Latinas on Lifetime – Maids, Whores, or Cocktail Waitresses
Really Lifetime?
Lifetime – the network for women, has picked up Marc Cherry’s new series, Devious Maids. Centering on the scandalous lives of Latina maids for the wealthy.
So we currently have a show about hookers and maids. Wonderful role models. And on Army Wives, the Latina couple is portrayed as a complete stereotype.
The male character, PFC Hector Cruz, played by the handsome Joseph Julian Soria, is depicted as an angry, jealous solider that beats up a guy who talks to his wife, Gloria.
Gloria Cruz is played by Alyssa Diaz. She doubts if she loves her husband, spends all his money, and doesn’t understand why he has to work such long hours.
Why does Lifetime perpetuate these stereotypes? Where are the Latina teachers, engineers, and doctors.
And don’t even get me started about the hookers with hearts of gold on The Client List.
Do women really want to watch these shows? Seems like they are targeting male fantasies – a hooker, a maid, a cocktail waitress.
What do you think?

Rescue Tails – Jill, Shiloh, Tilly, and Mimi
On New Years Eve – I saw Jill’s networking picture at Lancaster.
Jill at Lancaster
She is the cutest pug/boston Terrier mix. But I didn’t know anyone who could pull from Lancaster and that shelter is very high kill and also three hours away from where I live.
I called the shelter and they said she was super urgent and they couldn’t guarantee she would be there by morning.
I called my friends at Gone to the Dogs rescue and they found someone to pull her for me.
Jill's Freedom Picture
He took her to rescue oasis, a boarding facility nearby. We couldn’t find transport down to us but another rescue, Sunny Skies, agreed to take her and they adopted her out shortly after she arrived.
Tilly
Gorgeous Tilly was also a pug/boston mix. She was at Kern County. When Gone to the Dogs went to pull another dog, they saw her and pulled her for us. She stayed in foster for a few weeks with Trudy and then she was transported down to Katella.
We received 10 applications on her in the first week. She was adopted out to a great family and now has a Boxer brother.
Tilly Forever Home
Shiloh and Mimi were both on Baldwin Park’s networking lists.
Shiloh at Shelter
Shiloh was a sweet chihuahua mix puppy with a broken leg. The shelter paid to get her leg fixed.
Shiloh Freedom Picture
He was adopted shortly after we pulled him and now has a great life with his human brother.
Shiloh's Furever Home
We pulled Mimi because we had someone contact us who was interested in her.
Mimi at Shelter
But once we pulled her the adopter backed out! We didn’t have a foster for her so she went into boarding.
Mimi's Freedom Pic
But boarding was very stressful for her. She was extremely scared there. Luckily, our rescue friends at Collar of Hope found an adopter for her so we transferred her up to them.
