This isn't the first time you've visited Barcelona. Have you seen anything new?

The other two times I came, it was winter, so people weren't really outside. This time, I was really surprised to see all the people outside enjoying the great weather. I love the heat and I'm really happy to be here.

In Barcelona, you presented your designs for Yamamay. What inspires you?
When it comes to creating clothing, I have a great team of stylists and a great staff. We all talk about accessories that work well with types of clothing..I also listen to my friend's opinions. They always give me good advice and suggestions. ::laughs::

What is "elegance" to you?
It comes from the inside. Right now I feel like it means making sure the people around me are happy. I'm happy and positive, like my Latin roots, and that's what I want to convey with everything I do. Fashion, Movies, Music.

How would you define your style?
Very feminine, sexy, and modern. I love to mix and explore different styles. Sometimes I combine classic and modern. Other times I feel more hippy or bohemian. There are also times when I get really into jeans and t-shirts. So, that's why I think it's funny that people say I'm an elegant fashion icon. They'd have to see me in the morning when I get dressed. I pick up the first t-shirt I find. (Heather's note: I so don't believe her, lol)

You are one of the most desired women. How does that make you feel?
What? That makes me laugh, because it's hard to think of oneself as the sexiest woman, though the truth is, I intend to be that.

Are Spanish and American women different when it comes to lingerie?
I don't think so. We all like to feel sensual sometimes. Independent of our nationality, it's something very feminine. It's the same no matter where you are from. Every woman wants to feel attractive, beautiful, and loved. Sometimes lingerie helps us get that.

Reports say the North American and British women wear more lingerie. What do you think about that?
Is that right? Well, maybe they need more lingerie stores...

Do women dress up for themselves or for men?
I don't think it's bad to do it for both. Feeling happy about yourself gives you security, and looking good is a way to get that. When another person notices that, it reinforces your self esteem without a doubt.

How is it in your case?
It's both. I feel strong, powerful, and secure when I think I look good. But when my husband notices my clothes and tells me he likes this or that, I love it, and it makes me feel comfortable.

Marc gives you suggestions about what to wear?
Of course. He has a great taste for fashion. In reality, he knows a lot about the subject. He tells me what he likes the best and what he thinks I should wear.

You're an example for a lot of mothers because you look more sensual than before you had your twins.
That idea is antiquated. When you look at magazines, you realize that women retain their sensuality, and their figure. These days, there's no difference between a mother and a woman. You can be a mother and still continue with your professional career, your beauty, and have an interesting life ahead of you. This is what makes women extraordinary.


Are you working hard to arrange all these things in your life?
This is one of the best times in my life. It seems as if I'm contradicting what I just said, but right now, what makes me happy, is the fact that I can choose to be with my kids. It's absolutely amazing. A lot of mothers say that, but it's true.

Is your life different now?
Different? ::she thinks for a few seconds:: Now everything is much better! Of course, my priorities have changed. They come first. They're different now, but better.

But you haven't stopped working...what are your next projects?
Oh, God! Besides designing this and my own line of clothes, I'll film two movies this year, but I'd like to wait until the twins are a little bit bigger. The first, Love and Other Impossible Pursuits, of course, has a possible start date in late August. If it's not pushed back, I will take them to the set with me, because I can't be without them all day. I love spending time with them. I take care of them, feed them, change their diapers..I have a bit of help, but I like to be the one that puts them to bed at night.

Will we hear a new album before the end of the year?
Maybe, but I'm not sure. I'd like to do it alone, because my husband has his career and I have mine, though sometimes it's hard to separate them. In the US, we toured together and we sang together and we had fun, but we have individual careers.

At Marc's concerts, people always scream for you...
Yes, they all wait for me to come out. I don't want to, because it's Marc's show, so I just come out and wave. It's impossible to come out last because then they want us to sing together and then we'd have to! But what can you do? It's hard to separate our professional lives because we're together.

Many people consider Marc a musical genius in Latin music. Do you think this title is excessive?
It's true. He is, and he's a genius to me, too.


After visiting the Yamamay store, Jennifer returned to her hotel to feed, bathe, and put Max and Emme to sleep. Then, she changed her clothes, makeup, and hair and went to Marc's concert.


Caption to one of the pics: "I have no idea how I do it all. I guess that's why I'm so tired!"

Another caption mentions that Lynda and her HUSBAND went, too. So, I guess they're married. She's 7 months pregnant according to OK.
