!
and a lot of it can be sub-conscious (unintentional)
For example maybe someone with abusive parents is 'attracted' to an abusive spouse
or someone is 'attracted' to kind people which in some way exhibit the same type of kindness as a relative.
or even physically it doesn't have to be so cut and dry- you can be attracted to large eyes without eyelashes and a unibrow (for a far out example) because that runs in your family so you think it's beautiful consciously or not- and so you can find someone of a different race that fits that and be attrated to them, they don't have to fit your phenotype exactly.
