Dia de la Bandera '09 baby

Just in case you aren't super cool, and spent today celebrating Mexican Flag Day, like you should have been, here's a quick update. In 1937 the President of Mexico,General Lazaro Cardenas(F.Y.I), decided that the Mexicans needed another reason to party, and thus Flag Day was created. So, every February 24th since '37 they'll round up and celebrate, this includes radio broadcasts, television commercials, and gathering up in front of the monument to General don Vicente Guerrero. Huzzah! The flag currently representing Mexico was altered in 1968, although the main design has been used since 1821. The the three colours of the flag represent...

• Red- Union
• White - Religion
• Green - Independence

Well, after that pointless rant about the Mexican flag, i figured i should at least put a little something about Mexican fashion here. These two black and white ensembles were designed by the Mexican designer Jorge Castellanos(George with a 'J'?How could i have not read of this guy??). They were part of the Spring/Summer 2008 collection during Mexico Fashion week. Ironically the Spring/Summer show took place during fall, specifically, this photo was taken October 25, 2007.

Now, onto this amazing bathing suit, with an amazing model to match. There are a few things about this image that won me over. First of all, the fact that she looks like she actually has eaten in the past month, unlike the typical North American models. Regularly on the runway we see models looking like pretzels in bathing suits, this girl actually looks real, definitely makes me want to wear something like that this beach season. Plus, her A-mazing smile! Its genuine, much more pleasing to look at than what's usually done on the runway, the frozen stone stare. Ick. Lastly, the ginormous ring on her right hand, even though it really has nothing to do with her bathing suit, and it slightly blurred, i think it just completes the suit.

Well... adiós mis amigos.
