Yesterday was the Dia De Los Muertos celebration at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I love this day and try to attend the festivities every year. Here are some of the shots that I took yesterday.
When I was in middle school, in Spanish class we used to do all kinds of fun stuff on this day :) That looks like a fun celebration and the costumes are so interesting!
Love your photos - and I love that you have a bit of Spanish culture over there in the States - it's so exotic for me as an Aussie to see all that stuff. Many thanks!
Do those gloves glow in the dark?! Why the hell wasn't I invited?!!! That party looks like the SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have glow in the dark nails right now!! I could have totally ROCKED IT!
My MIL (Gretchen Ney-Laugier) did some great paintings on this subject years ago. Very bright, very beautiful. I remember the first time she told me about this celebration, she was so excited. It's such a cool way to honor the dead. So, I'm really happy for you, that you were able to participate and be a part of it. The photos are wonderful.
seriously that looks friggin amazing. i would have LOVED to be there...there's something just so rich about cultural festivities like that...dia de los muertos is something we were brought up with, being hispanic and all, but man, those pictures just make me long for being right in the middle of it!

Dios mio! Those are great shots. I never knew the Hollywood Forever Cemetery did that. I have to do that next year.
Did you wear appropriate attire? Sundress and flip flops? ;)
Looks like a great weekend!
In Spanish class (yes, I am bringing this up) I used to love Dia de los Muertos! To think you were in the heart of that! Great photos.
I love these Maccabre festivities and outfits. Somehow it brought to mind the James Bond movie "Live and let die"
