Shhhhhh!!! Super Secret Marisela Norte San Diego, California Invasion, Monday, November 17, 2008

Monday afternoon, November 17, 2008, East LA legend/diva Marisela Norte, will be reading at 4pm in the Little Theatre, on the SDSU campus; the reading/signing is free and open to the public! It is sponsored by my English 220.19 Introduction to Literature class AND the Department of English and Comparative Literature, SDSU. Norte is the reigning queen of SoCal poets--a singular artist whose talent and vision transform the mundane landscapes of the Southland, stripmalls and all, into an unforgetable lyric tapestry that is moving and unforgettable.

The Secret Museum of Mankind: On Mexicans and Trolls!

original posting January 27, 2008

You can't make this up: Holy Yanomamo, Margaret Mead! The Mexican Troll--banditry as a genetic given!

"He is one of a band of desperadoes who, fired with fierce instincts of rebellion and intrigue, steep themselves in a sea of lawlessness, and terrorise the peaceful populace of Mexico as did the fabled trolls the simple folk of Scandinavia."

Now I know where that animatronic Freddie Lopez elf/troll, 'half-breed' muppet came from in A Very Retail Christmas, documented in the Speedy Gonzales chapter of Tex[t]-Mex!








Just a quick update with a link to a video of the "elves" from A Very Retail Christmas, the show that features half-breed troll/elves infiltrating Santa's North Pole enclave. Thanks to Victoria Chavez of San Diego for this find! Victoria also sends in this Made-for-Tex[t]-Mex picture from People Magazine.
