One of my favourite holidays, Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) is a wonderfully chaotic mix of colours, emotions, and beliefs. It is a humour-filled celebration of ‘la vida’, and also a nostalgic reminder of those we have lost.

It is a wonderfully macabre occasion, and among those who are most highly honored are some of Mexico’s most influential female figures.

Check out my guest post on TRAVELETTES for more on these lovely leading ladies of Day of the Dead.
