Latina Wins Skinny Person Contest and LOVES Tyra

While the mainstream media will be all over the new census findings about Hispanics invading the country, they will probably ignore a much more important milestone: WE ARE NOW INVADING REALITY TV!!!!.

jaslene orgullo hispano In case you didn´t know, Jaslene González (not related to the GONEzales who harasses people who are dying in the hospital), after trying out a bunch of times, expressing her undying devotion to Tyra, threatening to pull out another model`s hair and even do something crazy like commit suicide if she didn´t win, she became the most famous stick skinny Latina in the U.S.

AND before all the role model mentoring people get all bent out of shape about the unrealistic beauty standard stuff that is making teenagers and older women get an undocumented self image, let me remind you that she is also an online college admissions advisor and hopefully she used this position to get a bunch of Latinos into college…

So I leave you with a quote to make us all proud…(and Tyra´s of course the only real top model ever)

“I’m the Latin spice here!” Gonzalez added. “I’m the edgy girl. I’m not the girl next door, but I’m the girl down the block in your hood!”

“Strong but not stiff,” Banks reminded Galkina. “Strong but not drag queen,” she told Gonzalez.

Despite her great accomplishments in life, she doesn´t even have wikipedia entry…. maybe the Hispanic Caucus can get on this like they did on Ken Burns…

AND guess what? she even said a few words en español!!!, because everybody wants to know what is on a model’s mind in 2 languages…

SO here is “the” moment…. would someone please tell this girl that she is not in a miss Puerto Rico reinado on Univisión?
