When you ask people of all faiths and ages in Jerusalem the question, “If you could have one wish, what would it be?” you realize that for the most part, as humans we all wish for many of the same things…

I vaguely remember the feeling that the magazine addict in me felt upon learning that my monthly collection of glossy mags would include a magazine just for Latinas. I never cared much about the face that graced my magazine’s covers, it was the content listed on said cover that  was the attraction. Latina-relevant stories, articles, […]

Watch out Bridesmaids, there’s a new–though older— (seemingly) irreverent chick flick coming to town. This time, the wedding-party-goes-wild movies stars Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Caplan, Isla Fisher, and Rebel Wilson.
