Last night el Museo del Barrio held its 15th Annual Gala. Yours truly grabbed her tiara and headed to Cipriani’s in midtown Manhattan to spot the beautiful people and drink champagne at the Quinceñero. As you can see from the picture, tiaras were provided for those that left theirs at home.
There was music for the cocktail hour.
Designer Angel Sanchez stuck with the black and white theme.
More pictures after the jump.
El Museo del Barrio Has It’s Quinceñero Tonight

El Museo del Barrio, located in Spanish Harlem, New York City, is actually older than 15 years old, but I’m able to stay quiet about an institution’s age. Founded in 1969, by a group of artists and community activists, tonight el Museo, a Latino institution in the city, celebrates it’s 15th Annual Gala. From the press release:
As it is the Latin American tradition, El Museo Gala’s fifteenth birthday will be celebrated in the style of a quinceañero; this is a coming-of-age party for a daughter turning fifteen. For this gala, guests are invited to wear white or black (with long gloves and tiaras optional).
El Museo will honor Dr. Mario Vargas Llosa, Ambassador Paul L. Cejas and Mrs. Trudy Cejas, and Mr. Angel Collado-Schwarz of Fundación Voz del Centro. Special guests will include Miss Universe, Riyo Mori; Miss Teen USA, Hilary Cruz; and the newly crowned Miss USA, and they will be wearing their tiaras.
There is Nothing Sana About having Your Culo Hanging Out

Apparently, the latest fashion in jeans is having your ass hang out and your thong showing. These jeans have a built in thong and come just in time for warm weather via Brazil, Sanna Jeans.
Designer Sandra Tanimura expressed to The Daily News,
“We specialize in making low-rise trousers and our customers wanted them to get even lower. I came up with the idea of using the bikini strings to let the trousers hang really low without falling.”
Your ass can hang out too for the low, low price of $90.

How Much Frida-Mania is too much?

As a Latina artist, I thought that naming a tequila after legendary Mexicana artista Frida Kahlo was crossing a line. A bus trying to bring attention to women’s issues? A little closer to the spirit of Frida. A skin care line? Not so much. Yet that’s the latest thing to have the tragic artista’s name attached to it.
Naomi Campbell : The Newest Reporter in Latin America?

So much for supermodel Naomi Campbell not being political. After visiting Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, seems the lefty Latin American bug has bit her (that or the hair iron has fried her brain). She is allegedly in Cuba as I write this, interviewing President Fidel Castro for the UK version of GQ. Rumor has it that she is also planning on going back to Venezuela to do an official interview with Hugo Chavez.

Designers from all over the world are descending on Mexico City for the city’s Fashion Week, as are celebrities. But might the biggest celebrity at the event be…Barbie? Mexico’s top designers are apparently dressing her for the occasion, reports Mexico City blog DFinitivo. Just what Mexican girls need, another uberthin blonde role model:
This time, and for the first time, a collection of clothing for women by renowned Mexican designer Héctor Terrones, inspired by the world’s most famous doll. Additionally, Terrones created an exclusive collection of 10 dolls which project the essence and style of the famous creative mind.“For me Barbie is the most important doll in the world and she’s the dream of so many girls as well as designers. It’s a pleasure for me to design for Barbie, since I specialize in dressing celebrities,” said Terrones.
“The most important doll in the world” really isn’t saying much. It’s a doll. But that’s not all. Apparently la Barbie also got the royal treatment when it came to her hair, which was styled by “Lety Álvarez, Presidenta de la Haute Coiffure en México”, according to DFinitivo. We non-latex women can only dream of such things.
Interestingly enough, Barbie’s relationship with Mexico isn’t all glamor and love. Let me remind you that back in 2005 Mexican sweatshops were responsible the plastic diva’s wardrobe.

Che’s everywhere — even on bikinis

To be filed under I’ve Seen It All: Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara’s face is now on, of all things, a bikini. The Monday edition of The New York Times has a story about a topic we’ve visited quite a few times here: the commercialization of Che’s image. In it, Guevara’s daughter talks about her fight against this trend, and what she see as acceptable and unacceptable use of her father’s visage.
Emmy Awards Red Carpet Hot (and Cold)

Eva Longoria
Anything but Ugly America Ferrera
Christina Aguilera is on the top of many Best Dressed Lists for tonight but I actually hated her red carpet dress. Maybe the big bow across her midriff was meant to hide a growing belly but it ruined the dress for me (besides her huuuuuge boobs are a dead pregnancy giveaway). I liked the dress she wore for her duet with Tony Bennett though.

JLo doesn’t care about fashion creds

Pop diva Jennifer Lopez debuted her new fashion lineup “JustSweet” yesterday at New York’s Fashion Week, and while JLo is proving to be prolific in cranking out the designs, she says she doesn’t care if she’s taken seriously on that front:
“I’m not looking for the credibility,” she said. “I’m looking to make clothes that every woman can wear.”
And with that, JLo means that her clothes are accessible to women of an income level significantly lower than her own. JustSweet — which JLo calls a was “fantasy — classic inspiration but with a new, kind of funky spin” — is priced from $49-$99 per piece.
