Fiesta de fin de año TVMEX
Made by Jessica Sweet TV
Fiesta de fin de año TVMEX Pues bueno, ya esta por acabarse el año, ya casi se terminan las apariciones de Jessica en este 2007 Y pues bueno, una de estas para cerrar bien, fue ir a la fiesta de fin de año, que organiza el grupo TVMEX en la Ciudad de Mexico, DF. Pues bueno al inicio la aventura de siempre, que si el avion llega retrasadito, que moverme hasta donde me hospedo, etc. Ya llegue, y pues de ahi tenia dos opciones, podia cambiarme ahi mismo en el hotel y desde ahi irme a la fiesta. O bien podia salir de niño, irme a blush que esta cerca, cambiarme alla y luego dirigirme a la fiesta. La verdad me daba nervio eso de salir de niña desde el hotel, pero la otra opcion aparte de que me tomaria mas tiempo (llegando mas tarde a la fiesta), pues implicaba andar cargando mochila, y la verdad que flojera. Asi que me decidi a salir de niña desde mi hospedaje. Ya cuando solo faltabame los ultimos retoques, marque a recepcion para que me pidieran un taxi (la seguridad ante todo aunque saliera un poco mas caro). Ya estaba por terminar (solo faltaba darle la ultima peinada a la peluca, y ponerme los zapatos), cuando suena el telefono Su taxi ya llego joven (naturalmente dirian joven, siendo un hombre el hospedado en esa habitacion y la voz del telefono) Ya pues a ponerme las zapatillas, y !!HORROR!!! una de ellas no tenia la correita, a vaciar la maleta, las bolsas donde venian las cosas, nada (se quedo aca en casa), pues asi sin correita seria, al fin no se salia mucho, cosa de caminar despacio, y pues ahi traia una liguita , ya tendria que ingeniarmelas. Logre sin problemas subirme al elevador, y empezo a bajar a la recepcion, el nervio, ¿Me atreveria a salir, asi de chica??? Pues ya estando arreglada y con todo el plan, pues no me iba a hechar para atras, asi que ahi sale Jessica del elevador, tratando de ser lo mas femmy posible. Ya me dirijo a la recepcion, entrego mi llave y pregunto El taxi cual es? (ya que no veia taxi, es que de hecho los de ahi son coches sin la pintura clasica de taxi) Obvio que incluso si por milagro mi voz se escuchara convincente , sabian que la chica era el joven de dicha habitacion, el que pidio el taxi, aun asi el joven de recepcion dijo A si, es ese auto negro que esta ahi señorita, que se divierta Lo siguiente fue decirle al taxista a donde iba, y claro con el nervio, pues ni la mas minima modulacion de voz asi que seguro lo caso de onda la bizarra persona que llevaba como pasajera (bueno eso es lo que yo pienso igual y no), pero pues ya tras un rato llegamos al destino. Y pues ya, luego luego vi a mi amiga Trixie por ahi, ayudando en la organizacion, la fui a saludar, y ya me dijo donde nos ibamos a sentar. Fui a dejar mis cosas, y a repara mi zapatillas, lo que hize fue que la liguita la desamarre, y luego la cruce como la cinta del zapato, y pues ahi ayudaba a mantenerlo mas en sitio. Si hasta baile y brinque despues. Y luego a dar la vuelta y a saludar y a ver que amigas andaban por ahi. Bueno ya luego les seguire contando del resto de la noche, por que no quiero que este post se vuelva kilometrico. Kisses Jessica End of Year party in TVMEX Well the year is about to end, and the last times as Jessica in 2007 are now. And one of them to get a nice year closing, was to go to End of Year party , of the group TVMEX, in Mexico City. I arrived to Mexico City adventure as usual, plane bit late, move quickly to my hotel, the rest. Once in my hotel room I had two options, I could dress up there at the hotel and from ther go to the party. Or go out of hotel in boy-mode, go to blush near by, change there, and then go to party. I was really nervous of the option of going out from the hotel already in girl-mode, but the other option required moving, lots of time (wich would make me arrive even more late to the party) and to also carry around the bag of boy clothes, nnah, too much trouble and me too lazy. So I decided to go out girly from there. when I was just to end the last makeup details, I dialed reception, so they called me a taxi (safety frst, even if that taxi cost more) I was aout to end (only a las brush to the wig, and put shoes), when the phone rings your taxi is here young man (of course he refered as male, since that was the person in the room, and the voice on the phone) To put the shoes, and !!HORROR!! one of them was missing the lace to keep it tight. Empty the bags, suitcase, and it was not anywhere (It was safe at home), would have to use the shoe without it, anyway the shoe didn't move a lot, just to walk slow and carefull, and I had a little elastic string, later I would have to think of a way to use it instead. I managed to get into elevator no problem, and down, the nervousness Would I dare to go out like that??? Already dressed up, and with a plan to go party, it was no time to go back, so there goes Jessica out of the elevator, trying to be the most feminine possible. I go toward reception, give my key, and ask where is the taxi?? (since I saw no regular taxi, since they used a car without the regular paintjob) Obviously, even if by miracle my voice sounded anything feminine, the boy at reception desk would know, that in that room there was a man, not a woman, that a man has called for a taxi, even so he said Its the black car Miss, enjoy your night Next, tell the taxi driver where to go, and nervousness again, no voice softening, so surely he was surprised of what kind of bizarre thing he had as passenger (tats my thinking, maybe not his), and after a bit we arrived to the destination And once there, I quickly saw my friend Trixie, helping organizing, I went to say Hello, and she told me where we were sitting. I left my things there, quickly repaired the shoe with the ellastic string, that i crossed as the shoe lace, it did helped to hold it, I danced and jumped like nothing. And the to walk around and say hello to a few friends around there. And well I will tell you the rest of it later, for I dont want this post to be long. Kisses Jessica
Teotihuacan
Made by PacoAlcantara
The Pyramid of the Sun So say the texts: It is said that yet when all was darkness, when yet no sun had shone and no dawn had broken, the gods gathered themselves together and took counsel among themselves here at Teotihuacan. They spoke amongst themselves: 'Come hither, O gods! Who will carry the burden? Who will take it upon himself to be the sun, to bring the dawn?' A rich god named Tecuciztecatl was of this nature. No sooner had the gods called for volunteers that Tecuciztecatl had indeed volunteered. Then he realized for what. The gods gathered in Teotihuacan had just decided they needed one of them to sacrifice himself in the burning fire. The god who would jump into the raging fire would reach the skies and shine upon the world as the Sun. But who was to do it? Some looked upon Tecuciztecatl with scorn. That haughty God was no good. So even while his candidature was being applauded and accepted, there were a group of gods who suggested the name of the humble god Nanahuatzin. Nanahuatzin was the one who had given maize to the world. He accepted this nomination for he believed it was his duty to give his best to society. The sacrificial pyres were prepared and to this day they still remain as the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon. After days of penance, the midnight fire was lit at the Pyramid of the Sun. Tecuciztecatl was adorned and all ready, but stories say he ran several times to jump into the pyre and that every time he felt the heat of the raging flames his feet faltered and he went back on. When this happened a few times over, everybody began looking towards Nanahuatzin. Nanahuatzin did not falter — he was neither frightened nor indecisive. He instantly threw himself into the fire. Tecuciztecatl was now being scorned at. Unable to bear it, he too jumped into the fire. Soon the first ray of light emerged from the east and Nanahuatzin emerged as the Sun. Some say Tecuciztecatl also came up as the second Sun, equally bright. But some say one god threw a rabbit on Tecuciztecatl’s face to diminish the intensity of light. Others say Tecuciztecatl naturally came up as a paler version.

Inmoral
Made by Jessica Sweet TV
Inmoral Bueno, pues como les decia anduvimos paseando por ahi en Chapultepec. Todo un ejercicio, tanto fisico por la subida y la caminada, como mental, para ignorar la de chiflidos, pero en fin. Pero a mi eso no me afecto tanto, y pude disfrutar muy feliz mi salida a pasear. Aqui una foto que me gusto mucho como salio, aunque es algo inmoral. Kisses Jessica Inmoral Well we were walking around Chapultepec. A full day of exercise, both physical with the walking, as mental, to kind of ignore at a start the whistles. Didn't really bother that much, and I was able to enjoy my happy day outside. Here a photo I really liked, but a bit unmoral Kisses Jessica

Angel de la Independencia (close up)
Made by Ricardo Carreon
The golden Winged Victory statue that tops Mexico City's most famous landmark: The Angel of Independence, that celebrates the Independence of the country almost 200 years ago. I just love the way the statue manages the light creating gorgeous shadows and shapes. You can also see its textures on Original Size. This is the Cover for the Book A Light in Polanco. You can buy the book from Amazon.com here Reforma Avenue, Mexico City, Mexico.
México D.F.
Made by Filippo Manaresi
Sono tornato sulla Torre Latinoamericana (183 metri per 45 piani) a Città del Messico. Per anni è stata la torre più alta dell'America Latina, ora è la quinta più alta di Città del Messico. Questa volta sono salito al tramonto, la vista è assolutamente spettacolare. Purtroppo non avevo il treppiede e ho dovuto scattare a mano libera. Visit my website.
