What was that about? Manolo Blahnick shoes?

Posted by HelloNot sure why am posting this, but I woke up this morning thinking about Manolo Blahnick shoes.. don't ask me why... just did. Maybe it was that last shoe episode? Who knows. Anyways I would really like a pair. Not this jungle one with berries... maybe just a nice black pump. I like the way Manolo sounds. (mental note... must name next male child - "Manolo") Manolo reminds me of the cuban guy from the movie ScarFace. I am rambling.. must move on.

I just had a birthday yesterday and am feeling very "seasoned" (better than saying I feel old). (By the way Tim if you read this.. thanks for the beautiful roses, you're awesome!) To celebrate I was going to go rollerskating at the rink with family and friends but turned out the rink was closed about a year ago. (It was bought out by some internet company, who will more than likely disappear in a year... unless they are a part of Google who is making a killing this week!) Can't believe I interviewed with them when there was only 15 people there! yesterday's offering would have been a nice B-day present.

I was planning to have a coming of age party! since I didn't get the quicenera at 15. I thought I would treat myself to tiarra and a pink tutu and just have fun.. but sadly the plans were cancelled (at least for this weekend). But I do hope to do it soon, even if it's just to be able to say that I can stay on skates, the old fashion kind and grove to "Ladies Night" or "Boogie Wonderland" by the Elements.

I was commissioned to do this special little painting of El Cipitio of El Salvador. It's my interpretation of a small postage stamp that El Salvador put out several years ago. "El Cipitio" 8x10 inches acrylics on canvas El Cipitio (From Wikipedia) El Cipitio es un cipote (niño) de 10 años con un estomago bien grande. Su nombre se toma de la palabra del nahuat “Cipit” o “Cipote” que significa niño. Algunos también relacionan su nombre con el de Xipe Totec. Según la leyenda, él es el hijo de un romance prohibido de una mujer nativa llamada Sihuehuet, conocida como Siguanaba y del hijo del dios Tlaloc. El Cipitio fue condenado por Tlaloc, a vivir para siempre como un chico de 10 años con sus pies colocados al revés, como recordatorio del amor perverso de su madre. Las historias que cuentan los campesinos, es que él viene a sus campos y que encuentr...

"Who are you today, Maria?"

I've been wanting to post a little blurb on this for while but didn't want to jinx myself until it was finalized. McDougall Littell Publishing is publishing this painting alongside a short story by latina author Judith Ortiz Cofer . It will appear in a their Language Arts, 8th Grade Literature 2007 edition (expected sometime in the spring). The title of the story is "Who are you today, Maria?". I can't wait to see it and read the rest of the story! I've never met Judith Ortiz Cofer, but I've started reading her books and poetry. At some point I might even get the courage to email or call her. I am such a chicken when it comes to things like this. I feel like I can officially say and respond to that eternal question "Who are you today, Maria?"... Today I am a published artist! yippee! Thank you McDougall Littell and Judith for the opportunity.
