Featuring a 14-yr old Thalia and a hopelessly young Ernesto LaGuardia (newly minted-host of "Hoy"-- Televisa's pride and joy), "Quincienera" is enjoying a run on Sky Cable's Telenovela channel (120 here in Tijuana)...

At the time, Thalia was considered the better actriz, while fresh-faced Adele Noriega was considered the unequaled beauty of the production; interesting, isn't it, how time has exactly reversed the roles of these two novela protaganistas...

These days, Thalia stands as the quasi-sex symbol, tho her novelas ("Mari Mar," "Maria La del Barrio") have consistently and deservingly received the contempt of the critics; meanwhile, Adele Noriega rests on critically acclaimed turns in "Guadalupe" and "El Manantial" while fending of TvAzteca-fueled rumours of anorexia...

In any event, we all know the chorus, correct?...Everyone join in:

"Ahora, despierta la mujer que en mi dormia, y poco a poco se muere la nina, y empieza la adventura de la vida..."

Ahh, what memories...1987, was it?...
