Lily LA Catrina "Siempre en mi Corazon" catrina exhibit showcased at Olvera Street, Los Angeles, California October 6-8, 2023. Lily Martinez aka the LA Catrina is a professional fashion designer and illustrator. She graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in DTLA with a Fashion Design degree in 1997 and worked for Mattel designing dolls and clothes as a Designer, Manager and later the Creative Director for the Barbie brand. The exhibit was "a modern celebration of Mexican Catrina culture through the lens of a native Angeleno."

From the artist, "It means the world to me that you are here sharing this very special event and moment in my life. Our passed loves ones will forever be in our hearts (sic) 'till our last breath. I will always honor and celebrate them with my Catrina artisty. Thank you for you love & support!! Love & Light, Lily."

The show is a culmination of the past nine years of Lily Martinez' Catrina costumes for Dia de los Muertos. She is showcasing 26 different catrinas in the show. She also hand painted the mannequins. This woman is so incredibly talented and detail oriented. The overall styling, dresses, headdresses, makeup and jewelry are all so perfect! You MUST see this in person!

I'd been meaning to see this historical cathedral but it was generally closed. I drove by and saw the door open today so I dropped by. More amazing in person! Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson are members as was Telly Savalas. It was built in 1952. 1324 S Normandie, Los Angeles, California on east side of Normandie between Venice and Pico Blvd. http://www.stsophia.org
