Since 1998, Nuestra Palabra: Latino Writers Having Their Say has changed the way Latino literature is imagined and received. With the start of its 2009 and 11th season, NP continues in that tradition. Tuesday, February 3, 2008, 7 PM, at the Continental Club, 3700 Main @ Alabama, Houston, TX 77002, NP is thrilled to present Kat Von D as she launches her book HIGH VOLTAGE TATTOO. Admission: Attendees must buy a copy of the book that evening.
Not all fans of the TV show LA Ink realize the star of the show is Latina, of Argentine descent, born in Mexico. By the same token, she epitomizes the essential qualities of our culture: family, community, Baroque, and also epitomizes the essential qualities of American culture.
That is why LA INK was an immediate smash, becoming the number-one rated program on Discovery’s TLC. Fans of LA Ink could not get enough of Kat Von D, now one of the world’s most sought-after tattoo artists and owner of the popular Hollywood shop, High Voltage Tattoo. Now, Kat opens the door to today’s global tattoo culture in her book, HIGH VOLTAGE TATTOO.
