‘Quiero Mis Quinces’: Angelica Delivers A Knock-Out!

By Michael Lopez

You’d think a boxing tomboy and an elegant Quinceanera wouldn’t mix, right? Well after watching Angelica, it’s plain to see that nothing could be further than the truth. You don’t have to be a makeup-wearing “girly-girl” to pull off a glamorous "Quiero Mis Quinces" party and this episode’s the proof!

Growing up in Texas as an only child, Angelica is definitely what you’d call a “Daddy’s girl.” She loves her mom and hanging with her girlfriends, but where she feels most comfortable is sparring in the ring with her tough-as-nails Papi.

And Angelica’s boxing training isn’t just a casual hobby, she’s a fierce competitor who’s got a serious shot at the 2012 Olympics! But underneath of the body blows and uppercuts, there’s still a sweet 15-year-old birthday girl who really wants a special Quinceanera celebration.

How’s it going to happen? First the dress. Angelica’s mom hooked up a gorgeous green ensemble that shows off the real beauty behind that tomboy smile. Sure walking in heels takes a little getting used to, but she’s determined to give her guests the full, glamorous package.

Then the photo shoot. In a true “QMQ” first, we’ve got a birthday girl made up beautifully and flashing a championship boxing belt! And how about the choreography? With a little help from rising fighter, Roberto Marroquin, Angelica’s got a dance that’s guaranteed to be a “knock out.”

And as for the main event? In typical boxing style, Angelica runs in with a hooded robe, “Rocky” theme music, and a full-blown entourage. Then it’s on to the father/daughter dance (so cute) and surprise performance by Akwid! Way to go Angelica, you definitely delivered a KO in the world of “Quinces"!
