Washington's Dos Worlds Launches

See? We knew that photo would get you to read this entry.
We've been remiss in not mentioning earlier another entry--arguably the first to actually arrive--in the D.C. magazine world. The launch party of Two Mundos, a bilingual magazine aimed at D.C.'s affluent Latino population came and went before we realized it, and the "stealth entry" just crept onto the Post's radar this week.
Organizers say that while other cities have larger Latino numbers, no other city rival's D.C.'s community for affluence, and so the high-end mag will help them locate and navigate the good life.
"Not seeing ourselves [which she defines as 'young, educated, steeped equally in two cultures and with money to spend'] was what motivated us to create a product that represents the best of both worlds," co-publisher and editor Jeanette Dove told the Post.
Dove is the daughter of Puerto Rican parents and a 24-year-old native of Miami (strangely enough where competitor Jason Binn made his start with Ocean Drive) with ties to D.C.--she's a international finance and economics grad from American. Her co-publisher, Marcelo Rocabado, is Bolivian, 27, and a UDC-grounded entrepreneur.
The quarterly magazine "toggles" back and forth between English and Spanish, with Spanish reserved for articles on travel and cars and English the primary language for food.
