La Gringa Novelera

ESTAS LISTO?

Tomorrow is the Extremely Grand Premiere of the newest novela coming from Telemundo, “La Dona!”

Aracely Arambula may dress like a princess, but don’t let that tiara fool you!

She is a construction magnate who would scare Donald Trump, and to paraphrase my hero Maureen Dowd, La Dona would probably settle the whole MidEast Crisis easily because she views the entire mess as a bad real estate deal.

Danna Paola will play  the daughter she never had, and never wanted.

David Chocarro is  the boyfriend both of them want, neither will leave behind, and may possibly try to kill each other over.

David plays a lawyer who fights for justice for women, but wait until you see what Aracely has in store for him…

Rebecca Jones plays a sorceress who reads coffee grounds, which is probably why she hangs around Starbucks so much. 

AND, there is a beautiful, exotic,  compelling and tough police officer in the show too, “Karen, LaDetective.”

According to the writers of the show she is inspired by me! “Karen, La Prosecutor!” Except I’m not compelling or tough, but I am somewhat exotic because I like Thai food and plus I still smoke. 

Don’t miss the Premiere tonight on Telemundo!! We are having a viewing party and I’ll be live-tweeting during the show…whatever that means.

Here is my article (in reverse) about the show for Latin Connection magazine!!

Let’s watch it tonight!!

Poor LaTuti in the Telemundo SuperCrazyFragilisticExpialidociousSeries  aka NarcoNovela “Senora Acero 3:”

All LaTuti ever wanted was a real family: Life-Sized, not made out of plastic, and with real hair.

But instead, even though she got her son back in a reverse-kidnapping thanks to the Pied Piper of Chihuahua, Mario Casas, he is not happy and she is thinking of returning him to his abuela, in a “Ransom of Red Chief” scenario. 

Maybe she had hoped he would be as excited as the new Malibu Barbie as she was! 

The show is being preempted tonight by the 3-Hour EXTREMELY GRAND FINALE of “Sin Senos Si Hay Paraíso!” 

But don’t miss it tomorrow night!

And in case you missed it, here is the article about me in today’s Chicago Sun Times!!

Que tal!! 

Tonight is the Extremely Lavish and Grand Finale of the Telemundo telenovela “Sin Senos Si Hay Paraíso,” which means “Without Breasts There IS a Paradise,” which I guess is the telenovela equivalent of “Yes, Virginia, There IS A Santa Clause.”

I will miss LaDiabla and her daughter Yesi, who were the most unlikely TwinTitans of Evil you’ve ever seen. 

And they kind of dressed alike in a very  twisted 1960’s bit! 

Recently, LaDiabla has been in hiding, dressing up as a police officer, which is a tremendous and happy  slap in the face to  people who don’t understand Novelas and think that Novelas don’t understand irony.

LaDiabla has been so happy getting out of all of those cold-shoulder and cold-breast leather crop-tops that I predict a big theme of tonight’s EXTREMELY GRAND three-hour long Grand Finale is that she will welcome the uniform of prison, as long as she can smoke there.

I’ll miss the insanity of this novela very very much!

Hola!!

Welcome to my blog about learning Spanish from telenovelas!! 

If I did this right (always a big IF), this should also appear on my Facebook fan page and my Twitter feed!

Let’s see if this works!

First of all, what a day!

In case you missed it the first 16,000 times I posted it,  I’m very proud of the article Shia Kapos wrote about my adventures in Novelaville in the Chicago Sun Times!! What a thrill!! Here it is!!

And, on the same day, my article about the upcoming Telemundo telenovela “La Dona” was published in the November issue of “Latin Connection” magazine!

For some reason the pages are in reverse, so if you would like to read it (and I hope that you do!!)  please start at the bottom and read up! (I’ll figure out this stuff one day!!)

“La Dona” premieres on this Tuesday, November 29, on Telemundo. 

Aracely Arambula plays a construction magnate with a lot of scores to settle, so construction is definitely a great business to be in, because the Teamsters are definitely always up for a good revenge plot. 

And nothing is handier to have than  an extra building foundation to hide all of the evidence.

And by “evidence,” I mean “bodies.”

This novela also stars David Chocarro, Danna Paola and The Always Great Rebecca Jones, as the Evil Aunt who is also a witch who can somehow read coffee grounds. 

The novela also features Mayra Sierra as “Karen, LaDetective!” A character inspired by ME! Except she is not crazy. 

Why not?!? Por que No?!?

I hope you will join me as I Live-Tweet about this exciting new show Tuesday night, if such a thing is not illegal! 

I’m on Twitter and Instagram @gringanovelera and Facebook at LaGringa Novelera! 

Hello!!

This is my first blog post! It was a bit of a struggle getting it right, and I won’t know if it’s right until I try to post this, but I think it might be ready, but it needs a lot of work.  Please bear with me!!

I decided to try this on a Saturday since there are no novelas on Saturday, so it gives me some tine to get used t this before the VERY GRAND FINALE  of  #SinSenosSiHayParaiso on Monday, and the EXTREMELY GRAND PREMIERE OF #LADONA on Telemundo!!!

Nos Vemos!!
