Space: Star Size


My heart was beating rapidly when I was watching this video that compares the size of planets, stars, and eventually the multiverse.

After coming across and photographing Le Corbusier's splendid architectural design, the architect hired Hervé as his official photographer.

Los del Rio - Macarena


Music Appreciation

Yes, I danced the Macarena.It was the early 90s and Macarena played at all dance clubs. The song was hard to ignore.

The Spanish dance song appeared in Los del Río's 1994 album A mí me gusta. It's considered by VH1 as the #1 Greatest One-Hit Wonder of All Time.

The music video features Los del Río, Antonio Romero Monge and Rafael Ruíz Perdigones, singing with ten beautiful girls, choreographed by Mia Frye, dancing the Macarena.

If People Acted Like Telenovela Stars


I grew up in the Valley. You might know it as the Rio Grande Valley. It's an area located in deep South Texas along the U.S. Mexico border. Still lost? If the United States was shaped like a cow (which it kind of is without the hind legs) the Valley would be the preputial sheath of the cow. Got it? Good.

We only had basic cable at my house, when I was young, and the stations I remember watching with the housekeeper and my parents were the news in Spanish, cartoons in Spanish, and telenovelas.

Telenovelas are soap operas but with a lot of Latin flavor. The thing about telenovelas is that the drama is a bit more... well... dramatic.

Pero Like on BuzzFeed best explains telenovelas.
