I think by Mediterranean, she means dark hair,strong features, not blonde. I also think she wants someone with typical thin body type, since she seems obsessed with being thin and buff. 2. She is trying to be "in vogue" with Flamenco, and will likely give it the "Hollywood" twist. But still, I think any notoriety for Flamenco generally makes more people interested, and therefore more people hired. It's not ideal, but maybe not terrible?<br />Reply:<br />I remember once, when someone was talking badly about a music group, saying that they were "ripping off" flamenco by playing just rumba and calling it flamenco, EVA ENCINIAS replied with this: Many people have come to puro flamenco by way of the Gypsy Kings.

It seems to me that anyone with a bit of hiphop dance training and the ability to mimmick a flamenco dancer, with the right look, can score some decent dough with none of the blood, sweat and tears real flamencos put into their art and studies. Plus, I never really liked Madonna. - JasonJason and Mele Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15131220701925313982noreply@blogger.com
