We hardly ever talk about U.S. American relations vis-à-vis the rest of the American continent. I’m from Peru; here going on 20 years. Came for college; stayed for the freedom and the family I found here. Here, where I enjoy certain (shared…for now?) privileges that are still out reach for many in South America, Peru […]

If You See Something…
If you see something, San Francisco, then, by all means, fucking say or do something. Earlier this evening, a man was picked up by a team of first responders from right outside a Van Ness Avenue cell-phone store, to be taken to the hospital, probably to die, possibly to live. I hope he lives. I […]
Gratitude
What a year it’s been between Thanksgivings. I love this gosh darn American holiday now. I’ve been here 20 years next year, and I never realized how much Thanksgiving had become a part of me until now. In 2013, I celebrated back home in Peru. That was a tough year. It was the only year […]

Você me põe tão louco, San Francisco. Alright. I have learned that the best way to get out of an aggro moment? Think of a happier one. Stay there as long as you need. Extra! Extra! Read all about it at Madonnalicious, the U.K.’s No. 1 website about all things Madonna (online since 2001). It […]

I had a visit last night, with a friend from back in the day. Back in the day when I could get away with wearing a size 16 pair of jeans from the kid’s section at Abercrombie & Fitch. Let all o’ that sink in, O & K, OK. Oh the things you can get away […]
Of Playlists and America
This 🎧➡️ Madame ❌ Is on a Wedding Shuttle playlist I made back on a warm early summer night out in Paso Robles last May is fun. It’s good limpiando-la-casa company. It tells a good story, too, when you listen to the lyrics and, then, when you string ’em along…the ones that resonate. No change, […]
He Got That Hot Yoga
This is Brian Monnier, my yoga instructor and the man at, nay, the heart of the California Yoga Company. Brian – a United States Yoga Association-certified yoga instructor and a National Academy of Sports Medicine-certified personal trainer – and California Yoga Company have been instrumental to my ongoing wellness kick; I have been a regular […]
Don’t Forget to Vote!
You get a sticker when you vote. And municipal elections matter, too, you know. Municipal means right outside your door.
