keeping with tradition and being the responsible aunt, I made a pact with my nieces to take care of their first tattoo…since I already took care of Leanne’s in 2003 it was Arielle’s turn. Here’s what she got…yeah..the detail is not so good on these images but the ink is of a fleur de lys with “Barrios” written in script above it. Chris at Avalon II did it.




elvis + presley

so for my sister’s birthday she got presley (elvis’ offspring) – like father like son check it

arielle and presley

daddy elvis in his cardigan – dude

sister’s birthday..

so we had a reunion of sorts. haven’t been together since 2006. my niece arielle flew out from kentucky and of course there was me from my travels. we all came together to celebrate my sister’s 45th birthday…IT WAS A FEAST – palaboc (sort of like a noodle dish but with a way better sauce), steamed blue crab and a mango mousse cake

the women of the family – pops was sleeping

mom cooking up a storm – as usual

crab and toppings for the palaboc

vday…

what a rad way to wake up…esp. if one stayed up until 5am working on ideas for the next installation..i remember when valentine’s day (or dia de amor) was soo different…


mom’s yummy creamed corn fritters..
