I do not agree with all her personal or political interests but you take the person with her time, era and influences and that rounds in a sense a life.
Back in high school I made probably 11 self portraits emulating her style but with a twist: I made myself of different races and skin colors lol I wish i still had those papers!
Today is her birthday and I thought of sharing some images and links here.
A few years ago google made a logo of her:
Her last entry in her diary made many people think her death was not natural, talking about a joyous exit and hoping never to return, but the fact is that her health was terrible and her spirits very low, she had been declining for years:
I think this is my favorite photo of her, smiling:

I love Frida, too, and there are great pictures of her on pinterest.

She is also a favorite of mine as well. Last fall, I found a single painting of hers in the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. It was sad to see only one as I had expected more! So greedy, right! Anyhoo, thanks for the reminder of her birthday. She certainly had a very interesting life. hugzzz
