Enero marca una fecha
muy importante para mi: el regreso mis series favoritas y el comienzo de nuevos
shows de televisión que me tendrán pegado a la pantalla de mi laptop durante el
año. Muchas de estas series han tomado una pausa por las fiestas de fin de año
pero también hay otras que se han desaparecido por mucho más tiempo.
Cuando me acercaba más
al 2014 tenía dos cosas en mente: “ya falta menos para que regrese Girls” y “ya
falta menos para que estrene Looking”; si no saben de que hablo permítanme refrescar
su gris vida con un poco de color televisivo gracias a las mentes maestras de
HBO.
////////////////////////////////////
January’s arrival marks something very important in my
calendar: the Prodigal Son-ish return of my favorite TV shows. Some of them were
taking a holiday break, but others were just making me more anxious since being
out of the scene for 6 months is what they usually do for their vacations.
Last year, every single day that passed meant that I
was getting closer to: 1) the return of HBO’s Girls and 2) the premiere of
Looking, HBO’s new baby, or should I say boy toy? If you are not fully aware of
what I’m talking about let me bring some colors and clarity to your sad, grey
and blurry life.

Girls: narra la historia de 4
muchachitas en New York, es sinceramente una de las series mejores escritas de
los últimos años y es producida, escrita y co-dirigida por Lena Dunham, una man
de 27 años que ya ha ganado 2 Emmys por esta serie, este domingo se estrenan
los dos primeros episodios de la tercera temporada, lo que indica que tienes
que mover tu nalga y devorarte las dos primeras temporadas en 2 días. Si
tendría que calificarla le pondría: 7 botellas de vodka de 5.
Girls:
it tells the story of Hannah Horvat, a Young girl that along with her clique
live it up New York style. It serves real realness as you get to know these
girls (and guys… and gays) problems that may sound like deep-shit but at the
end are just the perks and cons of being young. The show is co-directed,
produced and written by its leading lady, Lena Dunham, who is now like the
Buddha of a generation. The premiere of its 3rd season is this Sunday so if you
are not familiarized with these gurls I would recommend you to move you ass and
start indulging the other two season, I guarantee you will thank me later. My
qualification for this show is: 7 bottles of vodka out of 5.
Looking: en mis años de
adolescencia, justo en ese momento cuando acepté mi identidad como un niño que
le gustaban los niños, solo hubo una serie que me enseñó claramente (y
crudamente también) el modo de vida de mis ancestros gays de los 90s, Queer As
Folk es a mi opinión una de las mejores series que ha sacado HBO hasta el
momento, por la simple razón de que fue la primera en mostrar al público las
verdades de una comunidad que por mucho tiempo permaneció como tabú.
Casi 20 años después,
HBO lanza una serie que cuenta las andanzas de un grupo de jóvenes gays en San
Francisco, lejos de la vistosidad y la algarabía que “caracteriza” a la
comunidad gay, Looking muestra personajes reales con lo que muchos nos
identificaremos; aparte, Jonathan Groff es el protagonista y como toda serie de
esta network, habrá nudity, which means I am totally in!. La serie estrena el
19 de enero y como no se con cuantas botellas de vodka calificarla, me las tomaré.
Looking: when I came out during my pubescent years there was
only one TV show that explored the rawness of the LGBT community. As a little
rabbit in a field filled with unicorns Queer as Folk was the first window where
I could see what being gay was like when I was little; while I was dreaming
about Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic there were for sure four guys having raunchy
sex in the bathroom of a gay club in Atlanta, in some sort of way I thank this
show for opening up my eyes to the world I was walking into as a gay man. It
also meant a huge step for the whole community; HBO was one of the first (if
not the only one) to openly talk about these issues, which were once considered
taboo.
Nowadays it seems that being gay is the cool thing, but
in HBO’s old fashion Looking brings to the surface through the intertwining
stories of a group of gay men living in San Francisco what many of us are not
comfortable talking about: the fear of loneliness, the deviant roads of the gay
underworld, awkward sex, the perennial quest for the self, the concern of being
rejected, the tenderness and warmth of a relationship between two men, et al.;
everything away from the paraphernalia of the flamboyant cliché of being gay. Also,
Jonathan Groff stars in it and may include nudity, I’m in! The show premieres
Jan 19th and I don’t know how many bottles of vodka I should give so
I’m gonna drink them.
Ya con esos humildes
resúmenes puestos sobre la mesa solo les quiero contar que estoy fucking
emocionado y no puedo esperar hasta el domingo asi que me reuní con unas amigas
cercanas, le dijimos a nuestro amigo Eduardo Vega Patiño y fuimos al atelier de
Sara Bassan por ropita para después tomarnos estas fotitos en las que cada uno
representa su personaje favorito de Girls, en mi caso, adoro a Shoshana y
obviamente a Elijah (digo, estamos hablando de Andrew Rannells), pero ¿cuál es
el/la tuya? Are you a Gurl?
With this reprise being presented I just want to say
that I am fucking excited, I cannot wait until Sunday, so I gathered some of my
closest friends for a photoshoot inspired by our favourite characters from
Girls, I’m all about Shoshanna and Elijah. Then we asked our friend Eduardo
Vega to take the pictures while wearing Panamanian designer Sara Bassan. Now
that you know my favourite Girl I wanna know, which Gurl do you think represent
you at your most? Are you a Girl? Will be waiting for your comments ;)
