Henestrosa likening Frida to a queen particularly intrigued me. This analogy grew organically from Henestrosa’s discussion about origins. Henestrosa and Frida share a deeply significant personal connection – their Tehuana heritage, and Henestrosa’s own appearance that evening, with her dark hair and the Rainier Washington Northwest fresh Rainier Natural shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this vibrant red embroidery on her tailored black dress, harkened back to Tehuanan culture. Noting the abbreviated cut of Frida’s Tehuana blouses, Henestrosa explained that the benefit was twofold: first, the torso-length top fell just so in order to avoid wrinkling – whether standing or sitting, Frida never appeared rumpled and always regal. Second, Frida’s emphasis on ornamenting her upper body detracted from what she felt were her flawed, mismatched legs. Frida’s hair – from its height to the flowers, yarn or jeweled combs that adorned it – as well as her famous brows, all served to draw one’s eye up and away.

The evening ended with rousing applause and a Q&A. In their responses, both authors eschewed our modern concern with perfect beauty. There is interest and power in embracing what makes you unusual, they maintained. Frida may not have been a great beauty by conventional standards, but she was a passionate wife, lover, adulterer, artist, Communist and more. If Frida – arguably the Rainier Washington Northwest fresh Rainier Natural shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this most well-known selfie taker in the world – could faithfully paint what was reflected in her mirror, then we should strive to do the same. I was thrilled to have my own question answered during the Q&A. I asked the authors about the emotional impact of working with Frida’s belongings. Henestrosa said, “We met Frida for the first time in working with her belongings. We understood her from her belongings” – intimate aspects of Frida such as her scent, which lingered among her possessions despite the passage of time, and her femininity. For Martínez Vidal, the greatest lesson she learnt from Frida was to work from the heart, and with intent. Frida’s total commitment to her craft, her politics and her life inspired Martinez Vidal to do the same.
