So about a year ago a friend of mine went to Mexico and brought me back all this Frida Kahlo stuff.
Next to Kandinsky & Klee, Frida, (who's "Self Portrait with Monkey" along with an Icon of Christ were placed above my crib as an infant...we're talking 1964, so my twisted personality began early) is one of, if not THE expression of my pain & loss. Using her art to survive insurmountable pain throughout her life. Emotional and otherwise.
On one of the tags to a gift was a website called PhilosophersGuild.com
So I decided to check them out. OMG...I found a Frida doll! Complete with uni-brow, skirt and pearls...check her out here. I mean how flippin cool is this?
Almost as cool as the finger puppets. You think I'm kidding?
I almost ordered the Emma Goldman puppet, but became so angry I couldn't locate my credit card...
