Highlights of Today’s Show...
April 24, 2010
Its 12:00 Noon and time for the Yo Soy Latino Radio hour as talk show host Jose Miranda welcomes back his listeners to another vibrant and most compelling program. YSL radio is always pleased to bring you the best in politics, trivia, fashion, movies to the freshest new talent weekly and this week YSL is thrilled to have Ms. Darlyn Finch — writer, poet, and author. However, before doing so Miranda turns to co-host Haydee Ayala for a review on this week’s movie pick, Clash of the Titans (2010).

Haydee admits she couldn’t wait for this movie to come out but 20 minutes into the movie her excitement faded. Although she does say there are a few outstanding actors that should be mentioned like Liam Neeson who played a convincing Zeus, though he had a small role, he did a lot with the screen time he had.

However, according to Haydee, this 2010 version of Clash of the Titans paled to the original. Overall, she exclaims there are some good scenes in the movie, a few laughs, and some cool fight settings that make this film somewhat entertaining. Although she wasn't a big fan having seen the original, she does point out that if you've never seen the original Clash of the Titans you may enjoy this version. On the YSL meter from 1-5, this movie’s rating is a 3.

Then Jose proceeds to discuss cigars as he invites proprietor Alan Adamski from Ol’ Times Cigars to share some of his most popular cigar picks with our listeners. It isn’t long before Jose makes ready to introduce the most charming poet supreme, Ms. Darlyn Finch.

After a few pleasantries between Ms. Finch and radio host Jose Miranda they begin speaking about poetry. Specifically her first book published in February 2007, Red Wax Rose, which contains her first collection of poems. Shortly thereafter and with the aide of Mr. Brad Kuhn, former journalist himself and winner of the 2006 Thomas Burnett Swann Poetry Prize, Ms. Finch begins to read from a second publication, a novella-in-verse, titled Three Houses by Brad Kuhn and Darlyn Finch.

The reality and true nature of this poem comes alive like a song and that is the wonder of poetry. For poetry is a language which tends to bring us closer to the mystery of what is, to healing a wound or broken heart, to an expression of passion or a newfound love, even to giving hope to go forward in life.

As the hour comes to a close Ms. Finch announces the upcoming 4th Annual Fringe Poetry Smackdown on May 22 and 29 at 10 p.m. Therefore, for all you poets out there, they are looking to schedule you! Bring your poems, your thick skin, and your sense of humor; and, prepare to be criticized American Idol style.

Fashion...
The Wrap Dress!
April 24, 2010
The wrap dress is the most precious and timeless fashion piece in a woman’s wardrobe simply because of its ability to contour a woman’s shape giving her that slimming waistline, bust-enhancing and hip-reducing outline. And what gal doesn’t want that hour-glass figure. It is the one style that when you pair it with tall stilettos can be worn to any formal event. Furthermore, it can be dressed down with a denim jacket and sandals or a casual blazer with low heels for the office or just going on a casual stroll.

Ever since Diane von Furstenberg introduced the wrap dress as a high fashion item in 1972, it was quickly adopted by many celebrities as the most timeless style in a woman’s wardrobe. Much of its longevity is due primarily to its flexibility and versatility. It is also the perfect outfit for pregnant women because it is comfortable yet stylish and unapologetically sexy.

Today’s styles go from lavish prints to solids. If you are only going to consider one wrap then selected the classic black as that can be your go to anywhere dress. There are several designers that have a pretty good selection — for example the Long Sleeve Wrap Circle Dress by CORPUS for about $40. Then there’s the Victoria’s Secret Jersey Wrap Dress for about $65. It is very sultry, with a deep v-neck providing you with plenty of cleavage, and made of a comfy cotton-spandex blend for that sexy look but not too tight.

Another is the DVF Pamelot Wrap Dress for those gals that want the spotlight on them. The cost of this particular dress is about $625. Its classic design gives a more elegant style adding pretty tiers and ruffles.

There you have it ladies, the epitome of easy elegance and the purr-fect dress for any gal! You can’t go wrong with having this item in your wardrobe.
