Belinda Acosta’s Damas, Dramas, and Ana Ruiz

I never had a quinceañera or a sweet 16 but I have always been intrigued by them. After watching reality shows like Quiero Mis Quinces (MTV Tr3s) and My Super Sweet 16 (MTV) one is left with a certain image of the whole ordeal.

Luckily for those of us, who have never actually experienced putting together one of these ultimate affairs, author Belinda Acosta takes you through the experience from the mother’s angle in Damas, Dramas, and Ana Ruiz.

She’s collecting quinceañera fotos for a slide show to show prior to readings and book signings. Send what you have to nuevob@gmail.com
