It Wasn’t the Latin Grammy Awards but Latinos Were Still Awarded

In November of last year I was able to watch the 7th Annual Latin Grammy Awards live and in person in Madison Square Garden. Last night’s 49th Annual Grammy Awards in the Los Angeles Convention Center, was watched in the comfort of my bedroom. Shakira, who swept the Latin Grammy awards, didn’t win last night (in the category of best pop collaboration) but she performed Hips Don’t Lie(yes, that song again) looking golden, literally and figuratively.
Christina Aguilera‘s Ain’t no other man won Best Female Pop Song.
Many of the Grammy winners in Latin music last night were also winners of Latin Grammy Awards in November of last year.
Five skinny models kicked out of Spain’s Cibeles

Spain’s Cibeles Fashion Show, the country’s most important fashion industry event, wasn’t joking when it said it wouldn’t accept ultra-skinny models on its runways. The policy was instated this year to ensure that tragedies like those happening among Latina models in South America wouldn’t repeat themselves in Spain, and today the decision was put into action as Cibeles rejected five of its 69 models for “extreme thinness”:
The show, known as the Pasarela Cibeles, decided in September 2005 not to allow women below a body mass to height ratio of 18 to take part.
