(pronounced as “Bleep gringas in Santiago say”) So clearly this is a tribute to the now widely-known and equally loved “$h*! Girls Say” video on YouTube. If you are one of the few who haven’t seen it yet, go to the bottom of this page right now! Have you watched it yet? Good! Now you can [...]
Okay, so here comes el dia de los enamorados next week and if you are anything like myself, you’re ready to take Cupid’s arrow and poke him in the face with it. Sometimes I even wonder if Valentine’s Day is there for those in relationships or if it’s there to simply remind those of us who aren’t, [...]
