It was 1980 in Mexico City, my Mom had a crush on a famous singer by the name of Jose Maria Napoleon. I was around 4. I'm sure my Brother and I stayed with my Grandparents while my Mom went to see her crush in concert. She put her hair in hot rollers., put on her sexy white jacket, and slapped on some of that red lipstick I remember my mom wearing when I was a little girl. Mi Mama era guapisima.
I'm not sure what the sexuality of Mr. Napoleon was/is. I can draw my own conclusion by the silk shirt. I know that was considered sexy back in the 80's when men were starting to wear make-up and flamboyant attire, and it was driving the women CRAZY. I have a hard time believing he didn't lay eyes on my Mom and not wanted to take that necklace off from around his neck and give to my her. Either way, it makes me happy to see pictures like these, and hear stories of my mom being nothing but young, gorgeous, flirty and fun, and a single mother of 2.
Shorty after, I discovered my own obsession in flamboyant attire.
This was the first band I ever loved.
Squealing. Freaking out. Crying.
Boy crazy since I can remember.
AYE, DIOS MIO!!!
MENUDO!
