Pasión y poder, Episode 115, Thursday, March 31: Of cakes and fakes and folks on the take
Nina lashes out at Consuelo
The sight of Consuelo leaning on Arturo for comfort is more than Nina can bear. [Maybe Nina remembers when she was the one taking tearful refuge in Arturo's arms the last time Chimp Boy was in the hospital.] If the younger woman wants to see her son, Nina tells her bitterly, let her visit him at the mansion – especially if she continues to hang out with that dangerous chimp-beater, Miguel.
Consuelo protests that Miguel would never hurt a child, especially her son. Nina isn't so sure: Behind his gloomy, hypocritical face (cara de mustio) lurks a psychopath! [But I think she's only saying that because she's a narcissist.]
¡Ya basta, Nina! says Arturo. Miguel was only defending Consuelo.
"Whose side are you on?" Nina wants to know.
"I'm on the side of both of my sons because I love them both."
Nina doesn't buy it. It's Miguel's fault that Chimp Boy is languishing in the hospital. [And it's Arturo's fault that he isn't languishing in the reclusorio, but Agustín isn't around to remind them of that.]

El Hotel de los Secretos #45, 3/30/16: Sweet Sorrowful Achlys! Has Anybody Not Cried In This Episode?
At a glance
-- Everybody hurts. Everybody cries. Sometimes.
-- Ángela's dead hubby and fake daddy to her Andrés is alive. He has been blackmailing his ex-wife/widow for years.
-- Alfredo demands the title deeds of the lands bequeathed to him in his father's will.
-- Isabel tries to talk to her mother about the necklace she found but she chickens out. She also rejects her husband's sexual advances for the umpteenth time.
-- Dr. Vicario suggests that Sofía be interned in a sanatorium but Teresa gets riled up and throws him out of her room.
-- The fancy hoes bond with the local not-so-fancy hoes at the cantina.
-- Felipe is seized by Jorge Arenas and his gang.
-- Benjamín wears a cilice under his uniform. Say whaaaat?
A closer look
Darkness has befallen the mean streets of San Cristóbal. A weary traveller coughs up tiny chunks of lung as he asks a passerby about a certain Rufino Barragán. However, it appears that Rufino went to a better place or, to be more accurate, he was sent there (lo pasaron a mejor vida). The stranger explains to the passerby that, before getting dispatched to the Big San Cristóbal in the sky, Rufino Barragán used to deliver some letters on his behalf to the head housekeeper of the Gran Hotel, Doña Ángela Gómez. Rufino was paid handsomely for his services but now that he is, ahem, unavailable, coughing stranger will have to find himself a new courier. *Hint hint*

Sueño de amor #16 3/30/16
Here we go!!!! I started this late and will deal with typos later today.
I have to admit I would have loved to have been one of the kids in the "ataque" scene. Anyway, tonight we have the appearance of Carmen Salinas as Margarita Manzanares the principal of Instituto Vasconcelos. She is a hoot with her famous "Oooooh" which always reminds me of George Takei of Star Trek fame and his famous "Oooooh". Anyway, . . .
We see Esperanza scoop up Selena as Selena presses the fire alarm button. The school is evacuated and Ricardo is saved from his embarrassing fate eventhough as luck would have it he has to rescue and carry Pámela out who is having a panic attack. As the teachers and students congregate outside of the school, Tracy plants a big kiss on Ricardo to mark her territory just so Esperanza can see and she does.
In the meantime at Ernesto's house, Ernesto is warning his lackey Murillo that he better contact Tracy and make an appointment with her for him or he will lose his job and by the way (since Murillo is in the middle of a coughing jag) he should stop smoking those damn cigarettes.

El Hotel de los Secretos #44, 3/29/16: Hidden Charms
· Belen bumps into Diego on the way to the police station and gets waylaid. He forces her to watch the Double’s informal burial on the side of the road. Belen blubbers as Garrido digs. Diego shoots Garrido dead and blames Belen as the devil what made him do it. He then tells her to start running and essentially not to stop till she’s far, far away.
· Andres, pigheadedly insists Belen will magically appear again. He persuades Natalia to fetch the town padre. He has the priest, Mama Angela, Julio and Natalia there for the supposed wedding. Our stubborn stand-up guy gets stood up. Belen doesn’t return and nobody knows where she’s gone, tho’ Angie does suspect at least one reason why she split. (Good riddance to ungrateful, money-grubbing garbage! Viewerville has the feeling, though, that like flies to feces, she won't be able to resist the temptation to return for Andres and to get hitched and thus lay claim to his inheritance once again.)

Chapter
113: Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth
Errant
children can be a great equalizer even after they are legally adults.
They bring out both the best and the worst in their parents. It has
been said that the rich and the poor are very alike when such things
happen. And there are certainly things that money of whatever age
cannot fix. – D.D.
Arturo
had seen Daniela's test results: positive for cocaine. She was her
usual petulant self, telling him to leave her alone and trying to
leave. He didn't allow her to do this. In her usual bid for
attention she tried to claim he didn't care about her. For all that
she was actually twenty-one years old she had the attitude of one
half that age. When he told her she was not alone and that he would
take her to the rehab center she looked as though she were facing her
execution.
“Daddy,
daddy, you can't do this to me. Let me do another test. I'm sure it
was wrong.”
But
Arturo was having none of this. He told her he was taking her to
rehab and that was that. He did not allow her to leave with her
friend. He insisted that he was taking her home to her mother then
to the rehab center.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #15. Tuesday March 29, 2016. Yes You Caught My Ex With Her Tongue Down My Throat But She Doesn't Mean A Thing To Me! I Luuurve You!
At a glance
-- Luca's ex is back in town. She puts the kibosh on the PatoLuca pairing on the day of her arrival. Now, this is what I call a self-respecting villana.
-- Erasmo is fired then rehired by Mario.
-- Kracy and Principal Crazy-Eyes form the League of Extraordinary Crazies.
-- Kracy warns Esperanza to stay away from her Reecherd. Ernesto tries to pump Pato for info about Esperanza and Ricardo. Ernesto wants to ally with Kracy in order to keep the star-crossed lovers apart.
-- Still no valid explanation for Ricardo's 20-year-long disappearing act. Just something about a passer named El Coyote and six people lost in the desert.
A closer look
We begin tonight’s foray into Sueñolandia with Ricardo’s appointment as the new PE teacher of the Musturd School for The Emotionally Stunted, or Colegio Vasconcelos as Osorio prefers to call it.
Mario Kuri, the mascot for kitty-whipped husbands everywhere, fires recently-promoted Erasmo.

The Three Stooges inaugurate their sandwich stand for tortas de chilaquiles or chilortas outside the two schools. Childhood obesity isn’t gonna foster itself. They give away the first chilortas for free, then sell the others at half price. They incur a significant loss and fear that the grand opening will soon be followed by a grand closing.

Pasion y Poder #112 20160328 Your Honor, I Was Raped Last Night, I Might Be Pregnant, and It's Making Me Very Horney
*In front of the judge, Connie accuses Erick of rape. The judge says no police report plus no rape kit equals no rape. He can't consider her accusation without proof.
*Gina asks Miguel how the custody case is going. Miguel doesn't know because Auggie suggested that he to stay away from Connie. Neither the judge nor Erick appreciate him coveting his brother's wife. Since, he's socially awkward he didn't get the memo about this being generally frowned upon by most of the world, so he'll have to take Augustin's word for it.
*Dave and Dani are still in bed together. Dave tells Dani that she can be herself around him. Don't change for me, he says. Translation: in manspeak he's saying that he's attracted to Angelina Jolie, not Jennifer Aniston. He likes him a a little dirty girl. Dani assures him that deep inside, she has always been the "Disney years Miley Cyrus" and not the "the Wrecking Ball and twerkin' Miley Cyrus". Matter of fact, she's a virgin too. Dave buys this because he's stupid. Dani tells him that she loves him and wants him to like her "different" than her sister. He assures her that he will.

Sueno de amor, #14 - 03/28/16 P.E. Teacher needed - Requirements: good looking guy, with great body, killer smile and very complicated family life
Happy belated Easter to those who celebrated this weekend. I hope you all rested, filled your tummies and got ready for a new week of Sueno de amor (and other regular activities, you know).
This felt like a filler episode, so I kind of rambled a lot. Looking forward to your ramblings in the comment section.

This felt like a filler episode, so I kind of rambled a lot. Looking forward to your ramblings in the comment section.
We
pick up right from where we left off, with Ernesto and Ricardo’s piss contest fight
about who is the better man.
Ernie
pretends that he has no clue about the guy who was following Ric ; so what
if he was his employee, he doesn’t care what his personnel does outside of office
hours. And he won’t take this interrogatory anymore. What is Ric, a cop? No, he’s
just a mere teacher, Ernie adds with contempt.
Well, Esperanza is just a teacher, too, and you still fell in love with
her, Ric counter-attacks. Ernie proudly agrees and not only that, but he and Espe also share a child. Yeah, one that
he abandoned, Ric points out. Things degenerate and a fight is about to erupt,
but Super Spy is definitely the better fighter, managing to twist Ernie’s hand
and kneel him at the same time. As he walks out, Ric adds that he won’t leave
Esperanza’s side anymore and he’s definitely not afraid of Ernie (who's screaming for security at the point).
Patoluca
are still post bliss (not that kind of bliss, thankfully). She’s in awe over
his amazing-ness (what else is new?). He always finds ways to scare her to death provoke her, she
didn’t even have the time to prepare (did she by any chance wet her pants
during the jump? I know I would have). Luca assures her that they were safe
the whole time and, besides, he would never hurt her.
This
last statement gives Pato the sads: yeah, maybe he would never hurt her intentionally, but she can’t forget the fact that he’s about to go away for a long
time (if only he could go faster). He reassures her that they will be OK – he loves
her and yada yada yada ... smooches smooches smooches….

El Hotel de los Secretos #43, 3/28/16: The key. Remember the key?
Felipe asks Garrido where he can get a lot of wine for cheap. Garrido recommends a guy named Jorge Arenas. Felipe needs an introduction. He swears it will be worth Garrido's trouble. They take off to meet with Arenas.
Teresa asks Diego to prepare a discreet burial for Baby #1. He picks up the phone, then pauses. We don't need a funeral.
Isabel stands in the hallway in yet another white dress. She sees wet Julio hustling out of Cecilia's room as Cecelia's voice calls from the other side of the door, "don't be a coward." Isabel makes as if to knock, but Mateo materializes behind her to say that Mrs. Limantur is waiting in the garden to meet her for breakfast. Also, a maid named Emelia needs help reading a letter. Isabel agrees to read them the letter on the way to the garden. (Standard letter-from-Mom stuff. Mom can write, but she doesn't know that Emelia can't read?)
Sofia looks bad. She knows what she did. She can't even look at the dead baby on the bed and she slides the bedroom door shut behind her without turning around. She leans (actually, sort of rubs up in a creepy way) against the door to the hallway and pleads, "come back, come back." Wow, that'll be a fine sight for Alfredo to come home to.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 6 (March 28, 2016)
---And Baby Makes Four, or Three, or Two, But Not One
Our ethical, dedicated, handsome and hopelessly in love Dr. Carlos, is on the horns of a well-calculated, well-timed dilemma, not of his own making. With the announcement of the (fake) pregnancy of his very recently ex-girlfriend, he has various outcomes staring at him.
1) There is a baby. He doesn't want to give up Fernanda, but his mother and Isabela are ready to take over the management of his relationships. Fernanda breaks up with him because she believes he must "do the right thing" by the baby. There will be wedding bells in his not too distant future.
2) There is a baby. He just can't give up Fernanda. He defies his mother. He begs Fernanda not to break up with him. They love each other madly, deeply. He is certain they can work this out and still be together. She agrees to stand by him.
3) There is no baby. He will try desperately to prove its non-existence. He begs Fernanda not to break up with him until there is solid proof, one way or another. If there is no baby, he won't have to give up Fernanda and his mother, Marissa, will finally be convinced Isabela wasn't right for him, or for her.
With time, 1 & 2 will be eliminated, but this week, he doesn't know that. Isabela says she doesn't expect anything of him (and that is as fake as the pregnancy). Marissa wants a wedding as soon as possible--with Isabela, of course, and to end his relationship with Fernanda, of course.
What will he do? How does he tell Fernanda? What does he tell Fernanda? What is the right thing to do?
This is not the CAMINO we wanted to take, but we will have to follow along and see where it goes. Tune in and see (7 pm).

Weekend Discussion: Crimes of Fashion, 4th Edition 3/25/16
There
is so much Stürm
und Drang among the denizens of the DF upper crust that it seemed
appropriate to understand why these emotional conflicts exist. A few of
the women in the midst of this conflict might have made their lives
better – in their own minds – with better fashion choices. It
was only the sudden death of Monserrat Moret that made Nina Perez de
Montenegro the main focus of this latest edition. She is no Ann
Grenville in money matters and even now still has much to learn of
fashion in the world she hopes to stay in.
Thanks
to Soledad Romero-Vargas, our fashion critic here at Vanidades,
we bring you these fashion felonies. Enjoy.

Pasión y poder, Episode 111, Thursday, March 24, 2016: Okay, maybe I AM jealous!
It's been a while, hasn't it? I've just come home from an extended and rather bittersweet visit with family. We decided to drive this time, and as we made our way towards Boston, I imagined rolling down the window and shouting out to my CarayCaray friends somewhere south of our path – JudyB and Susanlynn and Diana, just to name a few. (Of course I kept my thoughts to myself. I'm not sure Mr. Maven would get it, or not entirely.)
I've now caught up with our imaginary PyP crowd I think, thanks in no small part to the fabulous recaps here (and no thanks at all to the brain trust at Univisión, which is still playing chicken with my television provider, ATT U-Verse*). I'm especially grateful to Urban Anthropologist for taking on last Thursday and doing her usual impeccable job.
I think this is tonight's episode. Fingers and toes duly crossed.
*Update – Yay! Univisión and ATT have kissed and made up! Will any of the fools on the screen do the same?
Arturo is where we left him last night, still fulminating.

Sueño de amor, Ep #13 (3.24.2016) Surprises and secrets and plans, oh my!
I want to make this worthy of your time, so I will be brief.
♪ ♫ Virgen de la paz, te amo, ven a mí, junto a mí
Virgen de la paz te quiero, siempre escuchas tú mi ruego ♪ ♫
Sweet mother of Jesus,
Give us the wisdom of the Holy Spirit so we can own and administer your gifts and know how to multiply them and share them will all the people you put in our paths. Amen
Se consigue más con miel que con hiel
Ricardo has a plan and Pato is the perfect ally. Of course we never get to know anything they tell each other. You can get more with honey than with gall sounds true when you see Pato getting closer to Ricardo than to her biological father, Ernesto de la Colina. Now, regarding the love advice, that's another story, like asking Oprah for a diet that works but who am I to judge? I wouldn't trust Ricardo with a plastic butter knife, but anyway, now that Luca is going away to Járvar, she doesn't want to wait 20 years for him to come back (cough) she will miss him. The distance shouldn't kill the love dream they have. It worked for him. Pato will always have skype (please sponsor us-wink).
After knowing that Neto had something to do with Pato's scholarship, Pera gets very upset, because she doesn't want to owe favors to anybody. Even if that ''anybody'' owes her 17 years of child support. He insists saying that no matter what, they will be together one day as a family.
In the meantime, in the middle of some street in CDMX, a skipping Erasmo hugs Kristela, sealing their relationship.
After Esperanza did the recording gig on Silvana and she almost lost her job, now she sleeps with her one good eye open and has started to play Big Sister checking the closed circuit videos so she can reverse Esperanza's trick with evidence to fire her, assuming that the romance between our protagonists is true, and believe me, it is. Maybe Ricardo can hack this system and watch Pamela closely to know La Sombra's whereabouts.

Another of your blog mom's projects: tshirts of a little guy in a stovepipe hat
I don't, as you know, make any money off this blog, but that doesn't mean I don't try to make money elsewhere! I'm interested in your opinions: could a character this obscure be popular today? Let me know what you think in the comments! Thanks!
I love old pop culture. I've been bringing back to life Samuel Zagat's early 20th century comic strip called "Gimpel Beynish the Matchmaker." Gimpel was wildly beloved by the people of New York City's Lower East Side. Gimpel, that shlemiel, seldom succeeded in anything he did, yet he never got discouraged and his self-esteem was unimpaired. That must have been very heartening for folks struggling to make a buck.
You can see the comics as I clean them up and translate them, here: GimpelBeynish.com and also see two books of his comics which I've published.
Wondering if Gimpel could be loved by the modern world too, I just make a couple Gimpel tshirts. They are only $14.99. Click on either picture to see more colors and styles...
1. An impoverished millionaire turns his pockets inside out
2. Gimpel visits the high seas during World War I, falls in the ocean and is rescued by a submarine. Here is is looking through the periscope!
Thanks!
