Laura Rios July 27, 2007

Tonight I got the word "Mexica" from b-girl Laura Rios. She tagged it onto my neck and it's beautiful. We were at a party, so the resulting photograph is blurry and hard to see (especially after a very delicious strawberry daiquiri), but you can still see traces of the word. The photo actually looks like an image from 110 millimeter film - does anyone remember using 110 cameras? They would take really grainy photographs. And remember when they used to develop film with round edges? If you've never used a 110 speed camera, you'd best watch out. It's so retro it came and left before we realized it was ever here!

But, back to the word. Laura has these amazing tattoos on her shoulders of the Mayan Moon Goddess(es), and she was telling me about her recent life-changing trip to Mexico. So, with pride, she wrote "Mexica". I feel proud just wearing it.
