i wear my loneliness like a taffeta dress riding up my thigh
and you cannot help but want me.
you think it’s cruel
how i break your heart, to write a poem.
i think it’s alchemy.

Richard Blanco: Son of Cuban Exiles Chosen As First Latino Inaugural Poet
Here’s what one of them told the New York Times:
“I think he was chosen because his America is very similar to the president’s America,” said Liz Balmaseda, who met Mr. Blanco in the mid-1990s when he was just emerging as a poet, and she was working as a columnist for The Miami Herald. “You don’t have to be an exile, you don’t have to be Latino or gay to get the yearning in Richard’s poetry.”
The White House and the president also released a statement. Notice Obama translated the poet’s last name into English.
“It is an honor to have Richard White in our second inauguration,” Obama said. “His contributions to the fields of poetry and art have paved the way for future generations of writers. Richard’s work is well-suited for an opening that will celebrate the strength and diversity of our great country.”

Some people love it, others hate it, but they can’t say they don’t know of it: “Sabado Gigante”, the hit variety show that turns 50 this year.
Only a Hispanic variety show would have its audience participate in a booty-shaking contest: “La Colita,” or a beauty contest called “Miss Pechonalidad” in which participants are judged by their breast size. Only in “Sabado Gigante”.
Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, Paulina Rubio all got the start on the show.
The show, which will be shown on Telemundo.com, will feature actors from Spanish-language telenovelas and English-language reality shows in what the network is calling its “first-ever bilingual branded entertainment series.” Mia, the lead character’s name, is also a play on words for the type of female viewer the show is intended to attract—the Modern Independent Achiever. “The MIA essentially is the new Latina…she’s career-driven, she’s very proud, she’s an achiever.”
