About "Menea": The video was shot by the VidiViciTV crew at Fontana's, an awesome bar in Chinatown, NYC where many of my Nacotheque & Rico Suave parties have taken place, and in the director's apartment. The lead role was played by the lovely and talented Calamity Chang, a well-known burlesque dancer, and the theme of the video was inspired by the Mexican fichera movies of the '70s and '80s (this clip is a great example). Also, because our budget was VERY small, I forced many of my friends to appear in it in exchange for bagels and pizza.

So fichera movies were basically mexploitation; a genre many men enjoyed because the films featured lots of dirty puns and boobs. Most were sexist, had terrible acting & writing, and were very low brow and low budget (just like the "Menea" video!). Some, like Bellas de Noche, where one of the main conflicts withing the plot is that a real woman is part of a nightclub's dance troupe -- and not just transvestites, the only ones considered to be "real" entertainers — is one of my favorites.
