Premio de novela histórica Grijalbo - Claustro de Sor Juana

María Teresa Landa ocupó en dos ocasiones las portadas de los principales periódicos del país: por ser reina de belleza y por ser una asesina.

María Teresa Landa fue la ganadora en 1928 del concurso de belleza Señorita México, que la convirtió en la primera Miss México de la historia. Poco después contrajo nupcias con Moisés Vidal, un general de la Revolución venido a menos, que le ocultó que ya estaba casado con otra mujer, también llamada Teresa, con quien además tenía dos hijas. La mañana del 25 de agosto de 1929, María Teresa comenzó su día como cualquier domingo, serena y desenfadada, hasta que se encontró con este titular en Excélsior: «Acusan de bigamia al esposo de Miss México». Su vida dio un vuelco. Presa de la tristeza, la ira y los celos, tomó el revólver de su marido y descargó seis balas sobre él. La reina de belleza era ahora una asesina. La prensa nacional hizo eco de lo ocurrido bajo titulares que se referían a ella como la Viuda Negra.

Ana Romero narra la historia de María Teresa con maestría y sensibilidad. No sólo hace eco de las notas de la época, sino que se mete en la piel del personaje para tratar de comprender su psiquis, sus anhelos y sus miedos, y nos ofrece un retrato fascinante de una mujer a quien la belleza llevó tanto a la gloria como a la ruina.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Winner of the Grijalbo - Sister Juana Cloisters Historical Novel Award.

María Teresa Landa appeared twice on the front page of every major newspaper in the country: because she was a beauty queen and because she became a murderer.

María Teresa Landa won the 1928 beauty contest Miss Mexico, becoming the first Miss Mexico in history. Soon after, she married Moisés Vidal, a washed-up general from the Mexican Revolution, who concealed the fact that he was already married to another woman, also named Teresa, with whom he had two daughters. The morning of August 25, 1929, María Teresa started her day like any other Sunday, calm and carefree, until she read this Excélsior headline: "Miss Mexico's husband accused of bigamy." Her life was turned upside down. Consumed by sadness, rage, and jealousy, she took her husband's revolver and shot him six times. The beauty queen was now a killer. The national press spread the news under headlines that referred to her as the Black Widow.

Ana Romero tells María Teresa's story with mastery and sensibility. Romero not only echoes the feeling of the time, but gets under the character's skin to try and understand her psyche, her yearnings, and fears, sharing a fascinating portrait of a woman who knew both glory and ruin because of her beauty.

My go-to sublimation paper for crafting
Size: 8.5"x11"
I've used several sublimation papers, and this one has worked really well for my crafting projects. The colors transfer bright and vibrant, and the images come out crisp with good detail when using the proper sublimation printer and ink. The paper feeds smoothly through my printer and feels like a good quality weight—not too thin and not overly thick. I've used it for tumblers, keychains, and other sublimation projects, and I've been happy with the results. I also appreciate getting 110 sheets in one pack because it lasts a while, especially when working on multiple projects at once. Overall, this is a reliable sublimation paper that gives consistent results and is great for crafters or small business owners.

Fits in a standard tape dispenser
Number of Items: 12
First of all, I like the width of this tape when I don't need the full width of standard 20mm. It's great for delicate projects and minimizing taping over two-sided sublimations like keychains. There's just enough adhesion and it comes off cleanly so it does the job. If you don't need the full width of 20mm, this is a great value. For those looking for a compatible dispenser, these rolls fit into a standard weighted Scotch tape base like the C-38. There will be room around the core because these rolls have a larger diameter, and room on either side because the rolls are thinner than standard Scotch tape, but once you pull the tape onto the blade, the roll remains taut and it's easy to remove pieces of your desired length with one hand.
