Argentina’s TV icons

August 3rd, 2008

You’ll often see these 2 on Argentinian TV: on the left, Florencia De la V, born Roberto Carlos Trinidad, is a transsexual actress, who started cross-dressing at the age of 17. She acted in TV shows, played roles in telenovelas [a limited-run television serial melodrama ] and you can see her now on some variety shows for the Argentinian canal: Telefe.  On the right, Moria Casan - Argentine actress, singer and dancer. She quickly became a stage sex symbol and vedette. She’s also known on television as a TV hostess and producer. She is 63 or 64 (believe it or not) and she’s so famous to be seen on TV with 30-year-younger boyfriends.

More metal stuff

August 2nd, 2008

Following on yesterday’s theme day, here’s another shot inside the music place. Tons and tons of metallic things covering most parts of the walls. Very visual and chaotic, the kind of setups that I like  ;=)

Theme day: Metal

August 1st, 2008

The baby doll on the left and all of the other crazy things are made of anything metal. Mostly computer parts - I believe - but I was also told car parts are used in the music store, also dedicated to heavy metal music. Later on, I’ll post other pictures of this is so interesting place.

Another kiosko - Caballito

July 27th, 2008

Love the kioskos in Buenos Aires. They can be so lively and colorful, with tons of candies, chocolates bars in display. Starting this week, my goal is to post at least a picture of a kiosko every week. With so many of them in the city, it should not be too difficult for me to keep up with it weekly ;=)

In need of salsas?

July 26th, 2008

For the tabasco sauce, salsa de soja [soy sauce], and (olive) oils lovers, you’re gotta go again to that same supermarket I posted a picture from on July 21st. I love that place ; =)

BuddhaBA

July 25th, 2008

BuddhaBA is a restaurant in the Chinese neighborhood. Even though it is listed under Chinese cuisine directory, it proposes some Japanese (tempura), a bit of Vietnamese dishes. It’s yummy, filling and the service’s great. Located at the corner of Olazabal and Arribeños streets.

Beautiful building

July 23rd, 2008

* To Bob, who wrote me back on July 18th, if you read this note, I wanted to let you know that your email address provided does not work, and I keep receiving failure notification whenever I email you *

Gorgeous edifice on the Avenida Rivadavia. Unfortunately I don’t have any info to share about this building. Anyone would know what this is?

Hairstylist

July 22nd, 2008

Les Parisiennes - the name of this hair salon’s interesting. From what I can tell this is a caballeros/niños stylist [men/children]. Would Les Parisiens had been a better fit for this place? ;=)

Looking up

July 21st, 2008

Inside one of the numerous supermarkets in the barrio chino this week-end. It’s amazingly crowded on the week-ends. It’s best to walk around the Chinese neighborhood on weekdays when it’s a lot more quiet.

Avenida Rivadavia

July 20th, 2008

Caballito [little horse] is another of those barrio of Buenos Aires. Its main avenue is Avenida Rivadavia, where I took this picture. It is one of the main commercial streets in the city. Caballito is often compared to the barrio Belgrano for that it lacks nothing and offers all possible services.

Tienda

July 17th, 2008

Tienda [store] in Puerto Iguazú - this one is the equivalent of convenience store. Puerto Iguazú is a frontier city in the province of Misiones, north of Argentina. It’s essentially a tourist town because of the so-known Iguazu falls, located only at 18km away from the city.

Jesus on a sofa

July 15th, 2008

Godoy Cruz is one of those streets in Palermo that I take to go to work. Since yesterday, someone put out this in-bad-shape-looking sofa with a picture of J. on it. How cheesy! ;=) Got the camera today to take this shot.
