The Winter Olympics and Hot-Blooded Latinas

Submitted by on March 1, 2010 – 1:07 pm2 Comments

The Winter Olympics have been going on in Vancouver these past few weeks. No, I have not been watching.

Occasionally, I will peak over my husband’s shoulder (he watches online) and then I can do a five minute rant on “I just don’t get the appeal. It’s cold. The sports are crazy. (Can you call curling a sport?) They are life-threatening…blah, blah… I just don’t get it.”

I would cover my eyes and cross myself during the ski jumping. “Ay, Dios mio!”

Eric laughs and attributes my Bad Winter Olympic Attitude to being a “hot-blooded Latina.” Comfort and warmth are my descriptive words.

I didn’t talk much about the Winter Olympics to my friends, because, to be honest, I just don’t get the appeal and okay, they freak me out just a little bit.

So, imagine my surprise and delight when our own hot-blooded Latina, Jennifer Lopez took a turn on Saturday night live with this sketch about Telemundo and the Winter Olympics.
