ReinaDeLa Baile comments on what do you think about the "REGGAETON"

loving it Personally, I love to blast it in my double-wide trailer, seated on a genuine Naugehide recliner (rust corduroy), a Menthol cigarette dangling precariously from my bloodied lip, and a generic light beer in one hand, the remote in the other. Other days I slip into something lycra and two sizes too small and lime green with sequins and then into my 1982 Ford Pinto with custom plates and drive to the 7-11 for a hotdog and a slurpy.

Reggaeton is great. All the dancers that I work with love it. We like it almost as much as getting new tattoes and buying souvernir shot glasses in Daytona Beach, Florida. Almost as much as hamburger helper. Almost as much as tube tops. Almost as much as buy one get one free pizza nights.

Gotta love Reggaeton - just dance and don't pay attention to what they are saying - it's like the politicians these days. You wil egt depressed if you listen to the words. Just keep dancing to the groove.

Besitos!!

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on DE VERDAD QUE LAS GRINGAS SON MEJORES

WHERE is a photo of my big old butt ....

I am getting sick of Elmo flirting with Other Women. I am going to have to provide a nice photo of my Pompis.

They call mine. An Onion. Makes even a grown man cry.

That's what they say.

Can I get some attention now, or what?

Psyche.

besitos desde la reina, finally back from vacation, whew!

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on Can he arrive by May?? Do I have to Marry My fiance within 3 months ??

Miami Mike - will you marry me?

I say that only because dr1 is one of MY favorite reading spots, when I have a bad day I go to Sankie 101 for a laugh.

You MUST be my soul mate.

Tell me you do NOT like burras.

Okay, okay, all in jest - have a nice night all.

I apoligize, in my absence I developed a mean craving for Poor But Happy. Even for Elmo. But not that damn Burra. We are going to all be on Jeery Springer next week, keep your eyes peeled and your pants on.

ciaoito, la reina de la burra de Elmo de la modofoque...........wink, wink........

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on representing poor people in this forum: why do most rich or people in the middle class feel superior than us?

now that you mention it Mrs. G. ...
now that you mention it Mrs. G. ...

You know, for some time now I have been feeling similarly. I need to just vent and get it off of my chest, you know. Since there is nothing on my chest anyway, when something sits there too long, I get nervous.

So, as I was saying, I need to vent as well. Thank you in advance kind lady for letting me do so and here on your very own personal "tema."

After much deliberation, the truth is ... well, I just don't know exactly how to say it, but ... I feel so condescneded to, by Elmo's Burra. I mean, she acts like she is the only Chiquito in town. Who is she kidding anyway? That BeeYachay needs to Get. A. Life.

Don't you think?

Anyway, once the Burro gets flown to New York, she starts acting funny.

You DID know that Elmo works the Bronx zoo, so he can keep an eye on her, right?

Besitos Blancos y Fuefosos a mi querida Senora G,

desde la Dona R.

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on Colombian artist Fernando Botero's fat ladies make a huge impression in Singapore

Good article - thanks! I used to hate Los Tigres, could nnbot unhderstand just WHAT all the fuss was about. After reading the above article (TYVM!) my bleeding heart liberal a$$ is thinking of even buying an album. It appeals to the cultural anthropologist in me. (That is also how I rationalize dating latinos young enough to be my son.) TATA for now. off to get my Cherry Red pedicure.

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on mi fufalufa

d w martin No offense taken my man. itz aaaaaaalll good. as they say. in miami. jajaja.

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on Due to popular demand.....

oh Elmo You lovable Indigenous Chicken Choker!

Listen, let's make some cash. A local radio station here in the D.C./Maryland area just switched from RockNroll to LATINO radio - si senor!

I was thinking that we could give Howard Stern and The Grease Man a run for their money. We could have callers call in and you and I could alternate with our advices, sort of Burros Are From Mars, Girls Are From Venus......

Mrs. G can dance around in a thong, old gringo can adjust his bow tie, hit his bong and belch, isaac can shake his belly, don negro can spew hate venom (Smile don you know I love you!) and CaliPro can defend calipro.com and feminazis all over the world will tune in to chew us new a-holes, and we will have ALL the audiences rolling inlaughter.

only one problemo - we'll have to tape in the early morning hours. Will your burro let you leave her alone? And your wife?

bring the donuts Elmo....our first show will showcase how you got your name sonmanbeeeeeeeeshay.

what do you say?

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on mi fufalufa

good point to all men
BTW, Have you heard of the Don't Spend Even A Dime day - to boycott inauguration day (Jan. 10th).

I think it should also be Give A Kiss To A Working Girl day - and we can include working burros.

Everybody needs love, and compliments.

All of you guys with women - go home tonight and compliment her - we never get enough of that. And maybe if you are lucky you might get some microphone or cheetooha action. (Consult Elmo Dickshunary for definitions of lingo.)

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on Colombian culture

FYI Now that we are down to once every ten days, from twice a week, I am much happier. Although I notice he is going out to feed the donkey more often. ?!?

la reina no mas roto

p.d. senora G - also that microphone suggestion was good but now I have tonsilitis from all of the jabbing.

On a serious note, I read an article in the Washington Post LIVING section about Colombian coffee making its way to ... the port of Baltimore (sort of my back door - no pun intended - jajaja!). very informative reading. AND I am wondering. They say 11% of all coffee comes from Colombia. So, how much coke is accidentally shipped in those bags? huh? Don't tell me none. And don't tell me that the USA could not stop it if we wanted to. I smell a rat payoff Mr. George Bush Coke Head.

rant over.

sorry Mrs. G - to tailgate on your lovely thread.

let's finish with a cultural aside such as favorite flowers in Colombia or what kind of cute shoes little girls ages 2-4 would wear.

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on The colombian way to keep in shape

p.s. Mrs. G ---- lay off the weed
and the basuco
they will age you beyond your years
and they will age your trasero as well
from what I can see
I never did either
BE CAREFUL! Like a gigolo, they make you feel good now, but boy do you pay later.

besitos!

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on The colombian way to keep in shape

oka ok calm down hombres! Here is the plan: rehearsal dinner in Spain at the yacht club on the yacht s/s Satyr Dyonisus, shower of blessings on the way to Key West, and the cruise in Colombia on the Bachanalia (nice touch OG!).

Mrs. G. - According to what I have seen on the TV show "Desperate Housewives", the best diet is to do your teen gardner. Also, all the anxiety over maybe getting caught seems to keep you firm as well. I dunno. I try to be no more than 15 years younger than my friends, so 18 years old is a stretch.

Elmo - okay we can all go to key west together, but I'm not sure how I will get along with Mrs. G - chica loca is WILD. I am more like the girl you bring home to mom, the ,mild mannered librarian, the girl in the long sundress, with not too much hint of anything else. Until ... and then it is all over. no advertising. Also I prefer my girls blond, like you. I guess I can suffer through the BBTW comeptition of Mrs. G tho.

Senora G -You know I am just kidding cos it makes the men salivate and when they lose 5 pounds of saliva in one reading that's keeping them in their WeightWatchers program. Beats remote control biceps press.

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on Anyone See the Christina Show Last Night on Multiple Relationships in same the House??

Elmo and OG OG: No, you didn't lose me, no way Josue, calmate hoombre no te preocupes por nada de esto. doy tuya amor.

Elmo - Ok, so now I have to share you with Maria AND Mrs. G. Ya basta! Three chicks in the bed is enough for you.

p.s. what if one of us is really your esposa in disguise? say Mrs. G.? Just a thought!

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on mi fufalufa

the rest of the story is ... that the next client was Elmo and HE paid extra for her to smell, not of D*ck, but of ... BURRO!!!!!!

gracias amiga! besitos!

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on Miami is OUT, Las Vegas IN

drive to Key West BWT Elmo, I wish I had pictures, I will have to ask Calipro if he has them by any chance, but once after I got off the plane in Miami and mi papi rented a convertible, we were driving to Key West and I remembered that I had forgotten to bring my bikini - que tonta no? So tenia que quitar mi ropa. solo tenia ropa interior de black lace, put my legs up on the dash and enjoyed the ride. so did a few truckers. oh well................

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on The colombian way to keep in shape

walking oh yeah, I forgot to say: I walk from home, to the cathedral for mass, then home, then home to the titty bar where I work, then home, then over to Elmo's house for some conversation and getting drunk. Then I walk to the mass, repeat.

Seriously, walking is BIG. I park far from all shops in the parking lots, ty to walk whenever possible, take the stairs as far up as possible before hopping on the elevator ... good advices!

Also, I have heard ... that you can burn a lot of calories and super dooper tone your legs if you are on top and you do all the work, no cheating as in back and forth smooth sailing stuff, you have to pretend to be a pile driver, squat and lift yourself up and down. I am sure you know what I mean. Then turn around the other way. Give as many as he can take. Sometimes you have to give them a break or they can totally lose it. Explain it is for your cardiovascular health. Tell that to his wife. See, it was like, I was giving him CPR....see....

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on lonely nomads

don, elmo & OG Elmo - don't worry, OG is taping the whole thing for you.

OG - Can you shine a little less light on my trasero please.

Don - I have tried to upload a photo many times and it always says that my photo is TOO BIG. Get that! Anyway, I am 40 so I hate to tell you that if it went down you would be like strung out and recuperating for days. Watch out for the old broads! Especially dance teachers. besitos, cuidate - I am going away soon for three weeks, maybe with no internet available, so please think of me while I am gone. cuidate tambien!!

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on The colombian way to keep in shape

Cremaster Hola!

#6 very interesting and shocking since I do a lot of reading on nutrition - I will have to check. it does stand to reason as wheat grass juice is a cure all tonic and so eating good healthy grass..hmn, i will check it out. I do love a good 8 oz. filet with green peppercorn sauce. I only eat good steak though.

8. I think you too can drink it. It usuallt tones the uterus and shrinks it after childbirth and it can loosen it enough before so that all is well. It keeps the tiny muscles supporting the uterus, keeps em toned and the vaginal walls and so on. also keeps irritations away. men can drink it too.

besitos!

p.s. NATO - Thanks. I never lifted a finger before I turned 35, probably much like yourself. But things change and with a little wisdom, discipline and dedication I am hotter now than I was at 30. If only I had started THEN. oh well, AND exercise makes you HORNY!!!

More for Mrs. G - Can you get the following at a health food store: spirulina smoothie w/o sugar added, fresh squeezed ORGANIC carrot juice, wheat grass juice? All this helps keep you young and fit.

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on mi fufalufa

(Elmo DID pay the burro, I swear!) First, another HATS OFF to you for your brave honesty.

Secondly, let's say the first SEX you had was with a professional, SO?

Thirdly, the first time you MADE LOVE was with your ex-sweetie.

See, perception is all a matter of word choice and framing.

Excpet for Elmo. What I know and he never tells us is that HE PAID THE BURRO! Oh yeah, they don't tell you ALL the details.

Relax, TONS of guys start out like you did.

Like CASLUG said (welcome bak compadre - was missing you!) anyway, like he said tons of guys pay and pay and still don't get some, and then they have to pay for it in less obvious and more painful ways.

I commend you for your honnesty. A breath of fresh air!
besitos,la reina

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on The colombian way to keep in shape

PROTEIN! Oh yes, I forgot - drink it all, every time for a week.

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on The colombian way to keep in shape

unas sugerencias ...
Well, there is the perrito diet. Elmo comes over to "counsel" you, it involves four of something (I forget exactly what ...) and then there is a small something, chiqiquiquitito something...and you sweat a bit, and you can really burn some calories. I think it is called enamoradodelaburra or something like that, anyway - it is all on Elmo's new website:

wwww.amordeburroguajiro.org

.org = they accept "donations"

besitos sra. G - and what happened to your BIG BUTTS post anyway??

Seriously, for suggestions - here is what I do to keep J. Lo on HER diet cos she don't want too much competition and we are like half a centimeter apart on the Big Butt Tiny Waist list that Elmo is in charge of keeping updated for All Men of The World:

1. I NEVER buy for my house any soda, cookies, cakes, anything with sugar. Closest thing is maybe dates and figs. Eat it in a restaurant if you want it, but do not bring while items to your house - you will eat it all!

2. Make sure you have always fresh fruit and vegetables in your house. Eat one green salad every day.

3. Buy a case of bottled water every week. Keep one in your car, one at your desk. Drink all the time.

4. BUNS OF STEEL video workout by Tammy Lee = that gringa got a Colombiana's bubble butt on her and at 40+ she still looks good.

5. 30 minutes of cardio EVERY day. Okay. I cheat because I got good genes and I can. But I shoot (ha ha ha ) for 30 minutes a day - I like the PreCor eliptical trainers, less shock on your joints.

6. Read the Perricone Prescription books about diet and aging/skin. he recommends lot of fish oils as in eat a lot of salmon, but natural from Alaska, not Atlantic and NOT farm raised. Also lots of olive oil.

7. Flax seed oil is good for all women, for anti-aging and for toning.

8. For your jewelery box, drink red raspberry tea (herbal/no caffeine).

9. I avoid all dairy products as they make me bloat, break out my face, give me gas, and make me tired. Only a little bit of cheese here and there..

10. Pilates is fantastic; you must have an instructor tho to start. You MUST have the proper form. After 12 lessons you will know how to do it and you will see the difference in how your clothes fit - very good for us.

11. I also do some yoga and stretching.

12. when you club, drink one bottle of water for every copa -a dehydrated woman can not lose weight.

13. NFAS = No Food After Six O'Clock
This works like a charm. Eat WHATEVER you want before six p.m. and nothing after.


Good luck! - la reina de las BBTW!

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on Colombian Penpal wanted!

strange already man? Jees Elmo, only 48 hours since our Top Secret Encounter in the elevator, and already you are on to a piece of strange. I am heartbroken. I have now no choice but to rape Don Negro. tata for now!

thank you Elmo mi media naranja I agree that, like most of the ladies here, yes of course claro que si soy tu Soul Mate, or Chiquito Mate. What. Ever.

I can see how you laughed the panties off of the entire Texas Tech cheerleading squad in 1983. (Yes, they've been talking about it ever since and I recognized you immediately.)

I don't know what esta pasando con mi marido, me siento Neglected pork ayer no queria de mi cheekeyto. nada. que raro?!?

Puede ser k el me esta traiconando con la Senora G (y su maldita G espot??)

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on lonely nomads

wow Don you are a hottie! I just clicked on your new photo link. Very cute I must say. If I were not loving being monogamous with my ANCIENT 33 y.o. hombre by night and with Elmo in the office every Monday thr Friday (oops!), I would hunt you down and ... just kidding!

May I add....

1. It is very refreshing to read the real you.

2. Infinitely more enjoyable; congratulations! You are BRAVE.

3. More kudos on your bravery.

4. Buy the following and start a new life as the writer that you are:

a. The Courage To Write - Ralph Keys

b. Wild Mind - Natalie Goldberg

c. Bird by Bird - Anne Lamotte

You have a gift here. Stated simply most of us suck at writing because we try too hard: we write of what we do not know, we use big words, we are essentially dishonnest writers raping the reader like a burro. so we suck.

You, on the other hand, are honnest, painfully so - that is from whence flows the best of all writing. Your reader does not even think of fleeing - he/she is captivated by your pain. You win - you lured us in. Keep going. NO PARES PAPI!!! ;)

Seriously, I think that you could have a huge international audience of men in your age group, as well as guys who've been through this phase and some old biddies like me with a soft spot for miserable moody geniuses and the like.

Un besito enorme a ti -- welcome to the forum - welcome to the real you, the man.

ciaoito y besitos!

whose legs, page 543 Dear Patrick:

"I say alternate between whose legs you tie, Cremaster. MWF - tie hers, TuThSat, tie yours. On Sunday take a break and review all the films you taped during the week."

Before you go thinking that I am some nasty lady, please may I kindly remind you that this is taken ver batem from page 543 of "Burro Love on Old McDonald's Farm", by Elmodofoque Sonmanbiche The Third.

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on Miami is OUT, Las Vegas IN

Miami rocks Mrs. G - don't pay too much heed to this self-selected president for the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce.

I've been there many times on business trips, and loath it.

As for Miami, I go there frequently and enjoy it. I stay in South Beach. Yes there are a few thugs, but not on Lincoln. Espanola Way is cool, nice french cafe and a groovy yoga studio, Wild Oats health food store, tons of great places to dance (for fun or for cash), and beaches where you can wear a tanga with no top.

I will say that Calle Ocho is, in my humble opinion, over-rated. But nothing beats renting a caonvertible and driving down route one to Key West for a few days, stop in at Bahia Honda beach - a real treat.

Enjoy!

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on lonely nomads

what honesty Don Negro: You should write an essay and send it off to be published somewhere.

I know exactly that feeling you wrote about and I had totally forgotten it. If I had not read your essay above I doubt I would have conjured it up again. ever.

I was 18. In Paris, France for the first time. People were rude, it was cold, I had no friends, very little money,despite years of french classes I could not understand a word, felt lonely, and was unsure how to break through.

I alternated between sleeping and eating. It was pathetic. I dared not tell the truth to my family, They were busy pluggin me for news of my cosmopolitan exploits. ugh.

That was 20 years ago, and you brought me back to the cold chilly rainy grey afternoons when I was depressed and then judged myself poorly for being sad when others were dreaming of my life, and they would never have it. I also remember being scared sometimes by freaky men and not knowing where to walk for help when being harrassed.

All this because you are such a good writer.

Remember that writing from the heart is the best writing, the kind we pay for. Keep it up! I commend you for sharing your ordeal.

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on mi novela

adrenaline junkies? - could it be? Folks say that we are drawn to what is FAMILIAR, not ot what is necessarily good for us. Of course, it makes sense, if you grew up and experienced love, family, aceptance, bonding and milestones - in that environment - high adrenaline/stress/drama/living by the seat of your pants/escapes/close calls with death, etc -- if that is your past, then it makes sense to me that you will be bored in your new clean and straight life, of course.

As for the dark side SHADOW we all have one. All of us cage it. Some feed it through the bars, other walk it in the evenings or on weekends, and some jus starve it. But it never dies.

Well, Mrs. G - I think Elmo is all yours now. sigh of the losing party. sigh, sigh. I am laughing my panties right back on!

But just wait until he finds out that she is a fat big nosed Hungarian emigre named Sofia in Liverpool, smacking watermelon flavored buble gum she steals from her 5 small runynnosed children after cleaning toilets at the Pizza Hut and logging on in her English class while she should be learning proper conjugation.

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on Can latinos have open relationships like gringos do?

O.K. Lion Yeah, an ex navy boy friend of mine shipped off to Japan. After I refused to marry his young a$$. Anyway, he of course was dying to marry the first thing he could find. So he walked into a bar and fell in love with a Canadian "hostess" and had to rescue her. He then proceeded to go off to sea for months at a time. In the same letter to me, he mentioned that she had a Russian "girlfriend" that kept her happy while he was away and that when he was (rarely) home that the three of them got on quite well.

I don't know if he was trying to make me jealous or trying to make me puke. what.ever. it just proved what I told him when I said NO to marriage - he just wanted to fill in the blank with WHO.EVER.

Two years later he was divorcing. BTW, so were plenty of our friends in more traditional, shall we say, marriages.

My Latina girlfriends are very homophobic. A gringa mentioned HER "girlfriend" in a conversation and you could have heard a pin drop. Out of Elmo's ......$$.

Anyway, that's what YOU made me remeber, Lionheart. Oops, I forgot to add you to WHO IS WHO. Be right back.........

I wanted to go to Colombia, but he said that Gringo in Bogota has the whole cell block scared &&itless. oh well. We'll have to stick with East LA then. ta ta for now............

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on Who Is Who

old gringo OG:

I TOE-TALLY forgot about you amigo:

Old Gringo -- a former park ranger who still has a thing for tree houses, a man who collects coasters from roadside diners where the waitresses all have names like Sue Anne and Claudette, a computer programmer stuck in a tiny cell - who used to work for the CIA, a special agent looks like Jean Claude Van Damme and just poses as an "old" gringo. a car insurance agent in cincinnati, logging on between filing claims for rental car fender benders in Orlando. like PBJ sandwiches with grape jelly, no jam.

Pick one. Any one.

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on Who Is Who

sorry utopia I am trying to get Elmo out of my trunk first.

ReinaDeLa Baile comments on Can latinos have open relationships like gringos do?

what I have seen - grabbing cojones and pouting sessions I have never had an open relationship. It feels like giving strangers my life savings. Forget it! Get your own.

Anyway, knew a gringo couple that had an open thing, semi-long distance, for eight years. She was shocked and devastated when he broke it off with her for one of the ladies that he had been seeing, one who wanted a 1 on 1. DUH!

I suppose an open thing could work for some, but not for me.

And I am very clear about that. Recently, I realized that some men need a very clear very visual line of demarcation. You know, some guys believe that, "it's not cheating if ... she is also married, or if it is only oral, or if it is on a business trip, or if he pays her, or if he doesn't love her, or if it is not a relationship...what.ever!

So, here is the new improved rule:
One D***
One P***y

any questions?

And one still got into trouble!!!!!!!! yikes!!

I am dating a Latino now, and I love the fact that there is no discussion of any such rubbish as an open relationship.

Can I just say that I enjoy the way in which jealousy and territorial behavior is not only accepted and expected in a latin romance, but also enjoyed.

Case Study:

Me to white guy' "who WAS that blond anyway?
dumb gringo "chill, man, what is going on here, are you trying to control me?"

Me to latino lover "who was that stupid gringa anyway?"
Mi Amor "querida, calmate mujer, pues,,, (smiling)... me estas queriendo mucho ahora verdad?" loving every minute of it.

Once I jokingly mentioned sharing him with my best friend and his face fell and he told me obviously I really DON'T love him, and it took me a day and a half to make up...I was of course enjoying the entire pout and suck up session.......

In conclusion (yes Don, I HAVE one!), I would say that while neither culture embraces open relationships. gringos do tend to resist owning and demonstrating their territorialty, whereas latinos -- in my experience -- tend to shout it out and expect us to do the same, i.e. grabbing cojones.

Anyone??
