News, Reviews & Commentary on Lesbian and Bisexual women in Entertainment and the Media

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Paz Vega

Can I just say that actress Paz Vega is hotter than Madrid in August?

Although she's co-starred in numerous films in her native Spain, it wasn't until she landed the role of Flor in the James L. Brook's film, Spanglish, that American audiences got a proper introduction to Paz

Speaking of hot, here's a print ad she did for Magnum ice cream bars that had Spanish conservatives hot under the collar.

Foro Español de la Familia, Spain's Catholic watchdog group, found the lesbian undertones of the ad campaign offense, which only makes me love it more.

I can't understand what the problem is. Clearly, Paz is merely trying to impart a lesson about sharing to her friend.

In other ice cream news - many readers found the ice cream theme of the Jessica Alba photo downright pornographic. Personally, I didn't think the Alba shot was so offensive it qualified as porn, but I did find it a little messy. Dripping ice cream doesn't remind me of bodily fluids. It makes me want to grab a wet-nap.

Is a hard chocolate shell is the only thing standing between slick art direction and porn?

    Paz Vega, me dejas sin palabras...

    I have been infatuated with Paz since I watched "El Otro Lado de la Cama." I highly recommend it for those of you who just need an excuse to ogle Paz. It's a modern Spanish musical, and since I hate musicals, I can't recommend the movie other than to look at Paz, but I have found I stand alone in that respect.

    MAN, that woman's PERFECT.

    True glory consists in doing what deserves to be written and writing what deserves to be read.

    "I can't understand what the problem is. Clearly, Paz is merely trying to impart a lesson about sharing to her friend."

    mmm...paz vega...

    I saw these ads last summer and had to make sure my sunglasses were on, so I wouldn't look like SUCH a fool ambling down the street with my eyes glued on the billboards. Gah! She's gorgeous.

    Is it wrong?

    Is it wrong that i want to take a bite of her and not the ice cream?  Maybe that's the point. lol. *swoons twice* I love her even more now.

    Hungry or Horny?

    Now that is an ice cream ad! And your point about the two women just learning to share aspect shouldn't be understated either. As for Foro Español de la Familia, well some people can read anything into anything.

    hey,

    isn't that her twice? Definitely looks like it in the first pic. Not that I think there's anything wrong with self-loving. :) I mean, if I... mm, never mind. But still. 

    Don't dream it, be it.

    Hot hot hot icecream!

    Paz Vega is really gorgeous!
    And about the ad: In Spain things are very different.  It is one of the most catholic countries in the world.  The whole church protested when they legalized gay marriage with ALL the benefits.  But the president confronted the church saying that the government had the obligation to protect ALL citizens rights to be equal.  If they wanted to marry gay people or not, it was up to the Church, but the government reconnized the civil rights of ALL its citizens... So, the lesbian undertone is widely accepted.  They have many shows with very openly gay and lesbian characters. But they still have their protesters.  At least there, gay marriage is legal!

    sex and lucia

    Another excellent film starring Paz Vega is "Sex and Lucia" directed by Julio Medem.  It's really worth seeing.  She's also amazing in "Talk to Her" directed by Pedro Almodovar.  Both films are excellent regardless of Vega.

    Paz is way hotter than Penelope...

    God she's just hot.

    I think both are hot!!

     If I had the luck of having to choose between the two of them, I couldn't do it.

    Dayum! Thanks for posting

    Dayum! Thanks for posting those! Such a lovely thing to wake up to.

    And yeah, I have to wonder too if that's Paz twice or if it's her and another equally hot woman.

    I too couldn't choose between her and Penelope Cruz. And now I'm thinking about how much hotter that ad would be if it featured the two of them. *swoon*

    Power

    as far as i'm concerned it proves the power of advertising. the only reason i'm not on my way to buy a magnum right now is that it's almost midnight and the shop is closed! power according to Stephen Lukes is ''when A exercises power over B when A affects B in a manner contrary to B's interest''. 'A' being the advertising people and 'B' being me, to buy a magnum would not be in my best interest but I'll be damned if i don't buy one first thing tomorrow!

    Qué guapa!

    Paz Vega is amazing! I saw these pictures on a website in spain and there was some controversy around them but she's so hott that I don't know how anyone could disagree with this. She was the only reason I actually have come to enjoy Spanglish. She completely stole the movie acting-wise, and is just a pleasure to watch. I recommend Sex and Lucia if you want to see more of her (actually, you see ALL(!!!) of her - unfortunately she's having sex with a man most of the movie).

    she is awesome

    I have seen some of her work, and she seems interesting otherwise... never mind gorgeous as well

    except for being ten years younger, and having brown eyes, she also looks like a woman I once loved

    Seems my comment has vanished into thin air. So again I say... Salma, Penelope and now Paz. There cannot ever be enough  hot Latina/Spanish women! Proud to be one of them. (well, maybe not that hot...)

    LUCIA Y EL SEXO- Ahora mismo,si es posible.

    I know it´s already been mentioned in a couple of posts, but I must stress the importance of this movie in the history of hot spanish chicks. For everyone who is by these exquisite pictures barely being introduced to Paz Vega (aka, mamacita), please, please, pretty please take our advice and watch LUCIA Y EL SEXO. Now, if possible. This movie is the epitome of hotness a la española, Paz Vega, Najwa Nimri and Elena Anaya in a movie with sex in the title. It´s like tortilla de patatas with a cherry on top. mmm.

    Oh yeah,unfortunately, lovely as she may be NOTHING is ever hotter then august in madrid. NOTHING.
