The lovely lady above is Águeda Ramírez, who I’ve mentioned before when she was in Homeboy Sandman’s video a little while back, and who you of course remember as the model for our ¡Azúcar! Brown Tee. Needless to say, she’s one of our peoples.

Águeda (or Agi, if you’re cool with her…like me!) is currently in the running to appear on the hit Fox Show Bones through an online contest they’e running. To be in consideration for the show, she has to finish in the top 5, and she’s been headed that way, gaining ground daily.

Want to help her reach the top? Click here to cast your vote. Voting continues everyday through February 16th, so vote daily.

Good luck Agi.

I posted on Homeboy Sandman before, partly because he’s peoples but mainly because he’s consistently nice with it. That said, check out the new video for his song, “Lightning Bolt. Lightning Rod.,” below…

Yes, actually.

I came home a couple of nights back, turned on the TV and saw the commercial for Celia: The Life & Music Of Celia Cruz. The show looks awesome and even though I have yet to see it, I highly recommend it. It’s both, authentic (for many, reasons…) and accessible, with performances in both English AND Spanish. Check out a video preview, including cast interviews, below…

For more info on the show and to purchase tickets, check out their official site. Also, be on the lookout for our own Celia Women’s Tee, which will be available soon.
