Even abuelita can get down, ye-ye!! This is the most funny and disturbing music video I've seen in the past couple of weeks so I thought I'd share it with ya'll!

María Félix
With Salma Hayek's ABC hit Ugly Betty poised to win a Golden Globe or two, and a host of Mexican directors including Children of Men's Alfonso Cuarón and Babel's Alejandro González Iñárritu in the spotlight, it's only fitting that the country's first female movie star, María Félix, is back on the pop culture radar. The actress's femme fatale locks, assertive brows, dark eyes, and tiny waist made her a national treasure from the forties on. They would seem to have had Hollywood written all over them, too. But despite making over 45 films (one with Luis Buñuel), "La Doña," as she was called after her 1943 role in Doña Bárbara, never became as famous north of the border. Blame it on her refusal to learn English.

An unrepentant diva, Félix had a penchant for collecting husbands (four, officially) and lovers (Diego Rivera, for one) that was only surpassed by her love of jewelry. The pièce de résistance of a collection Cartier released in her honor last year is an emerald-and-diamond-encrusted gold necklace modeled after one particularly famous commission. She is reported to have stalked into the Paris boutique with a baby crocodile in tow and asked the stunned jewelers to replicate the reptile in gems, stipulating, no less, that the piece be done to scale. Now, her flamboyant style and beauty—Egypt's King Farouk allegedly promised her Nefertiti's crown for one night together—have inspired a new book, María Félix La Doña, out next month from Assouline.

ZIGMAT tonight @ Pianos!!

This Disco pop-rockers, Zigmat will be performing at Pianos tonight!! I think the bands main mamacita, Monica Rodriguez's voice is a mixture of Nirmala Basnayake (Controller Controller) and early Emily Haines (Metric), and it's great! Actually, the song Glowstick has a bit of the same taste as Metric's song Dead Disco...makes you wanna dance in the middle of the room or just stand in the corner watching others dance.

Go check em' out cause they're super fun live! Expect lots of jumping around and glamtastique makeup on Monica's lovely face!!

Happy new year!! Feliz anio nuevo!! It's a brand new year and I'm feeling optimistic:) Today was a happy day with the sunlight out and a smile on my face. I wanted to share three videos that make dance in my pants! The first one is of a dancing, singing gummy bear who sings in Dutch, French, English and one more! You can listen to different of the versions and remixes on the website. I think this video is a more sophisticated version of the dancing hampster song that was all the rage a few years ago. Lets see if it get to the dancing with Ally McBeal cameo on TV...

Quiero Club
The second music video that I just can't stop listening to is by an indie pop group from Mexico, called Quiero Club (Happy-Fi Records). The song is called "No Coke". I think they are talking about all kinds of Coke (the stuff you drink and the stuff you put up your nose). Quiero Club sorta remind me of CSS mixed with early Chicks on Speed.

The third video is by the Rapture's new song "Whoo! Alright Yeah... Uh Huh". It's so true, people don't dance no more...well at least not at your typical i'm-too-hip-for-your-mama parties. I must happily admit that my two parties Le One Night Stand and Nacotheque, people dance until the club kicks us out!
