My stomache is a cage for a thousand butterflies. It is the night before my Doble Quinceanera. The event that i have been planning for 6 months now. It has also been 2 days since i returned from the Magiacl Woods. 2 days since my valiant Prince Jose Luis Guadalupe Vargas Chavez the III killed the evil Queen Cochina Tonga and set the Merry Woods People free. So much has happened to me in the last month. I have grown so much. I feel that now i can truly celebrate becoming a woman -again.
We rehearsed the Waltz today. It is simply beautiful. To be able to gather 30 people who i love dearly and create living art for everyone else to see is something that i only used to dream about. Magic happens in many different ways. You don't always need a Gingerbread Dragon or a Whimsical Woodchuck to experience it. I have learned that you make magic happen. Love, inspiration, and imagination are the fuels to creating miracles.
Tomorrow i will enter my fiesta and think of all of the Merry Woods People, of my Prince, and of everyone left from my past. I will celebrate all of the people that i have in my life now. People that dwell in my heart. They are like a functioning machine that pumps the blood through my arteries. I am alive and happy now, because of them.
Join me tomorrow in commemorating life and womanhood. Doble Quinceanera will be held at The Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco. Sunday, November 14th 2010. Live the magic and share the dream.
Muchas Gracis,
Ambrosia Salad

La Llorona and the death of Queen Cochina Tonga
As Prince Jose Luis Guadalupe Vargas Chavez the III and I arrived to Valle de Viva with The Whimsical Woodchuck Sisters on the noble back of the his Gingerbread Dragon, Death Breathe, we were greeted by all of the Merry Woods People. But just as we began to tell them about our plan to set them free, out of the sky came the devil herself, the evil Queen Cochina Tonga! Ripping through the clouds on her giant flying Rat, she headed towards us like lighting in a storm. "You will never be free, she screamed. Make me my Dream Fortress!"
Within a matter of seconds the Prince pushed The Whimsicals Woodchuck Sisters and I off of his Dragon and out of harms way. He flew up to the Queen before she could land and hurled a firey blow to her and her Rat. He swung his mighty Sword of Centuries and chopped off her head! As it flew down to earth it spewed metallic blood which rained all over the village. As the bloody rain poured down on the Merry Woods People it set them free of her spell. The evil Queen was dead and her Rat burnt to a crisp by Death Breathes relentless fury.
As the commotion settled and the Prince returned, i was recieved with a look that i will never forget. The Prince told me that he knew I must return to san Francisco where i belonged, but that he must stay behind and rule the now free kingdom. He was the true heir to the thrown and the Merry Woods People needed him now more than ever. I must return in time for my grand celebration. My Doble Quinceanera which is now only 3 days way. This Sunday, November 14th at The Rickshaw stop is where everyone that i love will join to celebrate me becoming a woman -again.
As tears fell from my young supple face the Prince wiped them off with his sleeve. He told me i must go back to my old life. That he would keep his sleeve soaked with my tears so that one day he would be able to find me. I gave him one last kiss. And as our lips locked the world turned. The Velvet Sky caved in. I was surrounded by light and was blinded.
When my eyes finally came to I looked up and realized i was on the Golden Gate Bridge. I had returned home. My time in The Magical Woods had come to an end. But the next adventure of my life had just begun.

De Colores
As my fair Prince Jose Luis Guadalupe Vargas Chavez the III and I flew across the Velvet Sky on a Gingerbread Dragon and above the Magical Woods to Valle de Viva where we would set the Merry Woods People free i fell asleep. I fell asleep and dreamt of my upcoming Doble Quinceanera which is happening this Sunday, November 14th at The Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco.
I dreamt of the 5 special colors that will represent my commemoration. The first being Red. Red for el corazon, or the heart. It is my romantic heart that purpells me to create and to love. Then i dreamt of Pink. Pink represents the little girl who i once was and the woman i now have become. Yellow is the color of my tears. Tears of joy and tears of pain. Tears to remind me of overcoming obsticles of the past and tears to remind me of good times to come. Blue represents the ocean where i grew up and dreamt that one day i would live far across the oceans end. It also reminds me of the sky. The sky is like my imagination. Vast, bright, and sometimes cloudy. And lastly, Gold. The color of riches. Royalty. Elegance and decadence. Just like my Prince.
All of these colors will be present at my fiesta. On the outfits that all 30 Damas and Chambelanes that will waltz with me as i present myself to the celebration. These colores will also be on my dress. Which is delicately and lovingly being made by my good friends and genius craftsmen Kurt Fausset and Mr. David. I am a being that desperately needs color in my life. Color to survive, to create, and to inspire. Therefore, color is a muy importante element in commemorating my becoming a woman -again.
As we reached Valle de Viva, i knew that my trip to the Magical Woods would always hold a significant place in my memory. And that all of the Magical Merry Woods People would live in a Dream Castle that dwells in my heart. Then i awoke to hear my Princes valient voice.
"Come, he said. The people await."
I knew it was time to say adios.

Prince Jose Luis Guadalupe Vargas Chavez the III
Another 2 days have passed since i sang out of the barred dungeon windows to my Prince. 2 days since i sang Dejame Volver Contigo with all of my might. Just the way my 2 winged frind Selena Songbird told me i should. I was beginning to beleive that my song was never heard.
Just then i heard a great rumble past the dungeon quarters. I heard metal clinging and screams of terror. Was it the evil Queen CochinaTonga and her beastly brood coming for me and the Whimsical Woodchuck Sisters? Then appering in front of the dungeon door like a valient statue was my Prince on a giant Gingerbread Dragon! My Prince Jose Luis Guadalupe Vargas Chavez the III and his noble steed Death Breathe! He had slain all of Tongas Hairy Henchmen and was proceeding to melt the iron bars of my prison with Death Breathes firey hurl!
Gracias a Dios! We all shouted and i lept into his arms! Aye que guapo was my Prince! He looked like a younger, and mas sexy Enrique Iglesias! Have you come to take me away from the Magical Woods and back to my home San Francisco, i asked him. He nodded, si. Ya vamos mi amor.
Ayeeeeee! It's like a sueno come true. He put The Whimsical Woodchuck Sisters and I on his dragon and off we flew. Back to Valle de Viva, the village where all the Merry Woods People live. We must hurry. i told my Prince. We must be back in time for my Doble Quinceanera. It's only 6 days away! Claro, he said with his beautiful smile. It's Sunday, November 14th at The Rickshaw Stop. You will be there on time. Te prometo!

Tainted Dungeon
It's been 2 days now that i've been shackled and bound in the evil Queen Cochina Tonga's Tainted Dungeon. She has cut out The Whimsical Woodchuck Sisters buck teeth and strung them on a chain that she now wears around her neck. Que lastima! Once again me and my careless journeys have brought strife to myself and the ones i care about. I often feel like i'm going through life satisfying myself by satisfying others. Then wonder if in the end, any satisfaction is being had by anybody at all.
Even though my beloved Doble Quinceanera is only 7 days away and i have been trapped here in The Magical Woods forced to build Dream Castles, i feel it is my duty to help save these once merry woodspeople from the clutches of this dirty Puta of a queen.
I wonder if all of my amigas back home are making preperations for the fiesta, which is Sunday, November 14th at the Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco. If only my valient Prince Jose Luis Guadalupe Vargas Chavez the III were here to rescue me. Then i remembered what Selena Songbird once told me about the power of music. I decided to sing out into open night sky through the barred dungeon window. I sang with all of my heart Dejame Volver Contigo. I sang until the Hot Tamale Sun rose from the Crushed Velvet Sky that presumed above The Magical Woods. Will the Prince hear my desperate cry? And will he deliver me and my friends from evil?
Aye!!!

Fresh Papel Picado and The Whimsical Woodchuck Women
One morning the Whimsical Woodchuck Women of the Magical Woods and I snuck away from the dreary lair of Queen Cochina Tonga and decided to have arts and crafts time in the Glimmering Glen. The Whimsical Woodchuck Women chucked 101 fresh pieces of bark from the Tallest Trees of Trust. We then dyed the bark with fairies blood and tears that we had stolen from the Queens dungeon while she was sleeping. Fairies blood comes in all colors depending on the season. And their tears come in several colors depending on mood.
We told eachother our favorite Fairies Tales and cut out pictures on the dyed paper and strung every single one from fresh cut vines. We hung them from the trees and danced around to traditional musica de mananitas till the early morning. Aye, what a bonita time!
At sunrise the Woodchuck Sisters told me i may use every piece of Papel Picado for my upcoming Doble Quinceanera, which is happenening Sunday, November 14th @ The Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco. They told me to think of them when i strung them across the entire dance floor. And to request 3 special songs from the mariachi band, Trip Sol de Mexico: Sabor A Mi, Cuccurucucu Paloma, and La Llorona.
Out of from the Dingleberry Bushes 3 of Queen Cochina Tonga's Hairy Henchmen sprung and captured us with their skin sacks. They stripped us of our rags and threw us in the Tainted Dungeon where we were shackeled and bound!

Queen Cochina Tonga and The Venus Sisters
As i slave away building Dream Castles here in the Magical Forest i am constantly persecuted by it's evil ruler, Queen Cochina Tonga. The night i arrived was the same night Cochina Tonga poisened and killed her only sister, Queen LaTina Fea. After taking over the thrown she put all of the merry woods people under a mystical spell, forcing them to build her Dream Fortress.
Since i am not born from the woods her spell does not effect me. But she still has me held captive. My only happy time is thinking about my upcoming Doble Quinceanera on Sunday, November 14th at The Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco. I also find such soft bliss and hapiness when i visit The Venus Sisters. A pair of old and wise flytraps at the edge of the Lake of Lushfaire.
While one sister sings sweet canciones by Vicente Fernandez, the other alows me to enter her mouth where i dive down into her stomache and into a pool of euphoric pleasures. There i can imagine happy times and think of all 30 amigas that will waltz for me on the day of my grand fiesta!
After 7 minutes she spits me back up and then i bathe myself in the Lake of Lushfaire. Then saddly, it's back to work for the wretched Queen Cochina Tonga.
Aye,will this nightmare ever end?...
