I was first introduced to her by Nina Flowers on RuPauls Drag Race... Then, Zm Holt shared Como Acostumbro with me while in Barcelona... I was lucky enough to be serenaded by caro Mickey Negrón on our walks up to Rosemont from Hemispheric Institute Encuentros MTL 2014 with her songs (usted es verdad su reencarnación, bellissimo). Then Juanjo Cid shared this gripping doc about her fabulous & tordid life: Muchissimas gracias, guapo! SHE IS... La Lupe!!! Newly she & always Eartha Kitt are divas of colour I most relate to as a often confused cappucino-coloured sissy boy of north & south european descent who grew up in the often very white North-West. Porché? Strong women of mixed cultures & blood, weird, crazy performers, smitten with beautiful men, who never really fit into any one place, women who gave it their all onstage & sang with all the joy & pain that life possesses for those of us lucky/unlucky enough to attain that level of emotional conciousness... Watch the doc & discover what Cubans, Puerto Ricans, New York & Latinos (and anyone who remembers her on the The Dick Cavett Show) have known for decades... VIVA LA LUPE PARA SIEMPRE!!!!!!!!! Aaaahhhyiyiyi!!!
