Happy Birthday, Jennifer Lopez! This Is Your Life.
24 July 2009, 9:45 AM. By Alex Alvarez
On this day, 40 looooooooooong years ago, the Baby Jesus looked down on a world torn apart by hippies and thought, “What the world needs know… is VELOUR!” And thus we were given the 1970s and one Jennifer Lopez. She was born in a glitter-strewn cardboard box on a street corner in a rundown corner of the world positively pulsating with realness. And that place, friends, was the Riverdale neighborhood in the The Bronx, home to such scary thugs as Dr. Goldberg the Kindly Gynecologist and Evie the Old Woman with Various Cats.
Little Jennifer was somehow able to pull herself out of these suburban, gang-torn, nightmare world and went on to achieve many things.
So, in honor of the greatness and splendor embodied by Jennifer Lopez, let’s take a look back on her life and at some of the highlights she’s given us, her humble fans, along the way. Here are our favorite J. Lo moments:

the green versace dress where the vneck went all the way down…to her belly button.
HAAAAAWT!!!!!
You forgot the movie Enough. That was a great movie. Seriously.
Ummm… a few things:
1. J Lo. grew up in Castle Hill…not Riverdale. Either way, you made the point that she didn’t grow up in such dire straits as she’d like us to believe. Anyone who’s parents had a house in Castle Hill and sent them to parochial school in the 70s and 80s was not a ‘poor’ kid. Not to mention, her parents are also college educated so we’d like to believe that they had access to better resources than most other parents at the time.
Just keeping it real! LOL
