31 days of queer tenderness

Day 1: Frida Kahlo with then-girlfriend Chavela Vargas, 1954

This is one of the few known photographs that exist of the pair, but there is evidence of a short-lived but intense love affair between the Mexican painter and the Costa-Rican singer. Enjoy these enhanced and colorized versions of this sweet and tender snapshot :)
