Welch, a Bolivian? Absolutely, absolutely Jando! Regular devoted readers of this blog know that RaquelWelchian lore forms a key part of this operations vision--not for nothing is my posting on Jo Raquel Tejada the MOST visited page on this entire blog!

Welch is "Mexican" in the sense argued in my book Tex[t]-Mex, a luminous, erotic, overdetermined, sexualized body from the get-go, a semiotic synonym for the always-already potential for nefarious, south-of-the-belly-button action!
