Eh, call me when Dickies and the white socks/soccer sandals combo hit the runways.

Well, in the WASP’s defense, California did belong to Mexico. Irony: Mexicans don’t really want to dress like that, they want to dress like well…gringo-European people.

Except for real indigenous Mexicans. I cannot believe Subcomandante Elisa is going to be so in and chic.

Let me know when starched Charlie Browns are back in style. And Locs.

Tire sandals already exist. I bought some for my son online and was surprised to see the maker describe them as “inspired by Brazilians”. Ugh, do they mean poor Brazilians who don’t have money for shoes so they must resort to wearing tires on their feet?? I’m not so sure they feel proud about it. I bought them online because I thought they were plain, black sandals until I received them and could see they had tire-like designs on them.

They’re kidding, right? That’s what happens when hipsters start thinking they’re cultural intellectuals by using the term “appropriation.” Olvidate.

Man, bring back la India Maria. Please? Then, maybe we’ll talk.

Wow, all those models look so mexican on those traditional outfits, all so tall and blonde, just like mexican women…i mean who are these people talking about, if you’re going to make a fashion show about mexican traditional outfits, at least use mexican models you son of a bitch…

This has über hipster influence written all over it. But, I kind of dig the idea of Mexican flair all across an urban landscape. I mean we all have to deal with Che’s image plastered everywhere so why not this? Soon enough skinny hipsters will also adopt our love of the curves and then the world will be great. But until then, I’m sure most of these outfits will be constrained to sizes “skin and bones” and “eats when she isn’t cracked out”.

i get it that they’re not the image of the indigenous mexican, but last time i checked mexicans come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. blondes (real and bottled) are quite evident in my existence.

now, that tall thing…

Would it be inappropriate to say that next Spring my cock will also be wearing a Mexican.

one more thing. i’m telling you for the LAST time: it is spelled :SARAPE not SERAPE. one more time: SARAPE nor SERAPE…wait, we are talking about the multi-colored eh…sarape, right?

M. Gonzalez, could you please take the stick out of your ass?

Why am I not surprised?
Well, I know this tall, blonde school teacher that dresses EVERY day like she works at a stereo-typical Mexican restaurant- lol.

What about a runway display to represent Chicanos ie. Mexican-Americans? Can you say- Lean like a Cholo!

Here I go perpetuating more stereo-types. Well, I am Mexi-Rican (Mexican & Costa Rican by birth & I have Puerto Rican in me- since I’m pregnant by my long-time PR husband- oh well, that’s my blog for the year!)

@M.Gonzalez: Actually, the English spelling is serape.

Actually “California” was right. You don’t know much about this coast. Many aspects of Mexican culture have been incorporated and are now part of California culture.

And why do you always get your panties in a knot over anything that has to do with Mexico or Mexican people?

If guayberas were on the runway, you’d be happy.

To L…what a horrid comment…its sarcastic and flippant, right? i don’t recognize corrupted spellings of Spanish words…wait, it is corrupted, right?

Thanks for approving my comment. Oh wait, you didn’t.

actually, the guys selling fake pashminas on the corner could also market them as “mexican rebosos”. they’re pretty much the same thing……

and he was right in saying, “you’re so california”. that style is alive (albeit not very common) in california..probably more than in mexico…unless you’re in bordertowns or tourist traps.

Those dresses are not “guayabera” inspired but huipil inspired. There’s lots of Xicanas in L.A. that dress like this everyday and they wear it well.
Oh yeah, “Mexican” was in and then out, in 2003 too.
