Is there anything better than a glammed up girl but check this look. Deep red lip with dark shadows rebuild the mystic of our Christmas muse here at the Follies - Frida Kahlo.
Be use to read about this inspiring artist and her colourful world and life. Mexican born, she is a freedom fighter and proud feminist in a time when it was just not acceptable. She was a bold - smoking - outspoken, creative who loved her country and heritage.
Years later she was in scandals saying she was Portugeuse or Spanish -- she accepted being called Cuban but it shows you that being who you are is not easy, especially if you become famous -- there are rules - someone like you doesn't make it Follies - only American girls. Rubbish. Any one can aspire and reach, just read about Frida and find out how she & her works are some thee most popular modern art of our time.
She did a lot of portraits even self portraits in beautiful vibrant and bold colours. She was expressive and has quotes everywhere. She is often added to conversations to do with Andy Warhol, the legendary Campbell Soup campaigns, Pablo Picasso and his works as well as -yes- Vincent van Gogh. What do they all have in common - they are considered Expressionist artists and select work of arts are considered surreal - but they are for the thinking man and woman not just the elite or high brow. What a league of thoughts to be in.
If only the Constantinople girls would wake up and eat culture as if it were a can of soup. Don't ya think?
Don't worry there is still time to mold yourself and gain a wider view - that art is not a box and we should all express ourselves freely , and do the things we love.
Keep SMILING Follies.
Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad.
