Catrina

I am a particular fan of Catrinas and I ran into this one in Mineral De Pozos

Cool! I have one like this too

Why do you call her Catrina?

Skinny!

Catrina is a common image in Méjico and there are Catrina parades on Dia de Los Muertos around hallowen.

Read here about Catrina:

Ah, OK... I thought somehow that this was the answer, but I was not very sure...

Can I show you mine here too?

BTW: Thank you for the explanation and link

Certainly, show your Catrina, Tatiana.

I have many, many that I will subject you to in future.

OK, thanks - cool!

I don't have "many, many" but I love them - I love especially the idea on how the Mexicans treat this subject of "La Muerte" (Death)

PS: Oh, sorry. I don't know why I wrote "I love them" I didn't mean that. What I meant was that I love HER - this imaginary personage.

Here they are:

1. This is a bench in Cancun. I liked how the 2 girls left their jacket on it and sit on the other side

2. Same lady taken in another day - I called her "The Golden Girl"

3. Here is Lady Catrina at the Museum of the Caricature in Mexico City. We didn't go inside - maybe another time...

4. And here is the same Lady Catrina as a cool sign for a fashion store called "Maria Bonita" (sure, the translation is "Beautiful Mary")

Cool, Tatiana.

Very nice painting - what is Pila Seca?

willard3 · April 24, 2016

Pila Seca is the name of the restaurant whose sign is in foto 1. Many nice Catrinas here.
