Gosh!!! I really love that Play Boy Image at the bottom, I´m the guy over the motorcycle and the lady it´s my chick.
Anyway, I will be adding a lot of magazine articles about Hollywood, fashion, Barack Obama, and other interesting topics and news around the world, so you can read them, practice and know more about American Culture.
Do you know that even though all the persons who live in America are Americans, Europe and other international countries called "AMERICANS" to the people who lives in United States.
So while people who live in Mexico are called Mexicans, people who live in United States are called Americans !!!! Voila!! from now on you will call Americans to the people who live only in United States.
Now, Why am I going to choose articles about Hollywood, artists, Megan Fox, Barack Obama and all that "stuff"? BECAUSE ... I want you to improve with the common langage of America, learn some informal slangs, and so you don´t get bored. THANKS !!!!
What´s a SLANG? The slangs are these unique words used by american teenagers which are not in the Larrouse Diccionary because they are really really informal. Let me write an exapmle for you, it´s like if some foreign student want to find out the meaning of "WEY" or "RUCO" or "CARAJO". He will never gonna find out the meaning of these words in the diccionary. These are words only mexicans are acostumed, know them meaning and know when it´s time to use them.

THE STYLE MAKER
Only a handful of true originals command the defining title of "THE". A simple yet powerful word, it´s reserved for the best known, most established, and most important people and things.
Thanks to his eponymous clothing line, Michael Bastian has become the name to know among contemporary designers. After years serving as men´s fashion director at a top-tier department store, Bastian - through modern reinventions of classic American looks - now sets the standard with a signature combination of edge and prep.
He is used to having the first word on style and, with more than fifty retail locations carrying his line across the globe, this buyer-turned-designer is extending his influence at home and overseas, proving that domestic style can spark an international craze. The Glenlivet, the single malt that started it all, wishes to salute The Style Maker, Michael Bastian - a fellow THE.
