In my opinion to choose someone as the greatest Chilean of all time, is too hard to handle…

But any way, it suppose that I have to write something and using this obligatory blog space, so  I would like to talk about “ Hija de Perra.”

Victor Hugo “Wally” Perez Peñaloza, best known by her character “hija de perra” was a transvestite, drag queen, singer, model, designer and performance artist, who also was an activist for sexual dissident rights, for feminist rights and  for the queer rights.  Her character “Hija de perra” is very known  in the field of political arts not only in Chile, but in a lot of Countries of Latin America, and even Spain.

She star in the movie “empanada de pino” directing by Edwin Oyarce, an original and bizarre Chilean film.  In the music fields, the song “Nalgas con olor a caca” (that she usually sing whit Irina la Loca, her best friend and work partner) becomes in a real hit in the underground world parties, but most of all as a slogan for dissident life!  Lol!

The first time that I so her performing a live, she was in ICEI, singing that song in the middle of the yard, at lunch time, she was invited to a university dissident band festival, I was really amaze!  

The second time, was in the Capri cinema for Dildo Rosa post porno art festival, she and Irina was the presenters, and their show was really fun black humor to see!   

But I never had the chance of meet her and talk her in person.  Victor Hugo past away the 25^th August of this years, causes the Queer world a real grieve, but “Hija de perra” legacy will be live forever. 

Hello, today I’m goin to talk about a TV show that I used to watch on TV when I was a teenager, called Buffy the vampire slayer. Last summer a find the dvd of the first season and a watch it again, and a liked just like the first time.

Buffy was a blonde girl, transfer from her last school for bad behavior, (or that’s what people thought about it) to a new school called  Torrance High school in Sunnydale town. Buffy was the type of girl that could be the popular girl, the pretty blonde cheerleader, but her attitude was different. 

She had a secret, that can’t share with her mother, who asked her self what she was doing wrong, that her child was always in trouble and expelled from all the schools that she attend.  Buffy’s secret was that she was a vampire slayer.

 In this new school she meets a weird English man who was the librarian,called Rupert Giles,  who knew about her condition of been the chosen one for the job on slaying vampires and help her in that task, by training her, etc., etc.  Also she made friends,  Xander and Willow, both of them are misfits in the school, but they find out about the vampires and offer their help  in things like research, used the Internet ( in that time was a nerd thing to do) etc., etc. 

She also meets Cordelia, who is a brat mean girl, who treated to make her life impossible. But most important of all she meets in an underground club that her friend used to go, a guy called Angel, who turns out to be the love of her life.  But the tragedy of that love is that he is a vampire who poses a soul, so he is not a bad guy, but he is not human either. 

I hope you guys watch the series and like as much I do, enjoy it! 

Hello, today  I want to talk about movies, because I think my self like a real fan of cinema and I would like to ask you guys,  Which is your favourite movie in the world?

Im my case, I don’t have clear which is my favourite movie, because I like so many! but I can make a top five list of them, like John Cusack did with records in the movie High fidelity.

In the place number  5 of my own like list ( nothing seriously anyway)  I would say … well is hard to pick only five movies,  but I would choose " ExistenZ".  Existenz  is a science fiction body horror film,  directed by David Cronenberg in 1999. They main charters are star in by Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jude Law.  In this movie the characters get in to a virtual world, by connected them self to an organic console through a bio- portal that they have in their backs. The virtual reality of the game mess up with their minds, so in the end they don’t know what part of the game is anymore and which part is the reality.

In number four I would say “Trainspotting,” well everybody know this movie, but in the case that you don´t know, is a comedy –drama film, Directed by Danny Boyle, about a Scottish junkie boy  and his friends.

In number three I choose “The lost boys” this is an 80's vampire movie, with  Kiefer Sutherland and Jason Patric, star in both as vampires, I love them!  

In number two of my list, it's “Velvet goldmine”, It would be my number one, but then I saw other movie that just blow my mind. Any way this movie it’s about. Velvet goldmine is a British drama film Directed by Todd Haynes, about Glam Rock during the early 70’s, Star in by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Ewan McGregor and Christian Bale. The film have fictional characters base it in the lives of  David Bowie,  Lou Reed and  Iggy Pop. 

Finally in my number one place,  of my top five movies, is “The pillow book “ Direct by Peter Greenaway and star in by Ewan Mcgregor an Vivian Wu. Is a really beautiful movie, I don't have words to described, so you guys have to see it! enjoy it!!!!

If someone asked me, which country would you like to go to and  why, I would say that I would  like to go to England,  because is so much going on there, I mean the culture is so rich, and also that country has been cradle of so many amazing things, like  fashion, music, art and style in general.

I would like to walk on the streets  in the cold wether wearing a long coat and boots, and drink  decaf capuccino,  get into the a record store, talk with the english people about the past, about the music, about the Beatles, David Bowie and The Rolling Stones...   I would get some tickets to a rock concert, maybe hear  Bowie’s new record  a live.  

Maybe  I would like to fall in love with one of those places and decide to stay there,  get a job, maybe in a coffee shop,  or in a second-hand clothes store…  

I wouldn’t  like to study  there, because I think that is hard to study a subject in an other language that is not my mother tongue ….
