More Photos from the Latin Grammys, Afterparties and All
Raoul de Molina and Manny Gonzalez chilled out at the Latin Grammy after-party thrown by Hennessy at a mansion in Vegas. The slimming gordo wisely stayed away from those delicious but no doubt carbohydrates-filled food plates.
Where was Gloria to stop all this madness? Her post-menopause shouldn’t have distracted her enough to keep her husband from leaving the Estefan mansion looking as though he were going to attend some relative’s boda.
It’s Mily De Molina, his wife. What a cute couple they make. Because of that lacey pantyhose, I will choose to overlook that unflatterring jacket over the gold dress. Yes, the pantyhose is that charming. And why didn’t she do something with the hair. A little updo at least. Boring, boring, very boring. And wearing that platinum bracelet, with that cheap bangle, really cheapens the accessories effect, Mily De Molina.
Ah, El Caballero de la Salsa Gilberto Santa Rosa, and a charming escort guest.
Beto Cuevas and Alexander Acha posed together for a photo. Alexander is looking just a little too pale. You think he’d get a little tan from all the heat in the room that night. Alexander got an award for Best New Artist that night. This must have been the second best good news he’s had all year, besides the fact that he and his wife reconciliated.
Now a word on Alexander Acha’s outfit. He looks so, I don’t know, very 80s. He dresses so old for his age. Perhaps this was a tribute to 1980s-era fashion. Perhaps.
Ines Gaviria and Jorge Villamizar looked absolutely adorable. Why am I loving Ines Gaviria’s wild style?
It’s Carly Henriquez from MTVR3s. Don’t you want to pinch her cheeks? She’s donning a Mata Hari/Egyptian bob, with 1920s flapper flair. Got to say, I like it. And speaking of Carly…doesn’t she look like she’s family to the singer/rapper Teyana Taylor?
Why oh why does DJ Mando Fresco look so lost? Did someone break his heart the night before or something. A man of his profession should have hit the Hennessy Privilege House with plenty of joviality, but no. We are served with his folorn, somber face instead. And is that a little belly I see protruding through his relatively small frame? Poor child.
Now what is wrong with this picture? The dress is okay, so no problem there. I know. It must be that awfully bright red lipstick. And looks like any little curls she might have had in that hair, any body she may have had in the strands, was subdued by sweat.
The makeup seems to be going awry too. The next time we see you on the red carpet Ms. Paloma Rodriguez, we want to see the hair styled differently, perhaps a little style that will withstand temperature. And, oh, those eyebrows really could benefit immensely from a little wax.
Ah, it’s DJ Frankie Needles. Now DJ Mando Fresco, you want some lessons on how a DJ should look at a Latin Grammy after party, grab your notepad and take notes as you survey this Cuban-Jamaican turntable manipulator from head to toe.
Yes, DJ Mando Fresco, we hear your protests. Everyone has their unique style. Why should all DJs dress alike, when Djing is really all about personal style. But no, Mandito, the impression we got from looking at your outfit was that it had gone to extreme nerdiness, with no hint of coolness, not even nerd cool.
Hey look! It’s Don Magic Juan. Hi! We like your hater blockers, and everything, but we really aren’t feeling that shirt. It looks like a chef’s uniform. You can do better Don. Since you’re going around being people’s spiritual advisor, do please spiritually advise yourself to dress a little bit better the next time we see you.
Can you believe that this is Beto Cuevas’s daughter, standing there next to him. Beto is the epitome of coolness. It’s hard to think he could be old enough to be Martina’s pop. Don’t you wish you had a cool dad like that?
No doubt one of the best-dressed ladies of the night, model and pageant winner Ms. Melissa Marty, wearing a dress that cannot be carried off by just any body. It takes a buxom woman with considerable curves, and beauty, thank you very much.
The guys from the Maleco Collective making a fashion statement.
Rocio Marengo and singer Jorge Villamizar enjoying a moment together. Rocio looks like she’s freezing. Jorge should have played the gentleman and placed his jacket on her shoulders.
Christina “T” López strikes a pose. Those ringlets certainly look cute on her. At one point the California Latina was part of this group called Soluna. Guess, she’s making it on her own now. Plus, who have ever heard an artist going anywhere being part of a group? Last I heard from my sources, she was working on a bilingual album.
Closing note of the day have us returning to Emilio: Emilio, this was the Latin Grammys, not a wedding or a quince, homey. We’ve said it before and we’re going to say it again, couldn’t you have gone black instead of cream with that suit?
