Highlights of Today’s Show...
March 20, 2010
Radio shows are a lot like going stag to a club for the first time. You dress up, smell and look sweet, and yet you just don’t get lucky. Well today’s show was very much like that first club scene where you should have it altogether then circumstances get in the way.

Bravely Jose made a bold effort to handle the board, guests and callers. But, like a mad scientist who’s left to man the controls having to deal with a zillion buttons and thing-a-ma-jigs following a year sabbatical invariably caused a few things to go amiss.

Still, YSL strives to give its listeners the very best challenging them to think and interact while creating a dialogue which we hope in the end allows its listeners to see multiple views on varying issues. But even with the best intentions one can still be afflicted with challenging obstacles.

This show requires a lot of facets to make it come together from information gathering, research, fact checks, and finally its presentation. Then, there’s the follow up so you can see it all over again on the website. It is a product of professionalism and a love of radio which is brought to you by its founders and maintained by the support of its sponsors/advertisers as well as its loyal fans.

In spite of its glitches, YSL had some great guests lined up. Beginning with the Independent Film Director Frank Calo from New York who is an award winning Sundance Film recipient and who is doing a movie about “The Latin Kings” a movie that Frank stated he has wanted to do for some time now.

The movie itself isn’t about one of America’s homegrown gangs but more about the processes of a young man wanting to follow in his father’s footsteps as the leader of the “Latin Kings”. And, that of a Cambodian female New York City Detective who strives to help save this youngster from his determined path to head this gang.

In addition, YSL also got a chance to meet an upcoming actor/comedian right here in the studio that’s been cast to play a part in one of Frank’s films, Fernando Martinez. He’s one charming and captivating individual.

YSL’s other guest was Jerry Ross of the Disney Entrepreneur Center right here in Orlando, Florida. It has been said it’s one of Orlando’s quiet energies and Mr. Ross is its leader. It was at this point that those buttons and thing-of-ma-jigs went haywire. For that reason Jose and YSL offer their personal apology for this malfunction and extend a welcome to have Jerry return to the Show.

Of course, Jose covered trivia, fine wines under $25, recipes, and cigars while Haydee reviewed this week’s Fashion. Then Jose spoke about the “The Heath Debate” and the racism which appears to showing its nasty head all over again in the guise of political discord but don’t just take our word for it.


Fashion...
What’s New in Eyeglass Frames
March 20, 2010
Teka Eyewear uses very eclectic materials such as buffalo horn, leather, aluminum and exotic woods to emphasize craftsmanship and sophisticated elegant styling. Their tagline philosophy is "Frames That Demand Respect ... Because You Deserve It." So it’s no wonder their frames won the ‘Best New Product’ awards at both the spring and fall International Vision Expo conventions last year.

They have an interesting new style for women. The TK107 frame with tiny stones embedded in airy rings on the temples. This frame is lightweight and appears almost rimless from the front. Other frames are more unisex, with simple horn or wood temples and plain metal fronts. Their frames can be found in most optical stores nationwide.

"Sober and powerful" is how Giorgio Armani Eyewear describes the 13 men's styles in its latest collection. Armani fans will notice that the line has returned to its roots, with ruthlessly precise shapes and pure colors. Color combinations are palladium with a black front, light gold with a dark Havana front and light gold with a horn-ruthenium front.

Other featured styles include an acetate plastic frame with a round eye shape and key-shaped bridge, in horn-green, horn-honey or Havana; and another is a 1950s shape in thick plastic that comes in dark Havana, light amber, honey, black, blue or dark orange. While these styles are designed for men, women can wear them, too. The new collection also includes a women's butterfly-shaped design in four color choices.

Boucheron Paris Express added four new lines to its luxury eyewear collection. This company, founded in 1858 by a French family dynasty, launched its first eyewear collection in 1994. This year's new styles feature wood, buffalo horn, gold and precious stones.

Four rim styles in nylon or full-rimmed rectangles are available for men and women. Sunglass styles for men in rectangular and aviator rims also available. Also is "Ava," named after 1950s Hollywood star Ava Gardner. Designed for women, the Ava line features four prescription eyewear styles in hues such as satin bronze and matte gold, and three sunglass styles in wood.

And then of course there are the new styles from Humphrey's Eyewear which include a stainless steel semi-rimless eyeglass frame for women. The frame is very lightweight for comfort, with a black front and a bold combination of black and white elements in the temples.

Other frames in the collection include full and semi-rimless styles, in stainless steel and acetate plastic, some with cut-outs in the temples and hinge areas. They feature lively colors ranging from red to violet-pink and patterns such as a wave design. Some colors are iridescent.

In a nutshell, eyeglasses are definitely a part of your personal fashion statement. Most frames are sensibly priced for modern, budget-minded buyers. Though it’s true you’ll find a vast selection by various known designers from aviators to oversized but each line will have their own stylish and on-trend collection. Just narrow your choice to the ones that compliment your eyes, while still framing the shape of your face. Eyewear should never detract from your elegance.

Tune in next week and hear for yourself live just how real radio is heard and done filled with its colorful opps and conversations as together we move forward into the future. So remember if it’s Saturday and the hour is Noon then its time for the Yo Soy Latino Radio Show.
