Magazine
these last few days, ever since Wednesday, Nov 1st. I am a victim of a cybersquatter who took my domain name right from under me. A google search will show the .com but when u click on the link it is not LaDivaLatina as we know it. I wish I could explain more but really it's just that simple. Please do NOT go to ladivalatina.com. It is full of advertisements, pop-ups, spyware, adware and probably viruses. So DON'T check it out - See the pdf of the site so you can see for yourself. All the hard work I put into it for close to 5 years- all gone in a blink of an eye.

So what now? Everyone says to just start a new site. The only problem is that I would have to
wait months for google, yahoo and msn "robots" to crawl the new site and finally place me and
rank me. The .com was already ranked 2nd to Latina.com! and now I won't rank at all.
The other avenue is to sue for my name back because it was trademarked. That takes time and
money. I always ran my website completely free of charge. There is no membership needed to
view my site. No "sign in first". It was always free and open and such is La Diva.
It got me thinking what would "La Diva" do? She is an extension of me but not all me. She is what
we make her to be. La Diva would say - after shedding a hidden tear behind those glasses - that
it's make-over time! Time to put our best face forward and prepare for a fight! La Diva would take
off her glasses and lay down her hat, roll up her sleeves, and say, "Where my girls at?"
People, I need your help. I simply can't do it alone. I am asking for your donations to help me
fight this. If everyone gave about 10 - 20 dollars - as much as you can - then I can get this to
court and win!
Now that I gathered all of my people together,
it's time now to put the hat back on, and the
sunglasses and the bright red lipstick and a big
bright smile because La DIVA ..... is BACK! While
everyone's participation in donating whatever you got
in your pocket, I am happy to say that I AM ...... La
DIVA! Check out the new domain name:
