      ab: The article focuses on cyberbrides in the Americas and the transnational routes of U.S. masculinity. The design of a Latin Ameican woman from outside the U.S. speaks to the power of erotic imagination and the role of technology in transporting one's personal fantasies into a transnational social forum.
