OMG - So much to talk about!

Where do I begin? I think I should start off by apologizing...I haven't made any posts in a while, but it's for a good reason...I've been overwhelmed with work and I'm so excited to share information on the projects I've been working on!

1) I was casted in an AMAZING play that is part of the Ultimate Latina Theater Festival happening here in NYC. Below is the info on the play, and if you're interested, get your tickets NOW! Last I heard there were only 27 seats left!

2) I landed a spot in the campaign for the NY International Latino Fillm Festival. I couldn't believe it. I auditioned last year, and didn't get it, and so that gave me even more ammunition to kick ass on my audition for this year's spot. (I also read The Secret once more a few weeks ago, so you BEST BELIEVE I put the "frequency" out there!!!). The shoot was held at the Somos Arte studio in Williamsburgh, Brooklyn on Saturday 5/2. It was AMAZING. The levels of talent, positivity, fun, and inspiration in that studio was incredible. I had a blast and am truly excited to see the final product.

3) I am also working on a webisode series by the talented Lauren Rivera which is currently in pre-production. Rehersals start tonight and I'm super excited. I play a pregnant office bochinchera (gossiper). How Loca la Boca is that??!!!??

4) I also shot a pilot for Hiccup Media which I'm super excited about. I am praying it gets picked up. I played a fed-up Colombian home attendant. I will say that shopping for scrubs was fun. I can't believe the variety that nurses and home attendants have to chose from! There were Betty Boop scrubs, Dora the Explorer scrubs, solid colors, daisies, etc...incredible.


5) Urban Latino Radio is in full force. We've now completed the Bochinche Bueno Crew, big shout out to the fam - Michael Diaz, K-VON, and Melo. I love you guys SO much! We are going to rock! Check us out Mon - Thursdays from 7-8 PM on Urban Latino Radio...you can find us on itunes radio on the "Latino" tab! or click here for the player (the web site is currently undergoing construction): http://www.myspace.com/urbanlatinoradio

6) Congrats to my best friend and sister Ruthy, who have birth to the newest addition of "The Building" (name we have for our inner circle of friends). Laila Ruth Tamayo was born weighing 6 lbs and 20 inches long. See pic for cuteness...



7) Lastly, I wanted to share some sad news with you guys. Friday afternoon, a friend of mine, Erika Roman, was killed in a car accident in Orlando, FL. I met Erika when I worked at Latina magazine a few years ago, and I fell in love with her (no homo). She was an amazing, positive and motivated Latina who I admired and cared for deeply. She was the type to follow her dreams no matter what. She got an offer to work as a DJ on Orlando's Power 93 radio station, and just picked up and left for FL. She succeeded at building a huge fan base and everyone who knew her or even just her voice, loved her.

Here's a link to the article which explains how the accident happened:

People, life is too short. I know it's cliche, but live it to the fullest. Follow your dreams, and don't let anything get in your way. I live by this mantra.
So, I thank you for taking the time for reading about my life and locura...


Mil besos!!!!!!
