5 Things We Want For El Dia De Los Muertos
20 October 2009, 1:34 PM. By Alex Alvarez
Because there’s nothing like a healthy dose of materialism and stufflust to help celebrate November 2nd, aka The Most Important Holiday That Ever Was Or Will Be. Dia de los Muertos is fast-approaching, and while many of you probably have your Halloween costume planned (Balloon Boy, Interrupting Kanye West, Alejandra Guzman’s Ass Goiter, an Illegal Alien, etc.), do you know how you’ll be celebrating my birthday All Souls’ Day?
Sure, going to mass or having a picnic in a graveyard is fun and such, but we’ve always found this particular holiday to be one full of gifts and we think it should be this way for you too, Guanababies. Why should those skinny dead sinverguenzas have all the fun?
A Calaverita Tattoo
What better way to show you find something to be cool or pretty than by having it inscribed into your flesh until it withers and decays? This of it as an ode to transience. Now. Where to put it?
This Crazy Calavera Face Mask Cosa
This says that you’re both a kind of pseudo-hipster trendwhore and someone who is extremely serious about not wanting to contract swine flu. Birds: 2. Stone: 1.
Alexander McQueen’s Silver Skull Ring
A ring! With a skull! Designed by a man for whom every day is the Day of the Dead!
Calavera Candies
Because nothing goes with death quite like copious amounts of sugar. And glitter.
A Whole Day Devoted To Playing Grim Fandango, Uninterrupted
Old school, sure But if you’re ot familiar with the game, here’s the basic plot: Manny Calavera (the sexy dude in the white suit) has followed Mercedes “Meche” Colomar into the Land of the Dead. The game is divded into four parts, each taking place on November 2nd. Manny has to collect objects and solves puzzles along his journey, while basically looking like a badass.

calavera tattoos are so hot. she’s pretty hot too.
I agree with both of your statements, I have been looking for a drawing of a calavera and a spot to put it on me. Any Ideas?
i really like the tumblr site calacas.tumblr.com. they have a lot of ideas. i would also flickr it.
as for your other question. i have no idearrrr. arms are good. thighs are kinda hot too. i may have seen on there on a dude. but i might not have. :D
Thanx Cali, dunno bout the thigh tho, only way it will be seen is when I am nekkid or wearing a speedo. No one wants to see me in a speedo
perhaps as a badass back piece? i’m partial to arm pieces, but that’s cause i live in SF and that’s all i see around, and they look good.
I agree with the tatt…I’m a firm believer in that form of expression :). How about restaurants offering four-course prix-fixe dinner?
Also good!
yeah i’ve been wanting a calavera tat for a while. I bought a tank top with some calaveras on it which makes me want the tat even more.
anyway thanks she-alex… I just thought up a new cross stitch idea. we’ll see how it goes.
Don’t know if I have enough room on my arm for a big calavera piece. I am gonna go to my tat artist tonight and see what he can do as far as placement. I know he can do it, I have seen some of his Calaveras and he can do them, even tho he is an Irishman
Ribcage!
but really, the irish are our soulmates in a more than a few ways…
sounds hot. cause calavera tats are hot. this is one time i’m all for circular reasoning :)
Yes the irish are just like us, hard drinkin, hard workin and always missing our homeland
