She's from my hometown so yes, we knew about her, but most importantly, I think the devastation from that period of time in my country was very impactful for us kids/teenagers back in the day and now makes me uneasy how the US is glamorizing thru Narcos type shows. I do love Sofia Vergara, so want to see her acting that role.
I hear you. I have mixed feelings about all these shows that glamorize guns, drugs and violence - I don't usually watch them - this one definitely has some stomach-turning scenes. Sofia V is very good and the main reason I'm watching is because it's definitely taking a feminist approach - for good or bad...
Enjoy New Orleans with your daughter! That’s my favorite city in the world — my mom grew up in the French Quarter, and my husband and I got married there.
If you like live music, definitely recommend visiting Preservation Hall. It’s magical 🥰
Haha it was only a matter of time before we got around to pistachio milk!
Thanks for the recco Amelia!
slowly milking our way through all the nuts...
Loved American Fiction
Came here to say the same thing! So excellent.
Very worth going to the theater!
I'm originally from Colombia, and I'm just so conflicted about wanting to watch Griselda.
I understand. Do you know a lot about her? It can be so tough/weird to watch a show about someone you already know a ton about.
