I am disturbed by some Americans who feel the world owes us. I often see it in situations where language is discussed. Acquaintances will visit foreign countries and come back amazed by how many languages are spoken, including English. Yet, here in America, we almost fear bilingualism. Many fellow Americans have this feeling of superiority...

I often write on body image, especially now that my daughter is getting older and becoming more aware of what the media defines as beautiful. A friend had posted this on Facebook and I just had to share it. The best part is toward the end when photo shop is used for final transformations. Please...

Is there anything better than zombies? I don’t think so. With all the Twillight crap out there, it’s nice to have a little flesh feasting every now and then. I’ve never heard of a vegetarian zombies. Enough of the Twillight bashing, my 7-year -old loves it. These guys are Voodoo Zombies and they are a...

Sometimes my Brosin just finds the coolest groups in the world. The Creepshow is perfection. Who knew there was a group that took all the things I loved and mixed them up into musical num num? Yummy!

If you haven’t stopped by Taffeta Darling on Flickr, you better go there now. She has a mix of vintage, comic book, and skull goodies that set my head spinning. I just happened to stop by and found the most gorgeous calavera shots staring back at me. The gal is gorgeous, but she often paints...

I love Martial Arts. My aunt raised me on huge doses of Kung Fu Theater, Carradine’s Kung Fu and lots of Bruce Lee. As a child, I had always wanted to take Karate classes, but they were really expensive and didn’t really offer what I was looking for. I wanted to be Storm Shadow from...

I was an only child. Much to the dismay of many, I liked it. I often would tell people that if I had a sibling, I would drown them. Sometimes I’m not a nice person, what can I say? I did, however, have a Brosin. What’s a Brosin? Glad you ask. A Brosin is a...

Back in July, right before Comic Con, I ordered a sweatshirt from Chicana Wear. It’s a gray little number with “Latina” written across the front in blue along with a cute little Chihuahua. I had hoped that San Diego would be cool enough, even in July, to wear it. It was. I am one of...

When you find a cool craft site, it’s kinda like winning a baby lottery. Needlecrafter is one of those finds. The particular patterns that excite me, however, are the pin up gals and the senoritas. When I told my Brosin(I explain this here) about the senorita and showed him a picture, he begged for a...

I’m perusing the Saturday morning news and am distraught by the lack of judgment CNN used for one of their headings. On the side, under “Most Popular on CNN” is a line that makes my counselor skin crawl. The line “Schizophrenic Killer on the Loose in Washington” glares at me like a, well, like a...
