Turning your left cheek toward the camera makes you more attractive. Many artists have shown a consistent preference for painting their subjects from the left side, and studies find that people tend to be more interested in the left-side views of faces because you usually express more emotion with your left cheek than your right.

Algún día encontrarás a un chico. Y al final acabará por descubrir como masticas, como bebes a sorbos, como bailas cuando crees que nadie te ve, como hueles en cada momento del día. Cómo eres sin ese maquillaje que usas, esa pasión que tienes por el chocolate, como te emocionas de vez en cuando y como determinados juegos y series te hacen verdaderamente feliz. Cómo te enfadas por todo cuando estas cansada, y esa manía que tienes por pensar que sales mal en todas las fotos. Acabará de conocer todo de ti. ¿Y sabes qué? Que aún así te seguirá queriendo como el primer día.

Remembering Chávez Ravine

Current Los Angeles Dodgers Stadium in Chávez Ravine stands over what was once a thriving Mexican community. Palo Verde, La Loma and Bishop were some of the barrios demolished by developers as part of the Dodgers’ relocation from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958.

The trauma experienced by those evicted was felt by many for their entire lives. Although almost all have passed away, several of the survivors and their families still gather for an annual reunion in Los Angeles.

Their bond to Chávez Ravine is strong, and for many, the Dodgers’ presence in the place where they were born and raised is physically painful.

“There’s an old Mexican custom that where you’re born, the umbilical cord is buried. Mine’s buried under third base,” Lou Santillán, an eviction survivor, told the LA Times in 2012. “And I hate home runs, ‘cause every time they step on third base, my stomach hurts.”
