Description

Frida is a mermaid diva! She follows cruise ships just waiting for those expensive charm bracelets to fall overboard showing up on her wrist. She waits for those belly-button rings to slide off the deck and wind up in her tail as a golden fin ring.

Frida is the Sirena that loves her bangles and pearls, and she knows how to wear them. Her necklace is filed with iconic charms from all her paintings. There is her two green parrots, her dancing deer as well as her favorite hairless black dog named Xolo.

There are lovebirds and a burning heart as well as her pet monkey playing hide and seek on her bracelet.

She wears her watermelon as a hat and lots of her favorite flowers that attract humming birds even out to sea. She has such a flare for the dramatic, and she is a fashion queen. She is even smoking her cigarettes in its sleek cigarette holder she used to love to use. No telling whom she’s lured to play with her, perhaps it's you!

Frida Kahlo was a famous Mexican painter and my hero for the courage and vitality she lived her life.
