Frida Kahlo, "Viva la vida", 1954, oil on masonite. Frida Kahlo Museum Collection. "Its known as Frida Kahlo's last painting. The fruits and the way they are painted, the vibrant red color of the watermelons and the phrase that the artist wrote eight days before dying seem like a tribute to life despite her already very deteriorating health." "Magdalena Frida Carmen Kahlo y Calderón (1907 - 1954), aka Frida Kahlo, was a Mexican painter. Her work revolves around her experiences. She created a total of 150 works, mainly self-portraits, in which she projected her difficulties in surviving. She is also considered a pop icon of Mexican culture."

I'm intrigued by the Mexican style restaraunt, "Casa Bonita" in Denver, Colorado. Despite who its investors might be it seems virtually Meow Wolf'esque in its level of theming and immersive interactivity that it seems like loads of fun and very aesthetic to me!

This picture hints at who was involved in funding the renovations for this restaurant experience although thankfully it's inclusion is minimal..

The girl here did the same thing I did when I went to visit Meow Wolf in my town one time. Went dressed up as American McGee's Alice!

"Te quiero a las diez de la mañana, y a las once, y a las doce del día. Te quiero con toda mi alma y con todo mi cuerpo, a veces, en las tardes de lluvia. Pero a las dos de la tarde, o a las tres, cuando me pongo a pensar en nosotros dos, y tú piensas en la comida o en el trabajo diario, o en las diversiones que no tienes, me pongo a odiarte sordamente, con la mitad del odio que guardo para mí."

-Jaime Sabines ("Te quiero a las diez de la mañana", fragmento).

Colossal Head from Veracruz, Mexico dated between 1200 - 600 BCE on display at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, Mexico

The Olmecs created such heads as monuments to political or spiritual leaders. The features carved into the stone faces represent an idealised image of them and how they wanted to be seen by the community.
