Gancho Friday August 21st Secrets, Lies and Luscious Thighs, or I Never Saw Lucy and Ethel do That
Our cute little Moni has played a number of daffy roles recently, such as a geisha and a Charlie Chaplin lookalike. Her hijinks have reminded us a lot of Lucille Ball. However, tonight she gets to play a role Lucy could never have tackled, given the television morals boards of the 50’s (didn’t Lucy and Desi sleep in twin beds?). Fortunately for us, things have loosened up a bit.
We begin with Beto, wearing his “Careful, I bite” T-shirt, about to spill the beans to Mauricio. Or is he? He starts “La Monita and I……”
Regina wants to talk to Moni, but Moni has nothing to say to her, exits in a rush. So of course, when Beto says La Monita and I are…..he pauses for a few seconds, just long enough for Moni to stride in and knock him out with a right cross! Mau can’t believe what she did, wants to call a doctor, as does Salvador, but Moni uses the tried and true nose-squeeze to bring Beto back.
But he’s not all the way back, as he first says Mauricio for Deputy, Salvador for Senator. Moni drags him to the coffee room, where he can’t even remember what he was going to tell Mau, starts babbling about la Flaquita (skinny, which they take to be Connie), prompting Moni to ready another punch to really clear his thoughts. Regi’s back for her talk with Moni, and Moni agrees, but not here, the space (el cupo) in the coffee room is limited.
Estrella, in a skimpy animal skin - cavegirl costume, is grinding into the pole at the gentlemen’s club, as Costeño’s enthralled, and Don Cesar’s appalled, although he starts to appreciate Estrella’s charms as well.
Regina (I’m going to call her Gina) wastes no time in telling Moni she knows the secret, that Beto is her novio. But she has no bad intentions, and she’s not following anyone’s orders, she’s just been Mau’s friend for a long time, and knows he doesn’t like lies. She tells Moni that if Moni doesn’t tell Mau the truth, she could lose not only him, but the kids, who are crazy about her. At this point, Mau happens to hear the voices through the door, and hears Gina tell Moni that Gina will keep quiet, and not reveal Moni’s “secret”.
Mau invites Gina to his office to talk. Before he can start questioning her, she asks what he feels for La Monita. He actually admits he could marry her, but there are two problems. First, she has a novio, and second, she has a secret which you, Gina, know about. So spill the beans. Gina won’t do it, as she promised she’d guard the secret. (Gina really is looking more and more like a good person. Maybe I was wrong with my no-decal-on-car meter.) Mau tries to get her to tell, but the phone rings, and she leaves.
Moni and Paula are discussing things in the coffee room. Paula’s not happy she has to pretend to be Beto’s novia, he could just ask to kiss her over and over, and she didn’t like his slimy kiss at all. Moni relates how Gina knows the secret, and has given her word not to tell Mau, but told Moni she herself should tell Mau. Paula reminds Moni she’s playing a dangerous game, because if you play with fire, you get burned (jugar con fuego, solo quedan cenizas, literally, playing with fire, only ashes remain).
Oscar, that sly charmer, tells Gabi he has to go on a business trip, but wants a goodbye night of love first. As Gabi goes for coffee, up walks Gina, and Oscar’s ready for conquest number 2. He kisses her hand, wants five minutes of her time. She’s too busy now, so he gives her his card. As she walks away, he leans over to check out her asspirations, to the consternation of a hidden but observant Gabi.
Beto and Costeño are sharing a drink in Beto’s place, Beto complaining that the wedding’s going to be expensive, especially since he wants to go to Las Vegas for the honeymoon. Costeño thinks Beto may have to use his body to earn money, as some others do. Upon Beto’s questioning, Costeño relates how he went to a strip club, and Estrella was dancing there. She was red hot! (al rojo vivo). Just outside the door, Nieves hears this, and hears Beto ask Costeño where the club was.
Luisa and Aldo are arguing about his lack of preparation for tomorrow’s entrance exam. Mau comes in, then Dani and Connie, and after Dani makes another of her cute remarks, the kids are off, and Connie has some alone time with Mau. She brags that she’s been helping Aldo, but since Aldo will now study on his own, she and Mau can take advantage of their time alone. She attacks Mau with a rabid, desperate kiss. Of course he pushes her away, and doesn’t seem too impressed when she says that for him or for his kids, she’s capable of murder.
Moni and Paula are doing the wash, mildly arguing about the situation at work, with everyone thinking Beto is Paula’s novio. Moni thinks that’s nothing compared to real problems, like where is Estrella? At this point, Nieves shows up, says she feels guilty about Estrella, and to make up for it, she knows where to find her.
Estrella’s dancing, but she doesn’t like all the grabby hands. She takes a short break, only to run into Moni, who asks what is she doing? Estre just hangs her head.
Gabi’s planning her goodbye evening with Oscar, who’s supposedly going on a business trip, but he tells her he has something else to do for a few hours, he’ll see her after that. He leaves her, and she’s concerned that he may be hiding something. Salvador sees Gabi, and asks if she’s crying. She’s surprised, says no, but you startled me, almost made me faint (casi me da un sincope). She just has a doubt she wants to clear up. But she thanks him, and gives him a quick little kiss on the lips, leaving him hopeful.
Moni pulls Estrella aside, telling her you can’t lower yourself like this, you’re an actress. Estre says she’s just acting a part, but Moni knows better. She asks about the good, sweet Estrella, the one who’s her best friend. That Estrella, says Estre, is dead, and she walks away. Moni’s phone rings, and it’s Mau, who asks why she’s crying. She says she’s not, just bumped her little finger (meñique). He says she’s lying. She says she has to hang up, she has visitors. Who, your uncle with the hemorrhoids? he asks sarcastically. Yeah, my uncle, and she hangs up, leaving him frustrated.
Of course, evil Oscar’s “thing” he had to do, was to meet with Regina. In a restaurant, she immediately knows he’s really trying to seduce her. Oscar wants to put his cards on the table. He “knows” she’s really after Mau’s money, and he’ll help her marry Mau, if she becomes his lover. She coolly plays along, as he says she needs a man like him, since she’s a woman who is cold and distant. He could light her fires. At this moment, Gabi walks in behind him, picks up the champagne bottle, and asks if the gentleman would like a refill. Thinking she’s the waitress, without looking back, he says fill ‘er up. He then is shocked to see Gabi, who after handing the champagne bottle to Gina, saying “allow me, dear”, picks up the ice bucket, and dumps the contents on Oscar’s head! Let me guess, says Gina. Your novio? My ex, is the reply, and he’s all yours. She’s outta there. Oscar says “how embarrassing” (qué papelón), but Gina douses him, too, with a glass of champagne, saying if you think I’m a cold woman, now you’re a frozen man, and she leaves the bum, who isn’t really too upset, and sits there, bemused, licking his lips.
Mauricio is deep in thought when Moni comes into his bedroom with his cappuccino. (I’m thinking something’s weird here). Anyway, he says he knows she has a secret, and she’s not leaving this room until she tells. She hems and haws, then agrees. Her secret is….she’s actually his brother, Juan Carlos Sermeño! (Hah!) Of course, it was a dream, and he wakes up, obsessed with Moni’s secret. What is she hiding?
It’s the next day, and Moni’s telling Paula how concerned she is about Estrella. Beto bounces in, sporting a T-shirt which says El Golfo de México, which has two meanings, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Lazy Bum of Mexico! He’s carrying a brochure of the party room they’re going to rent for the wedding. And he adds that he’ll get a black suit and shirt, and act as the host/comedian, to save money. Paula’s impressed, but Moni thinks the whole thing will cost too much, especially after Beto says he’s thinking 300 guests, 100 from the gym, 100 from work and 100 from the neighborhood.
Salvador checks in on Gabi at her desk. She’s visibly upset, but doesn’t want to tell him what’s wrong. He won’t press, but is there if she needs him. She stops him from leaving, hugs him tearfully from behind, when her phone rings. He tells her not to answer, and she DOESN’T (a telenovela first)! He says nothing is more important than this, leaning in to kiss her gently. She pulls away, he’s married, this is wrong, she needs to be alone. But, she adds, only for a few minutes, as their romance continues to build slowly.
Connie’s eating breakfast with Jerry and Oscar, and is exasperated with Aldo’s “teflon” brain, he doesn’t seem to retain anything. Oscar reminds her she’s boosting her image by playing the dutiful, helpful novia, but she thinks the kids have hated her from the start, and Aldo will never pass the test. No problem, says Oscar, we’ll just use a little fraud, and you’ll look like a hero (la buena de la película). Oscar has to catch his plane, so he cautions the others not to do anything stupid (good luck with that!), and leaves. Jerry says Oscar’s going to buy a lot of land and build a covered golf course, which sounds crazy even to Jerry. Connie’s impressed though, and Jerry’s jealous.
Moni brings Mau his morning capucchino. Will this be like his dream? Will she tell him her secret? Of course not. She resents his questioning, and maintains there is no secret. He says, fine, but if she doesn’t tell, she’ll be responsible for the consequences, and his patience is limited. She leaves, and I notice that once again, she has a very short skirt (brown), but with little shorts underneath, yellow to match her sweater. She’s had a number of outfits like this, and I was at a party recently where a young lady was apparently wearing a scandalously short skirt, but a gust of wind revealed there were shorts underneath. So maybe this is a fashion trend. Salvador comes in, and Mau says he wants to know if Moni leaves. Should Sal follow her? No, Mau wants to do it himself.
In the coffee room, Beto’s gorging himself on pastries, while planning the menu for the wedding. Moni enters and hits him on the head, he should be working, not spending all day planning the wedding. He’s not deterred, he finished the guest list, the gifts, next up is the wedding dress. She reminds him that’s HER job. She’s a little short with him, and he wonders what’s wrong. She says she’s worried about Estrella, and he says let her be, but Moni suddenly gets an IDEA, and bounds into action. Salvador sees her get into the elevator, and notifies Mauricio.
Well, Beto, having stuffed his face, needs to stuff his pockets, so he barges into Jerry’s office to ask for a loan for the wedding. Jerry flat out refuses, so Beto (after first looking around for hidden cameras) suggests a job, one of those shady deals (chanchullos) Jerry likes. Well, Jerry does have just such a job. He asks if Beto has scruples, and Beto doesn’t think so, but he did have mumps (paperas) once. Fine, welcome to the club, says Jerry, holding his nose as he declines Beto’s handshake (Beto thinks he has a cold).
At the strip club, Moni enters through a red door to pounding disco music. She immediately pushes up her bust, primps her hair, purses her lips, and hand on hip, slithers up to the man in charge. She tells him she’s a friend of Estrella’s, and purrs that she wants to talk to the manager in private. She sexily follows him to his office. A few seconds after she’s out of view, who should arrive but Mauricio! (yeah, big surprise).
To the pounding music of Sexy, Sexy Smile, Estrella mounts the stage, grabs the pole, and Mauricio is muy impactado! Estrella, who doesn’t see him, crawls along the stage, kicking up her legs, and Mau’s hands cover his mouth in disbelief. But he ain’t seen nuthin’ yet! A new dancer comes up to join Estre, wearing a cowboy hat, gold boots and not much else. It’s Monita! Actually she’s also wearing a gold skirt and a blue and white fringed bra. I notice that Estrella has a feather, so maybe she’s an Indian Princess. Cowboys and Indians was never this much fun!
Estrella is surprised to see Moni, and asks what Moni’s doing there. Same as you, is the answer, as they banter back and forth, while doing synchronized dance moves, such as squatting, putting their knees together and then apart, kicking their feet in the air. It’s really quite comical to hear them arguing while going through the put-on, sexy motions, the crowd oblivious to their discussion, whooping and cheering. Moni tells her either we both leave, or I’ll stay. Fine, let’s stay says Estre. Meanwhile, Mauricio (who can’t hear any of this) is shaken to the core – so THAT’s what Moni’s secret was! He leaves, and Moni makes a remark about how turned on the men are, which makes Estrella a little embarrassed, and she walks off quickly and starts sobbing in the dressing room. Moni finds her, and begs her to come home, she knows Estre’s going through a bad time, but she can always count on Moni. Then you’ll help me? asks Estre tearfully? Of course, what are best friends for? They hug.
Jerry has just the job for Beto. He calls a teacher, Professor Nuñez, and pretending (to Beto’s mild shock) to be Mauricio, asks the prof just how much he requires for a little push concerning Aldo’s entrance exam!
Gabi is carefully (it’s just the way she is) ripping up Oscar’s picture, strip by strip. Sal wants to console her, but she’s through with men. Maybe she’ll buy a dog. Mauricio enters the office, Salvador greets him, but Mau is burning mad, doesn’t want to talk to anyone.
Back in the vecindad, Moni is walking Estrella back, as Nieves comes out to let Estrella have a piece of her mind. She wants no more trashy behavior from Estrella. Whatever goes on behind closed doors, that’s no problem, but behave yourself in the common areas. Estrella meekly agrees, but after Nieves leaves, she shakes her fist at her. Moni calms her down, and surprises her with the news that Nieves was the one who asked about Estrella, and helped find her.
Gina enters Mau’s office, she has to leave to go to the United States for a few months (hold the applause, didn’t I predict she’d leave in my comments to yesterday’s post? Course, I seem to have been wrong about whether she was bad or good. Oh well). Anyway, Mau says he knows Moni’s secret. Gina (who of course, knows the REAL secret) thinks it’s no big thing. It’s normal. What? replies Mauricio. It’s normal to live a double life, to serve cappuccino in the morning, then go dance nude in a dive? Why did she lie? Gina doesn’t say any more, he’ll just have to clear it up with Moni, she has to leave. Mauricio thanks her for being a good friend, and they hug.
Luisa is yelling at Aldo, what do you mean you’re not going to take the test? Aldo thinks it’s pointless, but Connie comes in, and Aldo thanks her but his mind is made up (he says I have la persiana cerrada, which means the blinds are closed). Connie says you’re going to go the exam, and you’re going to pass. Trust me, as she winks knowingly.
Back in the office, it’s time for more malentendidos (misunderstandings), as Paula enters with some tea for Mauricio. Mau asks her to shut the door, and here’s what they say:
M: I now know what Moni does when she’s not in the office, her other profession, her other job, what would you call it?
P: You mean, you know that she’s a
M: Yes, yes, and I don’t understand why she didn’t tell me.
P: Well, understand her, it’s not easy for her to tell, very few people would understand, you know? It’s not very common for a woman to go up and
M: Yes, yes, I know it, Paula, what hurts is that La Monita didn’t trust me. I would be incapable of judging her.
P: Then, it doesn’t matter to you that she….You really care for her, no?
M: Thanks for the tea, you can leave now.
In the coffee room, where Beto’s devouring some chicken, Jerry enters, gives Beto a sealed envelope to deliver to Professor Nuñez, along with some cash as Beto’s fee. Beto burps, starts asking what’s in the envelope, and Jerry says you don’t need to know. Beto then has second thoughts, he likes Mauricio, doesn’t want to mess things up for him. Jerry threatens him, he could have Beto fired, no job, no wedding, so shut up and do your job. Beto’s not scared, thinks Jerry would come out worse. Jerry’s fed up, grabs the envelope, and demands the cash, too. Nope, that’s payment for my silence, now get out! Jerry’s messed up again. He gathers up the chicken as a consolation prize, but I think Beto has proven who’s the wiser. As soon as Jerry gets out of the room, he dumps the disgusting (to him) chicken in Paula’s trash cart. Back in the room, Beto’s not upset about the chicken, with this money he can buy a hundred more chickens, and still have money left for a few sticky buns (chongos).
Moni arrives at work, tells Paula Estrella’s okay, but Paula says we’ve got a problem. Mauricio knows you’re a boxer! I was in his office and he told me. He was so mad, my legs were shaking. In walks Mauricio with a very stern expression on his face. Valentina, come to my office, please, we have to talk. Uh oh!
And Monday looks incredible! There’s more heat with Beto and Connie. But that’s not all. Apparently Estrella and Moni get jobs acting in a period telenovela, and Mauricio rides in on a horse! He takes her in his arms, and…….Well, we’ll just have to wait ‘til Monday to find out the rest!

Wow, this was the best recap of the best episode ever. I absolutely adored the scene of the girls having their "discussion" while doing the bump and grind. It was brilliant.
By the way Hombre, I still agree with your original observation that Gina is on the bad side as symbolized by her car not being sponsored. There is still a lot of TN left.

Hombre, very nice job. Very funny as well as clarifying. Too bad that Gina is leaving, but I guess it's for the best since she seems to be way ahead of the other geniuses in this madhouse and could spoil some of our fun. Maybe she'll be back for a little auto racing.
I loved Gina's and Gabi's double-teaming of Oscar, but give him credit, he handled it with aplomb. Maybe this wasn't his first such experience. Satisfying nonetheless.
So good that Estrella is back with her friends. Once again, problem solved within two episodes. This show is a godsend for those of us with short attention spans.

Very nice recap Hombre. Your reference to how Lucy and Ethel never got to play strippers was funny as well. It will be interesting to see if Regina does return and fulfills your prediction of being bad.
Also, thanks for your recap Sylvia. It was fun and I enjoyed you telling us the monkey pun throughout the show.
Judy - (from a few days ago) LOL, Ok only because you insist, I will see Amor Real. Currently I can't and as I stated I had been concerned about Manuel as he doesn't start off as the best galan.

Karen, yes...Manuel does bad things. He's angry and jealous (and at the beginning had reason to be) and he's also very hurt. And we know the old saying "Hurt people hurt people" And he does.
That being said, it's a fascinating telenovela and all the actors are terrific. (Have a big box of kleenex handy though for some episodes).

Now Hombre, you sassy devil...slipping in that "checking out her 'asspirations'....maybe you should be a writer on this show also.
Want to thank you for that absolutely stellar vocab list. I got to be lazy again knowing you'd check everything out for me. Muchas gracias for a well-paced very funny recap of a good show.
And yes, Carlos, just right for us short attention span folks. And I don't care for long-term angst either. Solve it, wrap it up and just move on. Wish I could do that in real life.
Gina? Can't decide. Sylvia says bad. Hombre says good. She sure seemed on the up and up in this one.

Hombre, I had to pause after reading your title to try to imagine Lucy and Ethel doing a pole dance - in '50s attire no less!!
Great recap. Add me to the list of those with short attention spans. (Now what was I saying???) Oh yeah, I really enjoy the writing of all the recappers. If somebody would pay y'all some big dinero, betcha you could come up with the best telenovela yet.

Hombre, I forgot to say that I love love love your title. It rocks.
Oscar's water-dumping scene reminded me of that old Cher/Nick Cage movie Moonstruck, one character kept dating much younger women and every time he took them to dinner at the local Italian restaurant they would end up throwing wine in his face. Since it happened so often nobody at the restaurant was ever fazed by it.

Thanks, Hombre. I must remember to watch on Monday. Karen, I agree with Judyb, you must watch Amor Real. Even though Manuel is a galan with anger management issues, he eventually redeems himself and becomes a sterling hero...and there are great love scenes...and tub scenes,,,and love-in-the-tub scenes. I picked up a new copy of Alborada at the mall today [mine has problems] and almost bought Corazon Salvage [?] because so many people here have mentionned it. As I was leaving the video store, I ran in to a former student from Colombia wearing a veil. She told me she was getting married...today ! p.s. Cap'n Sylvia~~~Did you know that Eduardo Yanez will be a ~~~PIRATE~~~in his next novela...yo-ho-ho-that will be one big pirate.

I also hope Regina will be back. After all, she said she had to go to the U.S. for a few months. And since (I think) this was just episode 44 (out of over 200!), we'll have plenty time for her. Also, I noticed in the credits another actor from Tontas. Don't know when we'll see him, but it'll be interesting to see if he plays the same type of part he played on that show, in which he seemed to have a gay old time.
Hombre, great job! I thought I'd seen the name Manuel "Flaco" Ibanez in the credits, aka Tio Meno from Tontas.
Now to mimic Ximena, tres cosas:
Uno, it was fun to watch Monita and Estrella doing their "wild thang" on the stage. Seemed to me Monita had better moves than Estrella but that's hardly a complaint. We had an admin once who'd been a dancer down in Norfolk. She said it was not uncommon for her to make $4000 in tips in the first weekend after a Navy battle group came back from deployment. I asked her if she declared it all on her Form 1040 and she went stupid on me. Anyway...
Dos, I find Paula's Transitions lenses to be most alluring. I wonder if they're also progressives though she's rather young for that.
Tres, do you wonder what Nieves', Estrella's, Paula's and Monita's washday secret is? Their garments look like new at all times, the colors so vibrant, while they have but a communal concrete trough in which to launder their delicate knits and other fine washables.
Finally, here is the secret to Oscar's success with the ladies.

Susanlynn - I promise I will watch Amor Real. Thanks for your comments.
Mike - that Wildroot commercial is a hoot and oddly enough does fit oily Oscar.

Haha! Mike what a scream. It's definitely Oscar.
Susanlynn, Eduardo Yanez is going to be a pirate? I'm trying to cut down on my telenovela habit and you give me that news? You know I have no willpower and will not be able to resist. Can't wait!

Boy, what funny comments. You really inspired everybody, Hombre. Maybe we should all adopt the "three things" format.
There's a Wildroot character on ENDA also. And who can forget Fernando on Fea?... but I eventually came to love that look (and everything else about that actor in THAT role).
So Tio Meño is coming on? Hey, maybe Beto will think that's Mauricio's new flame....

Great recap Hombre! I liked the scene of the girls dancing but I thought the music was not appropiate for those type of places, it seemed like a pop song, it took me off of the scene for a moment.
I didn't comment on this last time, but I really like Aldo's new hair, he looks so much better now.
Eduardo Yañez is working on the new remake of Corazón Salvaje, wich is filming now in Veracruz. A friend of mine went to see the taping of a scene a couple of days ago and she was delighted by the costumes.

I saw part of the first episode of the new Corazon Salvage with English subtitles on Youtube. It looked very good. I also found some interviews with Eduardo Yanez about it. It looks like he has let his hair grow really long for the part. I also watched some scenes from the original with a very young Edith Gonzales. I am cautiously optimistic about this one even though I thought FC would have been good in the lead. I did some investigating into Sortilehgio, too, because I love Carla Estrada's novelas, but Jackie N., William Levy, and Gab Soto just do not do it for me. However, I may watch to see my telenovio Marcelo Cordoba and my fav villain Chantal Andere...there's just something about that girl that I love to hate.

I love the version of Corazón Salvaje made in 1993. It has my favorite Juan (Eduardo Palomo), my favorite Aimeé (Ana Colchero)and I think it was the best take on the story out of all the adaptations.
Every version so far has been good and has had great cualities, hopefully this one will be good in spite of all the changes the are bring made to the story, and the fact that Salvador Mejia is producing it.
I do not like Sortilegio, there has been some talk about putting another novela called "Mi Pecado" in the time Sortilegio has now (the much desired "stellar hour": 9pm), it is from the writing team behind Cadenas de Amargura (the original ENDA) and Cañaveral de Pasiones, and they are getting much better reviews, but so far they are respecting the time for Sortilegio and Mi Pecado was changed to a better hour to please its audience.

Mike, loved the Wildroot commercial. I used to use Brylcreem in 1962. I always wanted to get the front of my hair to stand up, like the movie stars. This all changed when the Beatles came out.
I've also noticed how nice the outfits of the supposedly poor people are. Not only are they amazingly clean, they're different every day. Realistic, no. Fun to watch? Absolutely.

Hombre, oh yeah, I had my mandatory tube of Brylcreem, too. Had a few dimples in it by 1965 when my freshman roommate showed me the tragic result of using that stuff to excess. Ick. Not pretty. Gave it up real quick after seeing his pillowcase everyday for a school year. Greasy kid stuff if ever there was such a thing!
Really, Wildroot was a fixture on barbers' back bars along with Clubman talc and the glass canister full of blue liquid for their combs. All that's still there but I can't remember the last time I've actually seen Wildroot used.

Hombre: The level of detail you included in this superb recap was absolutely incredible. So many witty comments and I especially enjoyed "la Flaquita" and "Moni uses the tried and true nose-squeeze to bring Beto back:. :)
Loved your vocabulary (list and embedded), especially the homage to heat: "red hot (al rojo vivo" and "if you play with fire, you get burned (jugar con fuego, solo quedan cenizas, literally, playing with fire, only ashes remain)". Excellent!
I'm with Sylvia - I still think Gina is up to no good.
Loved Beto getting the best of Jerry (love anyone and everyone getting the better of Jerry).
I cannot wait to see EY in the CS remake. My personal BLMOE.

As we discuseed, I've lost interest in these latest novelas,and am all into baseball & soon football...However,come this new novelas "Corazon" with Eduardo Yanes & the most beautiful actress on novelas Aracely, I'll be in on that one,once it airs here..
Eduardo is too old to play this character played by the deceased Eduardo Palomo..,I remember seeing that novela many years ago...Am I right or wrong?

EXPORTRED, great to hear from you again. I look forward to you joining in on the new Corazon Salvaje. I'm ashamed to admit I never saw the version with Eduardo Palomo but judging by the clips on youtube he was exceedingly hot. I guess I should watch the DVD even though it is extremely edited. Everybody says EY is too old for the part but I suppose I will watch and make up my own mind. He is not my fave telenovela galan but I always give the actors a new hall pass with each new telenovela. Then there is the PIRATE theme which as you all know is irresistable to me.
Fabulous title hombre and as always hysterical comparisons and details.
I loved Beto's shirt and the casual strip conversation. That was something else with those deep knee opening bends, yeow!!
Thanks Hombre!
