JLo participated in Vanity Fair’s photo homage to classic Broadway musical made Hollywood classic movie West Side Story. Who was she? Well, Anita no less!
Posing for a glossy, starlet-studded photoshoot with Vanity Fair, Lopez admits, “I never wanted to be that wimpy Maria, who sits around pining for her guy. I wanted to be Anita, who danced her way to the top.” That’s because it’s almost how J.Lo’s career happened, except with more spray-tan and highlights.
Well put! I wonder what Rita Moreno would think. More importantly, what do you think?
Check out the whole series (featuring a ton of B-list actors) at Vanity Fair.

Random Moment of Joy
21 Oct 2008In an effort to get the disturbing lows humans will fall to out of my brain, I surfed youtube for some random joy, and found the following video of Mandy Patinkin singing a traditional queer Latina favorita with the supa hawt Audra McDonald:
The part I found interesting was how Audra stated that she didn’t “look the part.” But what is a Puerto Rican *supposed* to look like? And knowing Latin America’s historical roots of mestizaje, why on earth would there ever be an assumption that a black woman could not be Latina?
Besides, I think she makes a more convincing Maria than Natalie Wood.
Hola!
