...Equatorial Guinea — It is a favorite pastime for every adult man I encounter to chastise me about finding Equatorial Guinean girls to help make my time here more “justified,” as they say. (Literally, “Hay que buscar una mujer guineana para justificar su viaje.”) While these comments can be laughed off casually the first four or five hundred times, after a while it really gets obnoxious. These incessant “jokes” reflect a culture towards women here that is far from desirable...
...most part unconvincing. Ironically, he excelled at the most challenging part of the play: his final breakdown before he set out to murder Leonardo.Three actors with smaller roles deserve praise for their interpretations. Nina L. Vizcarrondo ’08, who is a former Crimson news editor, masterfully played Mujer, Leonardo’s wife. She was one of the better actresses in the entire production. Professor of Romance Languages Elena M. Brito was a very convincing Mother-in-law, and her experience on the stage was very evident. Lastly, Adrienne White ’09 comically portrayed the maid...
...consider this scene at the start of the 1949 La Mujer que yo perdí (The Woman I Lost). A pretty young woman (Silvia Pinal, Buñuel's Viridiana), on an evening's stroll with her mother, is accosted by a young man she has rebuffed before.

In a few mins., the film introduces us to two dozen characters with singing, strumming, speaking or whistling parts, as the camera glides, pans or swoops to keep up with them...
...obsession with money. Buitrago's groovy bass is mixed with blaring Mexican trumpets, a touch of reverberating accordion and some twangy sounds imported from India - all while Echeverri innocently croons: "Don Dinero how I love you/Don Dinero you are the main guy." In the same vein is Oye Mujer, a pop song that takes on the idea of the over-sexualized woman. "Sex object, piece of meat with a Barbie complex," growls Echeverri in the chorus. It sounds earnest, but it isn't. Both songs are melodic and danceable. The experience is like having vitamins in your candy: it tastes...
