I rave about this company a lot...they're called Pure Romance and they offer women a great way to make extra income (or go full time) by holding parties with their girl friends. No joke! They are adult toy parties--you're basically a consultant on intimate products, toys, and have the BEST converstations about sex. It really turns into a girls night out and I think it's a fun idea for bachelorette parties, birthdays, or if you just want to have a good time with the girls.

Round 2 of the World Baseball Classic begins on Saturday at Dolphins Stadium in Florida, and Sunday at Petco Park in San Diego. Even though my Dominican team lasted about as long as Bill Richardson’s Commerce Secretary gig (thank you…wait for it…KINGDOM OF THE NETHELANDS), rest assured friends, Latin American countries are still representing in the tournament.

All right, people, time for part two of our preview on the Latin American teams competing in the 2009 World Baseball Classic. On Monday, I profiled the national teams from Venezuela, Panama, and Mexico and now we turn our eyes to the remaining Latin powerhouses (by the way, I bet any amount of money that in ‘09 a team from a Spanish-speaking country takes down the WBC–no disrespect to defending champs Japan, but we’re due).

Mexico: Santa Claus (pronounced Santa Clos) is the merriest Mexican in el D.F. In Mexico Lindo, though, Santa takes a back seat to the Three Wise Men and Jesus (the shock, we know). For the most part most mejicanos practice La Novena, a nine-day religious observation leading up to Christmas Eve. Once dinner is served piñatas, tamales and drunken relatives run amuck . . . it’s tradition.
