Cameron Diaz is saying sorry today for a cultural faux pas related to her choice of purses. Last week she was photographed at Machu Pichu sporting a Maoist-themed bag which stirred up all kinds of emotions:
The voice of Princess Fiona in the animated “Shrek” films visited the Incan city of Machu Picchu in Peru’s Andes on Friday carrying an olive green bag emblazoned with a red star and the words “Serve the People” printed in Chinese, perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong’s most famous political slogan.The bags are marketed as fashion accessories in some world capitals, but in Peru the slogan evokes memories of the Maoist Shining Path insurgency that fought the government in the 1980s and early 1990s in a bloody conflict that left nearly 70,000 people dead.

No entiendo why everyone is so surprised when a Latina makes it on the Hot 100 list of the numerous men’s magazines out on the market. Doesn’t everyone realize we’re hot? Regardless, Maxim released it’s Seventh Annual “Hot 100″ list with Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria at #1 for a record breaking second year in a row. Other Latinas making the top 10 include Jessica Alba at #2 and Cameron Diaz at #7. Now if only the mass media would pay attention to Latinas on other Hot 100 lists.
