Silvia Pinal, the legendary Mexican actress passed away today at the age of 93, bequeathing a career that can be summed up in one word: ART.

In the vast library of Latin American culture, Silvia Pinal is not just a chapter or an encyclopaedia: she is an entire bookshelf. Few figures have been so versatile, managing to cover every corner of culture: cinema, theatre, television, cabaret, painting, politics, music, dance... the list is endless.

Silvia Pinal was born on September 12, 1931, on the eve of the celebration of Mexican Independence Day, a direct descendant of father founder priest Hidalgo, her destiny was marked to become an icon of the country.

As a child she studied opera and acting at Bellas Artes. Before she was 18, she had already participated in a beauty pageant, acted in radio soap operas, dabbled in experimental theatre and played minor roles in films.

In the 1950s, she established herself as a central figure in our cinema. Her theatrical training allowed her to shine in dramatic roles, comedies and musicals. Between 1949 and 1959 she filmed 50 movies. In that period she won three Ariel awards and appeared on a hundred magazine covers. Diego Rivera immortalised her in a famous life-size portrait, a gift from the painter to the diva.

Silvia rejected Hollywood and went to Europe. In 1961 she starred in Luis Buñuel’s ‘Viridiana’. Her performance was awarded the Palme d’Or at Cannes, but in Spain, the Franco dictatorship considered it blasphemous and ordered the film to be destroyed. The film survives to this day thanks to the fact that Silvia hid a copy in the lining of her coat.

A visionary, Silvia revolutionized theatre: ‘Mame’, ‘Hello Dolly!’, ‘Gypsy’... she brought the best Broadway musicals to Mexico. In 1988 she opened her first theatre: Teatro Silvia Pinal, and went on to have three more.

She had already done it all, but cabaret was still missing. In 1981 she debuted as a showgirl at the El Patio nightclub, where stars such as Judy Garland and Edith Piaf shone. Her show, directed by Sergio Japino, Raffaella Carrà’s choreographer, was a resounding success.

Rest in peace, Silvia Pinal Hidalgo (1931-2024). You are and will remain unique.

It’s middle league sports!! (A post dedicated to my backyard sports oc)

I decided to repurpose my old OC for this, the main reason why i titled this as “middle league sports” is that she is slightly older than the other kids like 12-14 yo and i just though it was funny bc she is a mid baseball player (according to stats)

She is sort of a friendly rival to the backyard kids i guess she would randomly join their games for fun or to mess with them like in a slightly older sibling way yk

it took me a long time trying to replicate the classic og 97’ art style well my hands are litterally fried

Veronica (Nika) !!

Her main weakness in her stats is running, she is wearing platform boots so obviously its gonna take her longer just to get to the next base + she is like short 😭😭 at least she is cracked at pitching though

would describe her as very enthusiastic but slightly snarky when she has to be. Her main passion in life is fashion/beauty, she takes a lot of time perfecting her hair & mascara skills.

Other info & headcanons :

• veronica is 12 yo

• her mbti is esfp

• she is the same height as dimitri in her lil platform boots (same height as marky without them)

• veronica’s ethnicity is mexican & filipino

• veronica’s best sport is skateboarding but her worst sport is football

• she would literally pull out a portable mirror in the middle of a baseball game when its her turn

• she both bats and throws with her right hand

• she was that one kid who would throw a whole dance routine and perform it to her parents to convince them to let her go to a sleep over

• i headcanon her to sound like louise belcher

Relationships/ headcanons (they contribute to buffing her if on the same team)

• i feel like maria would instantly think she is the coolest looking girl ever just because she’s slightly emo & also loves pink

• she would also get along with billie jean i believe because they have similar interests in beauty stuff since billie was a pageant girl at one point

• she also gets along with both of the kahn siblings because she has a similar music taste as them when it comes down to rock

Negative relationships (would debuff her if put on the same team as them)

• veronica would definitely get into arguments with sally if sally ever tries bossing her around (this also applys to jorge, veronica also dislikes him)

also i have a lil extra sketch of her in the atari era art style!!!

i decided for a more emo/mall goth style for her bc it was popular in the early 2000’s and her main design leaned sort of into being ambiguously alternative

anyways thanks 4 reading this !!

🌸 ⸻ LUCIA HERNANDEZ-MARTINEZ

you’re not from around here , are you? i figured because you totally just missed LUCIA HERNANDEZ walking by. don’t tell me you don’t know who she is ? they kind of look like melissa barrera and i could be wrong but i think that they might be twenty-eight years old right now. they’ve been living in palmview for the last year. and i don’t know if anyone has ever told them this before but they kind of remind me of kelly kapoor from the office. if you stick around the town long enough you might catch them in action working at the salty sailor bar as a bartender. you see this town isn’t really that big of a place, some folks like to call them the airhead of palmview! they took a liking to the name too after a while, go figure. oh crap, they must have heard me yapping. they’re coming this way. i got to warn you though, rumor has it they can pretty selfish at times. i wouldn’t take it too seriously though, from the times i’ve spoken to them they seemed pretty free-spirited to me. we see each other all the time since they live in that one bedroom apartment beside me over in sunny shores. i better leave you to it. it was nice meeting you!  

hi, hola, bonjour ! this is my baby lucia, she's kind of a trainwreck. there are slight mentions of dv, drugs, and mental health issues below.

age: twenty-eight

gender: cis woman ( she/her/hers )

orientation: pansexual

dislikes: thunderstorms, telenovelas, responsibilities, country music, cold weather, confrontation, close-minded people.

♡ ━━ BACKGROUND

at the age of three, the hernandez-martinez family relocated from their little home in monterrey, mexico to the big city of los angeles, california. the family wasn’t well-off by any means, living in a run-down apartment barely getting by. her mother, rosana, became the owner of mi vida bar which didn’t earn them enough income as they hoped. her father, alejandro, picked up landscaping on top of helping out with the new family business. 

lucia was the youngest of two. the most spoiled child and notably the favorite, which caused a rift in the relationship with her sister, valeria. her formative years were spent enrolled in dance recitals and beauty pageants. with her love of putting on a show, her mother always believed she’d be a shining star. this slowly began the battle of basing her self-worth solely on her appearance.

tw dv; despite the toll these activities had on her mental health, she was grateful for the little moments she was able to escape from the chaos of her household. said chaos only halted when a neighbor from their apartment complex phoned the police during a heated brawl. her father was arrested at the scene and then kept after findings of multiple other criminal offenses. all contact was severed with her father after the incident. end of dv

dynamics soon changed in the hernandez-martinez residence. valeria later felt the need to take on the caretaker role, eventually picking up a job to help their mother with rent. however, lucia always lived in her own carefree little bubble, believing her social status meant more than lending a hand. in fact, her egocentric personality made her both loved and hated by many. she squeezed her way into the popular clique in high school. often, she’d skip classes to smoke or shop with the money she had stolen from her mother. education wasn’t her forte, made evident by her below-average grades. her mother began to instill the belief in lucia that she’d never amount to anything. telling her that she’d have to find a rich partner if she wanted to make it successful in life.

due to the girl’s nasty habit of stealing, her mother sent her on her way after graduation. somehow she was able to convince valeria to help her on her feet. in typical lucia fashion, she burned that bridge by racking up thousands in credit card debt under her sister’s name. once again, she’d been sent off to fend for herself, becoming somewhat of a drifter. she’d connect with people only to use them for their money and a place to stay. she’d bleed them dry, then rinse and repeat. lucia wasn’t necessarily proud of her behavior, but she’d pin the blame on her mother. she couldn’t stomach being at fault for her own actions.

her last ex-boyfriend, juniper, caught wind of her schemes fairly early in their only three-month-long relationship. yet again, she’d racked up thousands in credit card debt under someone else’s name. after his findings, he threatened to sue her unless she paid him back in full. to avoid the consequences of her actions, she took what little money she had left and fled across the country to sunny shores, florida.

♡ ━━ OTHER TIDBITS

believes herself to be an incredibly spiritual person. although she does not practice a certain religion, she has a belief in the universe and cosmic energies. typically, whenever she is undergoing a crisis, she prefers to find a local tarot card reader. if she feels her luck is particularly bad she reaches out to curanderos for spiritual cleansings.

prefers homeopathic remedies over western medicine. she’s always carrying around homeopathic treatments in her bag, along with edibles.

very obsessed with the moon and the stars. in fact, she is the type of person to stop a conversation to have you gazing up at the sky.

due to her dancing background, she picked up a love for it over the years. her absolute favorite is salsa and she is guaranteed to invite anyone out for salsa dancing.

very obsessed with music, though she doesn’t consider herself a singer, she has an amazing vocal range. she only ever shows off her pipes singing in the car or at karaoke nights if she’s had a few drinks in her system.

most would consider her to be social media obsessed. she doesn’t have a huge following, just a couple thousand spanning across every platform. she still will take the time to capture every moment for an aesthetically pleasing post on her feed.

her huge downfall is her spending habits. she finds an excuse to treat herself no matter the state of her bank account.

for a huge chunk of her life, she considered herself to an entrepreneur. often, she’d throw herself head first into business endeavors that never took off. one being a skincare line titled ’diosa’ which was funded by an ex.

she’s only worked one real job before making her move to florida. she was a bartender for almost two months at her mother’s bar. after showing up late numerous times or choosing not to show up to her shifts at all, she was promptly fired.

is super into fitness. she has a daily routine that consists of drinking a green juice, which is followed by her morning run. she also loves working out at the gym, even taking yoga classes whenever she can.

she is unsure of her stance on love. she loves the idea of committing to someone, but it also terrifies her. with no sense of who she truly is, she often morphs herself into whoever the person she's infatuated with wants her to be.

has and will steal your significant other just because she can. literally the embodiment of break up with your gf, i'm bored.

is the type to flirt for fun, not necessarily because she's attracted to the person. she's also extremely affectionate with those she cares for, referring to her friends with cute pet names.

DUCKIE JONES, born as 'Noelle Duckstein', is a wonder of sorts. She's not a humble girl, and one of her favourite activities is looking at her own reflection. But she's not ashamed of it. She loved attention bring on her, she loved being loved. Noelle loved sparkly dresses that neckline's maybe just a bit too low down, always carried around a compact mirror and you would never catch her dead leaving the house without a full face of makeup; even if it was just to answer the door to a delivery. This all most likely stemmed from the fact her mother had put her into this lifestyle at a young age, her own mother being a burlesque performer and pageant queen. Noelle was born to a Mexican woman, Daphne, who grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and whitewashed herself as she grew to gain more opportunities. Noelle never really learnt about her culture. Noelle's dad was a rich man, some fancy lawyer who was an (in)famous criminal defense lawyer but ended up mysteriously dying leaving all his inheritance to Daphne and their only child. He was an all American man, who was born and bred in Brooklyn. Growing up, Noelle's mother entered her into beauty pageants presumably trying to push her daughter into her footsteps.

JUST BEFORE HER FATHER PASSED, the Ducksteins moved from Brooklyn to Miami. It was a rushed move but they ended up in a nice house. Noelle was not even a teenager when her dad passed, being a daddy's girl this death upset her deeply. Noelle and her mother never really got along, and she always had a feeling that Daphne was somewhat jealous of her daughter. There were a handful of heavy arguments but there would never be a conversation that went by that didn't have sly catty remarks made towards one another. As Noelle grew older and went up school years, she became more and more popular due to, not only her looks, but her natural ability to make people want to be her. She did have a handful of people who disliked her, mostly due to her romantic altercations, but she paid no mind to them. Noelle was a cheerleader in her high school, and loved performing and making up routines.

IT CAME AS NO SURPRISE WHEN NOELLE FOLLOWED HER IN MOTHER'S FOOTSTEPS. Her mother originally wanted her to just be married off to some rich man, and Noelle wasn't really opposed to the idea. But she was opposed to the idea that the 'rich man' was a guy who's personality and lifestyle was as dry as a slice of bread. She lived for rushes of adrenaline. Noelle became a popular performer at the 'Babylon Club' being a dancer and occasional singer. She quickly became a local's favourite. Her mother didn't exactly disapprove of Noelle's lifestyle, as it would be hypocritical, but she did believe Noelle could do better than being "some dancer in some club". But Noelle didn't care, she loved her job. But she did always want more. So what happens when the 'more' she was looking for stumbles into the club with a scar across his face?

Spanish-language Univision is becoming more MAGA-friendly despite Donald Trump's histrionic talk of vermin, concentration camps, and how immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country".

The famous Trump Univision interview by Enrique Acevedo has some interesting backstory.

During the hour-long interview, Acevedo allowed the former president — who as recently as 2020 called Univision “a leftist propaganda machine” — to openly pander to Latinos' “entrepreneurial” spirit, and to threaten his political opponents by insinuating he would weaponize the Department of Justice against them if he is re-elected.  This interview adds to concerns that the Spanish-language news giant – which in 2016 cut business ties with Trump and his Miss USA beauty pageant after his racist remarks against Mexicans – is shifting its stance on the former president. The Washington Post reported that “Trump is treating Univision and its new corporate owners like long-lost friends. He hosted a trio of its executives at Mar-a-Lago last week during an hour-long Univision interview that was notable for its gracious tone.”  The report also indicated that TelevisaUnivision Mexico co-CEO Bernardo Gomez Martinez, who has a “long working relationship” with Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, was responsible for facilitating the sit-down. 

Yep, you may have thought Jared had moved on from his working relationship with El Douché but he's still pulling strings for Trump.

[I]n the days that followed Trump’s interview with Acevedo, some network pundits made the case that Trump has “softened” on immigration in an effort “to repair his relationship” with Latinos – flying in the face of the network’s own reporting about his explicitly stated policies and stance on the issue. In the days that followed Trump’s interview, Univision regional and national prime-time shows like Al Punto California, Noticiero Univision, and Linea de Fuego have hosted numerous conservative pundits, including former personalities from Americano Media — the Trump-aligned Spanish-language network that ran out of money earlier this year — to defend the former president and argue that he is aiming for “a change in strategy” on Latinos and immigration.

Either those Univision pundits are living in an alternative reality or word came down from the patrón to go easy on El Douché.

Of course Univision's blatant pandering to a virulent racist and hatemonger is not going unchallenged.

Latino backlash grows over Donald Trump’s friendly Univision interview

The nation’s largest Spanish-language media company, Univision, faced growing backlash Friday for its handling of a recent interview with former president Donald Trump, as major Latino advocacy groups delivered a letter of protest to the network’s executives and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus prepared to request a meeting with the network. Actor and comedian John Leguizamo, who recently took a turn as host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” also posted a video on Instagram on Thursday night calling for a boycott of the network until it stopped its rejection of Biden ads, some of which were canceled just before the Trump interview aired. “I am asking all my brothers and sisters who are actors, artists, politicians, activists to not go on Univision,” he said in a message in English and Spanish. [ ... ] Joaquin Blaya, a former president of Univision who created its signature news show in the late 1980s, told The Washington Post in an interview this week that he worried the network had moved away from its founding mission. [ ... ] The Mexican media company Grupo Televisa, which has long had a close relationship with political power brokers in that country, recently merged with the owners of Univision to take joint control of the company. “This was Mexican-style news coverage, a repudiation of the concept of separation of business and news,” Blaya said of the Trump interview. “What I saw there was batting practice, someone dropping balls for him to hit out of the park. I think it was an embarrassment.”

What Trump tells MAGA-friendly interviewers from Univision is not what he is telling everybody else. And that interview was heavily edited to make him seem less unpalatable to the audience.

This is the same Trump who called Mexicans "drug dealers", "criminals", and "rapists" and never apologized for his insults nor took them back.

The View conducted a good journalistic dissection of the way the Univision interview took place.

Why is a nonblack Mexican the winner of an hbcu beauty pageant? Negroes never gatekeep anything then cry about erasure. They don't even let Latinos darker than a paper bag in their spaces let alone an afro latino but here black people go giving out handouts at their own beauty pageant

♡ ━━ WANTED CONNECTIONS

the not-so-typical ride-or-die friendship. where both muses are constantly causing chaos or pulling each other out of messes they've created for themselves. i'd love to play into her scheming side, possibly stringing your muse along to scam locals of free drinks from the bar or extra cash.

chaos typically follows lucia wherever she goes, or so she'd like to believe. she'd love a voice of reason. someone to turn to for advice whenever she's in disarray.

tapping into her spiritual side, someone who knows tarot that she pesters for assistance and free readings !

anyone lucia may have scammed in the past whether it be for a place to stay, financial gain, or even a social media presence.

co-workers ! she has a terrible work ethic, so they could either love her or hate her for it. definitely would love to have both sides of the spectrum.

enemies. she typically doesn't hold resentment toward people, so she'd more than likely try to win them over. this could fail or be a huge success !

work-out buddies ! someone she goes to the gym with or even comes along for her morning runs.

past friendships ! possibly fallen out due to lucia's flightiness or they've simply lost touch.

on-and-off-again relationship. commitment is a huge fear, which i'd love to play into. whenever things become a little too serious for lucia's liking, she tends to tap out. somehow they always fall back into each other.

always down for fwbs, frenemies, neighbors, and other sorts !

[ ruby cruz , nonbinary , they/them ] - it looks like stevie marino is late to class once again . how do they expect to get their degree in anthropology by skipping class ? it’s a wonder that the 22 year old made it to their sophomore year . then again , i heard that they were + observant which may give them a pass with professors , but they are also - timorous so maybe not . i heard they were blasting sugarcoat by natty before class . all i know is that they remind me of pale hands slipped inside denim pockets, a shoe crushing a plastic tiara beneath it, wide blue eyes absorbing as much detail as they can.

BASICS

name: stevie marino age: 22 (born 16 february, 2001) gender: nonbinary pronouns: they/them sexuality: lesbian ethnic background: white (ethnically on both sides, though their father has mexican nationality) nationality: american

MORE

stevie comes from a pretty well-off family. they grew up as jordan's childhood friend. their mom was a pageant queen back in the day and wanted stevie to follow in their footsteps.

stevie participated in beauty pageants even as a child.

stevie had to act and look super femme when they were younger, which they absolutely hated. reference of what stevie looked like before rip:

instead of going straight to college, stevie took a few years off. in those years, they traveled, worked, reinvented themself. they came back looking the way they do now — a lot more androgynous, frumpy clothes.

i guess there wasn't much backlash from their peers, if only bc a lot of them couldn't even recognize stevie anymore.

that's pretty much stevie's goal. they have the opposite of main character syndrome. they have npc syndrome. their goal: no one perceives them, no one talks to them unless it's absolutely necessary ijbol

despite their antisocial nature, stevie has a heart of gold.
