Henna Tattoo

I spent (or is it really invested) the afternoon with my friend Rachel-Anne Palacios getting a henna tattoo. Rachel generously invited all her girlfriends over so that she could give us complimentary henna art. Beyond generous. Here's Rachel creating a tattoo as Melissa looks through pages of design options.

Excited to be living just minutes away from Rachel when I move to Oakland on Tuesday!She painted a flower on my calf.

Talking About Frida

Here I am at last night's closing reception of The Many Faces of Frida exhibition talking about my cool experiences with the Frida Kahlo Museum.

A portrait of me and curator Rachel-Anne Palacios who is my Frida inspiration!

Do You Know the Way To San Jose?

Yesterday I ventured down to San Jose to meet up with Rachel-Anne Palacios and then Julie to check out the arts scene. I loved it down there and it only took 45 minutes in the snappy City Car Share Prius. These are photos from my day. Images taken with my "real" camera now that crackberry-and-blog aren't talking.

Read about my visit to the the San Jose Museum of Art Frida Kahlo exhibition with Rachel and see some photos of Rachel's work on my other blog Frida in SF.
