quinceañera planning online. She was shocked to see that the My Quince Sux group had 15,000 friends! It was full of girls whose quinces had caused them more drama than the antics of Britney, Paris, and the Gossip Girls combined. There were also ads for girls who were desperately seeking help in planning their Sweet Fifteen parties. It turned out that Sarita was far from being the only quince in distress. In the Miami groupâs page, Alicia found a lot of cries for help.

DESPERATELY SEEKING DJ AND DANCE CREW FOR SOUTH BEACH SWEET 15!
I love cumbria, hip-hop and reggaeton pero my familia doesnât have the Benjamins to get a big name group like the Barranquilla Boyz or Luis Boom. Newbie talent that can rock to a Latin beat would be fine with me. If you have any suggestions, please contact me lo más pronto que posible! Gracias!

Hey, my quince is on November 10 and I have no clue how to do it. Can anyone recommend a step-by-step guide to hooking up a cool quinceañera ? Please, Iâm begging you! My mom has no idea either, âcause she didnât do it for my sister and now Iâm getting a double dose of her tacky ideas. What kind of other themes can I do besides the played out (and super childish) Cinderella? Sooooo boring and I hate pumpkins. Please help me ASAP.

Hey, Iâm in trouble. My family thinks a Sweet 15 dress has gotta be pink! I HATE PINK except as a hair color. All the padrinos and padrinas are probably going to be dressed in pink too. The decorations, which my mama has already bought, are pink, and the cake she ordered is pink too. What do I do? Does anyone have any idea on how to save me from this cotton candy nightmare quince ? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!!

OK. Where to start? Hereâs my problem. I will be having my quince años in March. I already have chosen the color theme and dressesâivory for the damas , with azure scarves hanging down the back, and for the chambelanes âivory suits with azure hankies in the pocket and azure feathers in their fedora hats. Yes, people, the clothes at my quince will be banging! But aside from the outfits, Iâm completely lost. My parents are divorced and I live with my mom. Sheâs not Latin like my papi and until I brought it up, sheâd never even heard of a quinceañera before ( fijase, chicas! ). Me and my mamacita need MAJOR help with EVERYTHING! (Except for the clothes, which, as Iâve mentioned, are banginâ!)
Alicia stayed up until two in the morning reading the message boards. By the time she went to sleep, she knew what she had to do. She was going to do more than just help Sarita pick a space for her quince . She and her girls, along with Gazâand her brother Alex, if she could convince himâwere going to take quinceañeras in Miami to a whole new level. She was going to start Amigas Incorporated, and it was going to be the hottest party-planning business in town.
The next morning, Alicia found Maribelle in the kitchen, making breakfast.
â Buenos dÃas , Maribelle,â Alicia said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. The older woman was like a grandmother to her, especially since both of Aliciaâs abuelas had passed away before she was born.
Maribelle handed her a plate. âBanana pancakes, but I made yours special, with strawberries,â she said, in her warm, gently accented voice. âItâs a beautiful day. You eat outside with your parents.â
âGracias,â Alicia said, taking the pancakes and OJ that Maribelle handed her.
âYouâre welcome,â Maribelle said.
âYouâre the best.â Alicia planted a besito on Maribelleâs cheek.
Maribelle put one hand on her hip and gave Alicia a saucy look. âAnd you think I need you to tell me that? Vaya .â
Her parents were having breakfast by the pool. When she joined them, Enrique Cruz was reading
