Destilando 09/17/07 "When a good time turns around. You must whip it."
Our four Brujas take inspiration from Devo..
"When a good time turns around.
You must whip it.
You will never live it down.
Unless you whip it.
No one gets their way.
Until they whip it."
We begin tonite with Pilar verbal slap down of the Montalvo women (Dani excluded)…Minnie tries to argue back, but Pilar stares her down. The “no more of this nonsense” notice is also given to Fredra & Sofie, who try to look like they are completely uninvolved.
Now it is time for dinner, but Granny Pilar has no appetite and will adjourn to her room. Minnie all upset that Aaron didn’t come to her defense demands that they leave. Isa says she is going with them. Bruno tells them to calm down that his mother had good reason for her tirade. The rest get up for dinner, but Fedra, Minnie and Isa decide to remain in the living room to discuss defense. Geez good call ladies cause I bet the rest will probably just think you are talking about the latest edition of Mexico Redbook. This has so turned into a teen angst movie with Gavi as the spunky poor girl, Rod is the handsome king of the school and Minnie & Isa are the A-Team girls. Fedra tells our cheerleaders that they must conduct themselves with class and dignity cause they can totally outshine Gavi at the big Homecoming dance, ooops I mean the “Tequila Function”. They will have awesome bitchin dresses, hairstyles, make-up consultants & CFM heels while, Gavi will have a dress made by Clarita on her old Singer, from a vinyl table clothe, with a necklace made out of napkin rings and bad hair rolled on old toilet paper rolls. Then during the big dance scene where everyone can shake it in perfect step, they will be in the center doing the fancy hip shakin while Gavi runs off to the bathroom crying with smeared makeup. Damn Fedra, I saw that movie too. Okay I elaborated a bit here, but seriously this is the jest of the conversation. Hee Hee Hee, our cheerleaders don’t know the big Dance is being held off school grounds and they are so not invited.
Gavi is at home telling Clarita about the big meeting over at the big apartment. Clarita is her usual wide eyed naïve self. Gavi further informs her that the four will be banned from the big Tequila fiesta. Clara wonders if this is prudent. Clarita believes nothing good comes from revenge, personally Clarita I beg to differ.
After dinner Aaron stands up, he says he and Minnie have good news. Rod says “A divorce?” No, of course not, Aaron announces Minnie is pregnant, congrads all round…or at least Bruno and Fedra are happy, the rest just put on their polite rich white people faces and snicker, with the exception of Elvis, but he does snicker. The party is breaking up, Isa tells Sofie to take a cordial up to Pilar. (Sofie is just such a whipped puppy now), she leaves the table and everyone else begins vamoosing. Frankie who oblivious to everything but the good eats and fine after dinner liquor continues to sit at the table. Say this would be a perfect opportunity for Isa, to slip in a comment about future slipping it in. Hey three months, you got three months to make up your mind about running off with me and your little doppleganger, don’t forget.
Mean while out in the stick…or rather the agave fields, the country folk (Meester James, San Wanna, Ofelia & Roman) are sitting around having dinner. James (subtle, dude, subtle), wonders when that paragon of virtue Sofie will be returning.
Ring…ring…ring…
Ofelia tells SanWanna to do something productive and answer the phone. She smarts off and Roman tells her to do it.
Land o’Goshen, it’s Hilario. SanWanna just gushes into the phone..finally Ofelia wrestles it from her. Ofeilia is all happy to hear from her son. Hil wants to talk to Roman…Roman refuses to talk to his son, why as a matter of fact, he says he has no son. Way Harsh Words Roman. Roman apparently feels modeling sunglasses and low rider jeans with no shirt and his thumbs stuck in his waist band, is rather unmanly as compared to the endless brushing of horses and mucking out stalls. James tries to talk to Roman but it is a no go. Hil says his father just does not understand that Hil decided to change his life.
Now over to Rod & Isa’s, Isa can’t believe Rod’s attitude. She makes one last valiant effort to kinds seduce Rod, or at least get a little pity party going, but it just isn’t gonna happen. She tries to pull the poor pitiful me, now I’ve even lost your family routine. She demands to know if Rod has plans to hook up with Gavi (like in the long run). Well yeah, but even if he didn’t he is still leaving Isa’s lame ass. Rod just pulls away from her and goes off to bed. Isa sits down on the couch and says how much she hates Rod. I can’t really fault Isa. Being married to Rod has been like owning a Ferrari for three years and never getting to drive it, you’d at least to park it in your garage once before the repo man cometh.
Over at Aaron & Minnie’s, Minnie is furious that Pilar talked to them that way. Aaron is like shut-up and play the game, until we can buy a kid and get the entire Montalvo fortune. I like the fact that there is a picture of Aaron smirking on the end table. I like when people have pictures of themselves up. I think it demonstrates an element of humility.
Over at Granny Pilar’s, Elvis is in talking to the fish “Abuela”, the fish is actually much more affectionate to Elvis than the real Abuela. Dani comes in and she wants to go see a fertility doctor. The more she see the little spawn of “Isa and Rod”, the more convinced she is that lil Ricky is the spawn of “Isa & some unknown”.
The next day Gavi receives another gift from Rod, it is a brand new bottle of “Ardent Passion” the new Tequila…Actually it is quite the romantic gift. Dr Chuckles Blondie watches Gavi from the door with that totally lame love struck look on his face. He comes in and sees the bottle, he is like yeah nice. Nancy comes in and tells Gavi that Rod is on the phone. After pausing way too long, Blondie gets the hint and leaves. Rod and Gavi do some “I love you”, “no I love you” back and forth on the phone. I can see that Gavi is no fool and realizes she has to constantly reinforce Rod with things like “you are indeed the only man in my life”. This makes our boy happy. Oh please make the time past fast.
Fedra & Aaron are having breakfast in an outdoor restaurant. Aaron tells his mother Minnie really isn’t pregnant and they will buy, oops adopt an heir. Fedra is appalled at the thought of adoption, no doubt the mother will be an alcoholic or drug addict or crazy woman. I find it hard to believe that Fedra is not aware that “Helen Rojo” has left children at nearly every Catholic Church in Mexico City. Once you get the kids dry, they turned out to be fine little white children with great intelligence, stunning looks and had quite good morals, much better than Fedra’s own biological child.
Adoption doesn’t matter it is the means to an end. The end being the inheritance. Lacking a cell phone at the moment, Aaron is force to smash some toast to make his point.
Pat, Bruno & Rod are in Rod’s office admiring the new Tequila, by this point, my shot glass and I wish we could admire the new Tequila. Pat knows Dr Blondie, he starts telling Rod what a stellar guy, Blondie is. Bruno picks up on this and they start ragging on Rod, like Minnie pushing Isa’s buttons, the boys rile Rod up. All in good fun.
Dr Blondie is discussing some up coming trip with Gavi he questions why her name is not on the list. She states she didn’t know she was going. He wants her to accompany him. Gavi is less than thrilled, Dr Blondie, master of passive resistance, pulls the “Oh I guess it would make Engineer Montalvo mad” Okay I’ll just take Nancy. This makes Gavi, feel like a shirker & a wuss. Yeah it sounds like a cool party, but my boyfriend wants me to stay home. Dr. Blondie you are the devil. He says don’t worry I’ll talk to Av* (the head guy). Gavi say no that’s okay, I’ll do it. Dr. Blondie smiles, oh he just helped Gavi realize her own power.
Over at Granny’s, the servant is taking a delivery from the messenger boy. She shuts the big iron gate, the one the poor folks can’t see through so they don’t have to see how the rich folk suffer every time there is a “tortilla strike” in Mexico City and the price of corn meal goes up. Seriously you can see the tops of these house as you drive down the main street of “La Reforma” which run through Mexico City. Then you can see all the “regular Mexicans” who just got off work at the “big houses” waiting for buses. “The Free Market” at work.
Anyway the servant comes in and hands Frankie an envelope. Frankie is lying back on the couch with some device on his face, it is kinda scary like something out of one of those teen slasher films. He is getting a facial. (I’m sure the camera crew was howling while filming this, it is so distasteful, much like the pregnant belly shirt scenes). Frankie is also reading “El MetroSexual”, my personal suggestion for his next reading material would be “Sombrero de Culo”. Sofie inquires about his mail. It is an invitation to the Big Tequila function. “And Spouse?” Sofie asks. No, the invite is for just Frankie. Pilar comes wandering through and Sofie says she wasn’t invited. Pilar says call the CRT & see what happened. Frankie is laughing that finally he is gonna get to meet the famous Gaviota. Sofie is displeased.
Aaron comes in to chat it up with Rod, after some Tequila small talk, Rod demands Aaron return the 5 millones pesos he gave Onate. Bruno comes in and back Rod up, he says they decided Videgaray should resume his position and they need to get rid of Onate. Rod give the invitations to Bruno & Aaron, Bruno can’t imagine why the invitation doesn’t include Fedra. Aaron says asks MariAnne Frano, she has the answer. Rod snickers.
Minnie arrives at Isa’s apartment, Isa has just hung up from Sofie, oh no…none of the Ateam have been invited to the big Homecoming Dance.
Aaron is off in an office; he is talking sweet talk to someone on the phone, he gets another call. The new caller is Minnie, well good to see Aaron hasn’t let all his Amante, Wife, family problems & bad business decisions take away from his screwing around time. Aaron is such a multi tasker. Minnie asks if he got his invitation, Aaron says yes and no, Minnie is not invited. She starts making demands, but Aaron says focus on the task at hand. The task being, getting the inheritance. He tells her Fedra wasn’t invited either.
Now Aaron is back on the phone setting up a hook-up with some chick. Onate comes in and he tells Aaron why Elvira was fired. Aaron plans to send Onate off to an Island in the Caribbean where they will pass off Rum as Tequila. I think Aaron plans to steal Rod’s Tequila, or ruin him or something…I’m not really sure about the business stuff.
The four brujas are meeting about how to deal with the banishment of the CRT. Sofie is just such a little flying monkey, she doesn’t really protest, she just seems so accepting of whatever crap someone hands her.
Well the rest of the flying monkeys are not going to put up with it.
Nancy, Gavi & Blondie are having a meeting, the phone rings. It is Minnie. Dr. Blondie, man of deep running passions, says he’ll take the call. Gavi has her deer in the headlights look.
NOW THEN….my digital cable signal was lost….
But wait, I’ve got analog back up on VCR, but no closed captions…
So here goes….looks like Blondie tells Minnie he is well aware of the shunning and he supports it..
Ah MUY IMPACTED TIME.
The End
Looks like tomorrow SanWanna tracks Hil down…wearing a red dress (SanWanna, not Hil)
PS..I just want to say a shout out to the land of hair extensions, cause my Gawd, Minnie your hair has seriously got them goin on.

Loved the Pretty in Pink (or whichever John Hughes film that was) rehash. The bitchery among the Montalvo women is juvenile, but I love it.
Good call on "Av*". I should have done that long ago.

Great recap, as usual. oh, Beckster, you missed an imprtant last scene- el Doctorcito was passing the phone to Gavi to explain to Minnie why the snub- THAT should be interesting. This after my impression that he was to take the heat on this issue whe they were discussing the guest list. Also, aaron's temper tantrums are excellent- smashing toast, etc. Sergio and Chantal are the best actors in the cast. That little Roman is so macho. did he disown Hil because of the modeling, or is he still so pissed at Hil because the stableboy bred the mare in the stable? Don't really understand that completely. Isa is looking better each day. What happened to the bare midriff look while embarazada? Keep up the good work...doradodave

thanks for a fast recap!
anyone know what Elvis said at the dinner table to cause Minnie and Aaron to leave?

Beckster, a great and hilarious recap as usual. This was a good platform for the other characters to keep the subplots rolling along after we were able to indulge in several episodes of Gaviota and Rodrigo stealing the entire scene. I love it all.
Andrea-What I got out of Elvis' talk at the table was first that his family used strong rhythmic music to create a calm atmosphere at the dinner table. Dani quipped that they were probably not as wild as the Montalvos. Then Elvis really got Aaron's goat by saying he had a cousin just like Aaron. Whiteboy jerked his head around and asked how could that be (pretty racist ain't he) and Elvis smiling said "his character". Then to continue the fun and the snickering grins on Dani's, Isa's, and Rod's faces, Elvis added that this cousin also had a wife just like Minerva, inferring that she was a hightoned, trouble maker..... This was a great bit to show the arrogant couple at their haughty best.

ApplauseApplauseApplause. Beckster, I am in awe of the way your mind works and your way with words. I would so like to live next door to you. One of my best friends has a very similar sense of humor. We used to teach together in the same senior high....she got me in so much trouble in so many ways but she also kept me laughing continuously. She made up a lot of wild stories about me that she told the student teachers...sometimes even I started to believe them. You capture the characters' personalities and behaviors perfectly. I must quote a few of my favorite Becksterisms : '' ..being married to Rod has been like owning a Ferrari for 3 years and never getting to drive it.'' That would be excruciating for any mujer, no ????..so close...and yet...so far. I also enjoyed '' my shot glass and I wish that we could admire the new tequila''...again another case of ...so close...and yet...so far. In addition, I liked your description of AAron as ''a mulititasker.'' Yes, he can screw so many people in so many different ways at the same moment while at the same time smashing phones or toast or whatever is near at hand. I love the way he shoves people and grabs items out of their hands. Have you noticed that lately he is always squeezing Minnie's cheeks and slapping her on the butt ? He has given new meaning to the words-- egotistical cad. Finally, the reference to the Evil Mujeres as ''flying monkeys'' was perfect. I had visions of The Wizard of Oz.

Such a fun couple of episodes. Gavi cutting the coven out of the party - so juvenile but SOOOOOOOOO much fun. Talk about a group of women going slack jawed. It was hilarious. You know they lack the class to stay away and will try to crash which should be hilarious.
I will be eternally grateful to Rod and Elvis for not giving us another obscene picture to hang on the wall. I actual]y held my breath while Gavi opened the innocuous thing.
So true that Sergio and Chantal are stealing the show with their talent although Ana Patricia does a pretty good job of playing the dim witted Sofie. Usually she plays the Minnie type.

Thanks to Beckster for a mighty fine recap. I missed the episode because I had to work overtime unexpectedly. But between the recap and the comments, it feels like I saw it. I also loved the comment about Aaron's ability to multi-task. And for me, he looks good all the while. Decie girl, you are so right about the witches not having enough class to accept the fact that they were not invited. Your comment about dim witted Sophie also hit the nail on the head for me. I love how she's playing that role.

Thanks Beckster! You are the Queen of the twisted and I love the way you see things!! I just read the recap and had to toast you with a shot of tequila. It wasn't organic and I know it's early, but here's to you...

If anyone wants to see Eduardo in some of the other telenovelas he's been in, there are many clips of him on Youtube. His forte seems to be the kissing scenes. They say that everyone is good at something. Eduardo also seems to enjoy his work....he brings a certain enthusiasm and joie de vivre to these scenes. One can almost hear Ed thinking to himself, ''I cannot believe that I get PAID for doing this...Am I the luckiest hombre in the world or what!'' As career counselors say , ''Find something that you love doing and do it''---Eduardo seems to have found his niche. You go, Burly Bear. I think I understood him to say in one interview that he memorizes his lines in American films because he can't speak English.... so Ed, if you are reading this, I am offering free tutoring anywhere , anytime. I have loads of worksheets and books.

Awesome, Beckster. I'm not gonna watch the episodes on Mondays anymore, just read your recaps. Over at esmas.com, it looks like Pasion is recycling Destilando's hair extensions on several of its characters. (Fernando Colunga looks particularly terrible in them. Actors above a certain age should keep their hair short, IMHO) Like Destilando, Pasion also has a smashingly attractive Cuban --William Levy as a pirate named "El vasco." Not being a particular fan of costume dramas, it's hard to tell if this one's worth the time.
Susanlynn, skip the worksheets and books and head straight for the lab. That one on one, hands on learning is way more effective. MK

Thanks for the hilarious recap! Great stuff.
It’s interesting that LFMB was about an advertising firm, and yet the ads the award-winning Luigi created were embarrassingly amateurish. And now here we have a story about tequila producers, and they have come up with a really handsome bottle and a great-looking label. Some enterprising tequila company should buy the rights to the name and packaging.

Right on target, beckster! Thanks again.
Must be the time of year 'cause free association got me thinking of "Carrie" comparisons..... Anywho, I am still wondering if 1)Twerpy Tejeiros got to jump some TWB bones, too, or if Isa's generous check was enough to turn the dude to The Dark Side; 2) after all this hubub, did Twerpy manage to give her a little b.c. lecture, cuz it's gonna be hard as hell to explain a second "virgin" birth......

Question:
What did Elvis say to Aaron at the dinner table to make Aaron nearly choke and everyone snickering at the table?

"Lacking a cell phone at the moment, Aaron is forced to smash some toast to make his point." That was seriously funny, as was all of the recap.

Anon 7:58, to answer your question about what Elvis said to Aaron, look at the comment made by cherylnewmex at 11:40. I had wondered the same thing & she explained it well.

AN THE EMMY IN RECAPPING GOES TO... BECKSTER. I must say so, you have a great style and flair of writing.
I love it!
There is something that is so very
confusing to me , or I am just naive, ignorant, and miseducated.
(Being educated in the U.S. public
school system.) Being a newbie at
watching Latin programs. It is boogling my mind that there are so
many white folks placed in such important in Latin countries. I know DUH! However, I just can get it. And, this recap is just, Kinda
helping me realize this. It is truely like watching American soaps, save that their in spanish.
Are these people caucasin, or latin, or a mixture of many different genes. The latter is more
logically obvious. However, I guess I was expecting something different, India/Bollywood, Korean/K-dramas ect. Then in October'06 I channel surfed and came upon Jaime Camil on LFMB and was captivated. So, was I lusting on a caucasin man or a hot Mexican.
I naively thought the two were distinctly different.
Thanks

Good question...
90% of the Mexican populatin is mestizo or mixed..European & Native American and/or Black..there were slaves on the east coast.
Now then going way back..the wealthy people have been lighter skinned.
That is just the way it is. There are light skinned people in Mexico and esp. in Jalisco as it got a late influx of French..Germans etc..
My husband is from Mexico and I have been all over Mexico City..looking out the car windows..the light skinned few people I saw were by the huge park and looked like college students..so I guess they were probably foreign students. My in-laws laugh at me cause I always ask where are all the TeleNovela people, how come I don't see anyone that looks like that.
so actually the stories are accurate in that the wealthy people are usually very Anglo looking and the servants aren't it is just the way it is
