Random Midday Hotness: Rosie Perez Murders The ‘Soul Train’ Line.

So this post got me thinking about the peculiarities of Rosie’s fame. She was, quite literally, the opening number in one of America’s all-time-great movies. She was the brains behind the Fly Girls. She was — is – a sex symbol. She’s been ubiquitious and beloved and an avatar of legitimacy even though she’s never exactly been an A-lister in the conventional sense. (The fact that she was nominated for a best lead/supporting actress for White Men Can’t Jump nears Crash levels of Academy Awards fuckery.) Who else occupies this space, really?

Oh, and did you know Rosie Perez is 50? Bruh: Rosie Perez is 50. Marinate on that for a moment.
