Glitter Doll
4" x 18"
#D04
This Catrina is bright and glittery, complete with her wide brimmed glittery hat. Made sometimes for celebration of Dia de los Muertos, the holiday when it is believed that spirits of deceased loved ones return to visit with family and friends.Often in Mexico families gather to remember and to celebrate the presence of missed loved ones. Beautiful and elaborate altars (called ofrendas) dedicated to loved ones who have died, are filled with their favorite flowers, objects and food to make them feel welcome. Family and friends gather in cemeteries to clean, decorate and visit family graves. Some hold all night vigils.
Legend has it that Catrina, the famous female skeleton of Mexico, was once a real person. Folklore says that La Catrina was once a living woman known for her selfishness. In life, she was a greedy rich woman who did nothing to help the poor. Catrina was often seen dressed in ornate European styles, imitating the French by wearing a lot of makeup to make her skin appear whiter.
This image now popular in ceramic and paper mache,and is actually inspired from a zinc etching by the famous Mexican printmaker, cartoon illustrator and lithographer, José Guadalupe Posada.
Posada began to use Mexico’s traditional Day of the Dead celebration as his theme. He would stage scenes with skeletons in working class barrios, in suburban communities and in the houses of the elite class. Riding on bicycles and garbed in the latest finery, Posada’s skeletons became metaphors for the corrupt elitist class, and La Catrina came to life. In his original 1910 etching of La Catrina, Posada describes a person who was ashamed of their Indian origins and dressed imitating the French style while wearing a lot of makeup to make their skin look whiter. This description also ties to the original name garbancera, which became a nickname given to people of indigenous ancestry who imitated European style and denied their own cultural heritage.

La Calavera Catrina translates into "Dapper Skeleton" or "Elegant Skull".
Catrina has come to symbolize not only El Día de los Muertos and the Mexican willingness to laugh at death itself, but also refer to rich people that, “Death brings this neutralizing force; everyone is equal in the end. Sometimes people have to be reminded of that.”
Skeletons from all walks of life are represented to relay the message that no matter who you are in life-rich or poor, famous or unknown-you will end up a skeleton in the end.

Bruce Wayne: Not Super | Comic Review
Format: Paperback
I recently had the opportunity to check out Bruce Wayne: Not Super from DC Comics. The story is from Stuart Gibbs and the artwork is from Berat Pekmezci, and it is obviously about Batman.
The middle-grade graphic novel follows a teenage Cape Crusader going to school with every other DC character. Heroes and villains all going to school together is a funny concept that I think is pulled off well here.
What’s the joke about Batman? He’s just a rich kid with no powers, so what happens when he goes to a prep school with Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Arrow, etc.? Bruce has to come to grip with having no powers and how that affects his daily interactions with his classmates.
Bruce’s alienation at being powerless directly conflicts with his goal of being a vigilante hero for Gotham City. His camaraderie with Dick Grayson (Robin) helps him work through his feelings on wanting to be Ferretman Batman.
Aging adult characters down to young teens can come with their own difficulties, but I think Pekmezci nailed it. The artwork is very good throughout this book.
It may not be everybody’s cup of tea, but I really dig these “Elseworlds” stories that place the heroes in completely weird situations. And, what’s weirder than a middle/high school full of super-powered kids!
Clearly, I wasn’t the intended audience for this book, but I think those kids will have a great time reading this.

Fast read but well loved
Format: Paperback
I gave book 1 and 2 to my 9 year old and she read them both in 2 days and informed me when book 3 will be released. She said she liked the story, the characters had interesting names, and the graphics were exceptional.
