Frida Kahlo Lookalike Contest

Walking into Old Town, I came across Cynthia Campos of Miami, coming out of what I believe was Wild Woman Boutique. Cynthia had been traveling to California but had been stranded in Albuquerque with her boyfriend by a broken car. At loose ends, she decided to model and enter the Frida Kahlo Lookalike Contest.

Jennifer and Dori. Jennifer's heritage is from Isleta and Santo Domingo Pueblos, and Dori is from Jemez Pueblo. When I asked Jennifer a bit more about her background, she revealed a pan-Pueblo heritage - Isleta, Laguna, Santo Domingo, and Zia Pueblos, with a bit of Yankton Sioux thrown in too: a galaxy of Native American heritage! Also, with the liberal use of a make-up pencil, she had that Frida Kahlo Unibrow thing going on.
Cynthia place first, Jennifer second, and Dori third.
