There’s a new drug in town called Snurf. Snurf, people. Before we get into the name, Snurf is said (on the internet, which is full of lies and drugs, apparently) to be pure DMX which stands for dextromethorphan, which...

Oh, laaaadies! Tired of dating men who, for whatever reason, are unable or unwilling to settle down and get to baby-making? Fed up with the usual vacation to Europe (old!) or Boca Raton, Florida (really, really old!)? Then perhaps...

Query: Is something really a “trend” if it only appears as such on blog and in magazines? Because while there seems to be an increasing amount of articles dedicated to clothing aimed at displaying one’s butt cleavage, we’re not...

Summer’s right around the corner! We can feel it! As we wake each morning to an un-air-conditioned apartment in a pool of what we hope is our own perspiration! The impending approach of hot summer months means only one...

WednesdayJune042008

We’re not huge fans of animal print, aside from limited use in accessories, but we’re not opposed to trying out peacock-inspired clothes and jewelry this summer. It’s bright, fresh and doesn’t have that “Puma on the Prowl” vibe that...

We’ve always been aware that our mom doesn’t always know best when it comes to fashion (Polka-dotted rayon dresses with shoulder pads? Not without cowboy boots, silly!), but we do admit to often stealing ideas — and the occasional...

WednesdayMay142008

Ay, gross. There is nervous chatter swirling around that those plush animal backpacks ravers and slutty 14-year-olds loved to wear might be making an unwanted comeback. Like babydoll t-shirts and pleat-front trousers, some things don’t really look good on...

MondayMay122008

Sometimes cultural sensitivity is just not warranted. Like in the case of Peruvians eating guinea pig. (Hoo! Can’t wait for the irate Peruvians to come out of the woodwork for that one.) Still, in this video, touchy-feely, liberal New...

WednesdayMay072008

You know when you act like a complete asshole and make a dumb face in the background of some total strangers’ pictures? (We love you when you do that, btw.) Well, it’s called photobombing and now it’s a trend...

FridayApril182008

Mary Kate Olsen showed up at the “New Yorkers for Children Gala” wearing a Marc Jacobs puffy headband from his Fall 2008 collection foreboding a strange, new, raccoonish trend. The upside is that a piece like that could save...

The premiere issue of Latino magazine launched last week with an article about who among us is using the internet. But first things first: Can we please put a moratorium on magazine titles with the words Latino or Hispanic...

MondayMarch242008

Good news. The above video reveals a new group of obnoxious, Latino youth with stupid hair for us to hate on. They’re called Pokemones, (appropriating childhood icons—edgy), and they like to have parties called “ponceo” in Chile’s public parks...

FridayFebruary082008

The New York Times reports that Jesus Malverde, known as the “Mexican Robin Hood” and the “Patron Saint of Drug Dealers,” is gaining more and more popularity in the U.S. thanks to immigrants and their drug-dealing-thief-worshipping ways: [I]mmigrants have...

ThursdayJanuary312008

Ay, ok, you guys! So, like, we just read that “Chonga Chic” is in for Spring, pero, like, HELLO! Hasn’t it always been in fashion? We’ve always found having our boyfriend’s initials spelled out on our nails to be...

ThursdayJanuary312008

Actor Matthew McConaughey has approached the impending birth of his firstborn with the usual mix of euphoria, paranoia, and insatiable need for salty snack foods that are normal for most, um. New parents. In the January 28th issue of...

A study done by the Pew Internet and American Life Project says the amount of Americans doing internet searches on themselves has more than doubled since 2002. Hawt! But that, apparently, is not enough for the Pew Internet and...

Chicago-based Duranguense band Grupo Montez De Durango is among the top downloaded ringtones in the country for the 37th week in a row. Good job, guys. Not only are you disrupting our romantic strolls through the Loisaida with your...

If you’re young and poor, you probably have a cell phone. Or so says a new poll, which lists Hispanic males as among the youngest and poorest. Or something: The federal data showed once again that young, poor, male...

WednesdayNovember282007

This Thanksgiving, we received no less than half a dozen group texts from various friends telling us how thankful they are to have us in their lives. Though we’d received the odd New Year’s Eve text in years past,...

A new trend among young people in Cuba has landed about 70 of them in jail. White rubber bracelets reading “CAMBIO” (change) have recently adorned the wrist of many a politically apathetic teen on the island. Many wear the...

Hey everybody, Adidas made a Dia De Los Muertos track top. Yay. Men’s Day Of The Dead Track Top [Shop Addidas]...

This email we got regarding a new gay porn adventure show on The Discovery Channel called “Last One Standing” really caught our attention: Okay I checked out Guanabee and did not see an entry about this new gay favorite....

ThursdayAugust302007

Perusing the internet for gay, Latino fetishes, (like you do), we came across an interesting rant from a (presumably) gay, African-American, male blogger who laments that Black, American gays are just as guilty as their White counterparts of attempting...

TuesdayAugust282007

It seems SAT scores for the high school class of 2007 are the lowest in 8 years and the College Board says its cuz “a more diverse pool of students is taking the exam.” Hmmmm, what could that mean?...

TuesdayAugust282007

At the beginning of the summer, we reported on the dawn of a new drug trend among Dallas Chicanos called cheese—the powdered mixture of heroin and pulverized Tylenol PM. Now as school starts up again for the young ‘uns...

MondayAugust132007

We all know men lie when it comes to reports of their own sexual prowess, but now the nerds at Berkeley have proven it mathematically. Apparently, contrary to what most sex surveys claim, it is statistically impossible for men...

ThursdayAugust022007

A recent New York Times op-ed piece entitled “Leave Your Name At The Border” raises the topic, amongst others, of Latino parents giving their children “White” names. We’re not talking about Dave or Rick or, ahem, Cindy. We’re talking...

TuesdayJuly312007

It’s a little early for sex talk, (unless you’re one of those morning people, which, ew, get away from us), but don’t worry, the University of Texas is only cockteasing us with a study published this week that doesn’t...

MondayJune042007

How long before MySpace becomes as passé as AOL? Perhaps when your abuelita can read it. Enter MySpace En Español. Now the site you're completely over in English is translated into Spanish, too. Which makes for a strange read...

FridayJune012007

From Dallas, the city that brought you ecstasy, comes a new drug called, “cheese.” We’ve been hearing a whole lot about it in their local papers and it sounds like it's offing Mexicans faster than the Texas Rangers. According...

WednesdayMay302007

The New York Times spent two pages recently claiming that even though fake tans have replaced real tans in desirability [Editor's Note: In what universe?], women are still only using fake tanner as an auxiliary to the very dangerous...
