plus: i found one of my favourite frida drawings on the net (courtesy of
www.latinamericanstudies.org). hooray! she portraied herself wearing the little "hand" earring which was a big inspiration for me. the way she's wearing a single, iconic piece here... i copied that style
here it is. she did the drawing in 1946:
