As far as fashion goes, the ladies that walked the green carpet in Houston last night walked a line between experimental good taste and complete delusion, and often time, a mix of the two.

For example, boricua Kany Garcia (who happily enjoyed some Grammy wins last night) represents a perfect blend of “What was she thinking?” and “That’s not half bad.”

Her haircut is a little too Flock of Seagulls for my taste, but she’s young and cute and she can make it work. And some wise fashionista informed her that purple is one hot color to wear this fall, so she gets a tentative nod of approval from us.

Others were not quite as lucky. Alejandra Guzman already got busted by us, so we’ll leave her alone for now (even though she walked last night’s carpet looking like a chicken someone tried to strangle).

One of my favorite Spaniards, Rosario Flores (did anyone see Almodovar’s Hable Con Ella?), sadly fell blindly into bad taste with her hot mess of an outfit. Thigh high boots? Crotch-baring dress? Girl, that look didn’t work for J. Lo, and its not working for you.

Mildly exhausted after staying up to watch last night’s 9th Annual Latin Grammys in its entirety (all three hours of it!) I fear my judgement may be a little impaired this morning. Or maybe its just that visions of Alejandra Guzman prancing around stage dressed as a psychotic crow are still haunting me. Yeah, I’m pretty sure its the latter.

I’ve called her an old crow on several occasions, but I’m glad she helped me out and dressed the part last night. Her performance at last night’s award show was introduced as a song she wrote for her daughter…all I can say is that I’m glad this crazy bat isn’t my mother. Seeing my mom roll around on top of a piano before ripping her clothes off might scar me for life.

Then again, if my mother had T-Rex legs and sang like a dying toad, I might also be a little messed up in the head. But I guess its all trademark Alejandra. I’ve never known this woman to exercise good judgment, or good taste for that matter.

The countdown until the 9th Annual Latin Grammys may be in its final hours, but last night saw a little preview of the Latin music star power that runs the show, as Gloria Estefan formally received her award for this year’s “Person of the Year.”

But if you think about it, is there any major Latin act that didn’t make it (semi) big without the help of the Estefans? Glorio and her husband Emilio are the straight up Corleone’s of the music industry.

Last night, some of the big names took the stage in Gloria’s honor, including Carlos Santana, Jose Feliciano, cutey John Legend, Andy Garcia, and Patti LaBelle. Then again, there were the random names, like Jon Secada and Kenny G, that also performed last night. Even Gloria’s punky daughter Emily performed a little somethin’ somethin’.

But I guess its all a testament to Gloria’s music biz muscle.

Yesterday’s rehearsals may have been full of random C-list acts, but today’s rehearsals in Texas brought out some of the heavy hitters.

Legendary kings of the corrido, Los Tigres Del Norte took the stage to rehearse their act. Also out today was singer Alejandra Guzman, looking disturbingly witchy. Then again, its never really much of a shock when Alejandra looks witchy.

With only one day to go before the big show, everything is starting to fall into place. I’m very eager to see how on Earth crazy old Guzman plans on working a giant black sheet into her performance.

So it seems that everyone who walked the red carpet last night at Los Premios MTV Latin America was either drunk, high, or on some new sort of allergy medication. Whatever the cause may have been, one thing remains true: I’ve never seen such impaired fashion judgement in all my life!

Can anyone please explain to me what the hell was going on with the musical group “Austin TV” (pictured above)? Are they so unknown by the general public that they’ve been forgotten and started to mold?

Its one thing to accept and appreciate funky threads from the musical legends of Cafe Tacuba (who, let’s be honest, weren’t even that funky by comparison). Or pretty little Julieta Venegas, who has always had the fashion sense of an off-beat, color blind fairy (but I love her anyway!). I’ll even accept some of what those “musicians” from Tokio Hotel have going on, because at least that’s their style and they’re sticking to it.

But Flavor Flav? Are you serious? Is anyone else mildly offended by this (see picture below)?

And I can’t even begin to understand why Kim Kardashian went all the way to Guadalajara for the award show. She’s not even Latina! Homegirl is Armenian. And -to the best of my knowledge- she’s not a musician, either. Oh, there were just way too many mysteries going on last night for me to try and figure them all out in one single post.

Seeing glamorous, flawless celebrities can oftentimes make mujeres feel -let’s face it- like hideous dudes. Luckily, there is a bit of justice in the world. Justice we like to call, “make-up.” Who hasn’t felt the salvation of some meticulously applied mascara?  Or stood in reverence to the mysterious powers of foundation and concealer?

Let’s take singer/actress Paty Manterola (pictured above) for example. We’re all used to seeing her looking sexy and seductive. But without her make-up, homegirl looks like her own evil twin!

All those times we sit and look at actresses and singers with their fabulous hair and fabulous faces that make us feel like crap, let us all sit back and remember this post, and find peace of mind in the fact that not only do celebrities look plain and ordinary without their makeup, some of them look like straight up brujas!

Classically beautiful actress Ana de la Reguera looks about twenty years older without her daily supply of maquillaje…

Mexican Legend Alejandra Guzman is regretting not being a PTA-Soccer Mom right about now.

Daughter Frida Sofía has done it again!

It was only a few months ago when People En Español Magazine published the story about the released photos of 16 year-old Frida caught kissing NYC classmate Katie Ross in a Mexican getaway, where she was allegedly also heavily intoxicated with drugs and alcohol.

Now this revealing photo (above) has been taunting Guzman again.  The image of Frida Sofía being more than “amistosa,” with actress Leticia Perdigón’s daughter, Valeria, has surfaced everywhere and it’s causing a near heart ataque!

Looks like these Latin Celebrity Mothers are going to have to spend more time with their hijas if they’re worried about more scandalous family frames interrumping their own publicity.
