mexicana!

 Proof that I can be influenced by anyone or anything, that looks cool enough to suddenly desire immensely, and make me realise i never knew i loved it.....

.....got all that?
okay i shall continue

Today the visual merchandising girls at work were doing the monthly changeover and in our 'chillout' area, they re-did the feature wall all Mexican style.
Unfortunately due to copyright/weird issues i couldn't take a photo sadly! But to paint you a pretty picture, it was a hot pink wall with framed pictures of Mexican sugar skulls, skeletons, mother Mary's, and crosses.

I suddenly realised that this was right up my alley, as i love bright colours, i have an unnatural interest in skulls, i love intricate designs, and all that lovely vintage-ee stuff.
Here's some ee gee's:







It's not just me who's got the hot's for the Mexican in the box, the sugar skull otherwise known as 'Calavera', is growing popular in the tattoo world aswell:


It has also been quite popular in jewellery design:
I've also got a thang for Mexican- looking interior decorating too, specifically cushions, so hopefully if my backyard is finito soon i can make some cool little additions!



and lastly, just to support my sudden interest, magazine photoshoots (because they rationalize any fad):
