#BEDM "Cinco de Mayo - Let's be Mexican"

Having been a milliner in days gone by, the first thought that crosses my mind is

'Mexicans dance on their hats'.

Not particularly helpful, and no doubt there will be someone out there shouting 'that's not PC!' But that's what people of my generation grew up with and the song is really funny.

OPI nail varnish set from TK Maxx...that's a bit more like it. (Though this was actually a set for The Day of the Dead/Halloween). Came with a whole load of stickers to put on your nails too.

I am so loving this picture that I found via Google. It's for Chicagos' largest Cinco de Mayo celebrations in the Pilsen neighbourhood.

Some of my favourite things...arty skulls, roses and even a cowboy hat thrown in for good measure. Never had a tattoo, but this sure could be a contender if I was ever up for one!

Nice hats!



Vintage tomato ketchup dispenser. Well, don't all Mexican dishes have tomato in? Home grown fruit from my lully neighbour.

 This salsa picture popped up on my fb page as I follow Nadia G (Bitchin' Kitchen).

 

As she wrote...

" Don't show up with store-bought salsa this Cinco de Mayo, show up with G's fresh homemade salsa for that unique Italian-Mexican fusion! And Tequila. Everyone likes Tequila."



 You can't disagree with that, can you?

 

 This showed up as well, and, well, looks totally delish!

So, paint your nails, add your stickers then sip a drink and eat your salsa while they are drying.

Oh, and watch the video.

Laughed?? I nearly peed my pants!!

 

 

Happy 'Cinco de Mayo' Day!

You Say Tomato, I Say...

 The cutest little squeezy tomato ketchup dispenser.
Ever!

 

He has eyes, a smile and 'feet'.

And here he is with some real cousins from our next door neighbour.

Mr B ate most of them last night when he got home.

 

Along with pasta, I don't like tomatoes either.

(I would, sadly, make a rubbish Italian!)

So

I

would say

“So I have to find a theme that has enough meat to it - pardon the cheesy pun - for me to able to write a solid episode. That being said, one of my favourite episodes this [second] season is ‘Bitchin’ Booty Camp Extreme,’ and from last year it’s ‘The Breakup Bonanza.’ That has one of my favourite lines that I ever wrote - ‘Even if you and your ex don’t agree on the little things - like he says tomato and you say, go f**k yourself - you’ll both agree that this salad rocks.’ I love that line so much that it’s actually on a new limited edition t-shirt right now in our store. If you want to check it out, it’s a really beautiful and hilarious t-shirt.

 So says Nadia G!
