Whatever’s on my mind really.

A peek at illustration inspiring celebrity sexiness, quirky news stories from inherently pornified pop culture, tips, sketchbook and work in progress, reviews and other things of interest; whatever’s on my mind really—which more fool you if you ever take that seriously.

Latest Picks is a sort of mini-blog for daily thoughts and picks. Longer articles, stories & sketches are found in the full-size blog, where indeed Latest Picks are moved when updates to a story make it too large.

Note: Both Latest Picks and Blog are to be retired at the end of September, although both will remain available indefinitely as an archived part of the site. No further updates to past stories will be made.

Sofia Vergara is the best-paid actress on TV. She’s also a business maven (money.cnn.com).

Sofia Vergara—Mega Chichis
Too big for exercise but certainly no career burden.
“Vergara isn’t hurting for cash. She’s been the highest-paid actress on television for the past six years according to Forbes, with total earnings of $41.5 million in the year ended June. Forbes says that Vergara’s role on ‘Modern Family’ accounts for only a quarter of her income. The rest comes from movie roles, speaking engagements, licensing deals and her own businesses. Her ventures are often aimed at empowerment. ‘As a woman who has been able to build my career through business, business was the most logical way to enable other women,’ said Vergara.”

Indeed, and as with such in a saturated market, attention to a particular niche is often wise:

“The actress got her start in business in 1994, when she noticed there weren’t many agents representing Hispanics in the entertainment industry. Her response was to find a business solution. The result—launched with co-founder Luis Balaguer—was talent management firm Latin World Entertainment (LWE). Los Angeles-based LWE now represents some of the biggest names in Spanish-language TV, and has since expanded into licensing and marketing.”

Much Spanish language TV playing in Central and South American being produced in Miami, suggesting trade is more reciprocal than Orange Don’s populist “America First” alt-rhetoric would suggest: Why Miami is now a hub for Latino TV (wlrn.org, May 2013).
