It was so good to see and hear Bad Bunny encourage the Class of 2020 this evening. Twenty-five years ago I would go to my French school every day, then, after class and stuff at home, I’d watch a ton of American TV. The same shows y’all probably watched back then. It helped me pick up […]

#Iclosemyeyes…and Go to Iguaçu
I wrote “Chasing Waterfalls” for the December 2014 issue of Miami Living. I was living back in Peru for a bit after leaving Miami, when my dad and I took a trip to the breathtaking Iguaçu National Park, which separates Brazil and Argentina. Afterward, I detailed how and why Miamians should follow suit and think […]
But Make It Fashun
Face masks – face coverings like, say, a homemade cloth mask, or an effectively wrapped scarf, or a cleverly fashuned scarf – will be required while out in public moving forward, #San Francisco, starting tonight. (You do not need to fuck with the N95 masks, so don’t hoard those, OK.) I thought face masks already […]
MIAMI 2.20 Playlist Time
America got sold out again yesterday, but there’s a football game on Sunday, and gosh darn golly by golly if America isn’t gonna just pretend like nothing’s wrong. Again: Best way to get out of an aggro moment? Think of a happier one. And vote – and support Amy McGrath in her quest to rid Kentucky, […]
SFO>MIA
The San Francisco 49ers are headed to Miami to face the Kansas City Chiefs come Super Bowl LIV on Sunday, Feb. 2 – featuring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira at the halftime mark – and that means you the Faithful are, too. You’re gonna need a place to sleep in the Magic City, and you’re also gonna […]
So Does This Count as a Double Touchdown?
Miami is the place to be this winter (or any winter, really). A few days ago during the weekend, a Lyft driver who was taking me to the Mission told me that the San Francisco 49ers were playing later that afternoon, and that they had a good shot at winning the NFC Championship and thus, […]
Her Feroshcity
I’m loath to bring her up again (no, I really am not), but you know Madame X…ahem…Madonna? She recently got to collaborate with another lady from Miami who’s killing it right now: American DJ/producer Tracy Young. As you may or may not know, Miami’s favorite DJ has a long history with the Queen of Pop, […]
Gone Verde
This was such fun, heart-warming news to learn: Hedy Goldsmith, one of the Miami’s most beloved pastry chefs, has taken over Verde, the restaurant at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM). I met and interviewed and celebrated the Philadelphia native on numerous occasions during the aughts, when we both lived in the Magic City, for […]
The Cuarón Collective
When I was very young (OK…younger), I traveled a bit between Lima, my hometown in Peru, and Miami, the tropical gateway to everything USA for someone like me. It was during one of those early trips that I picked up an issue of Teen People in which the Donna Karan fashions Gwyneth Paltrow wore in […]
San Francisco
Welcome me home again. I moved to San Francisco five years ago this weekend. Ever the immigrant, in from Peru by way of 13 years in Miami. And, to quote myself quoting DB Boulevard, this is where I have been considering things from another point of view, indeed. My own. You’re welcome.
