Quiz: Am I Appropriating Frida Kahlo's Look Or Do I Just Have A Unibrow?
We all enjoy trying out new styles and experimenting with new looks. But something that’s always important to ask yourself when you’re working a new fit: am I appropriating famed Mexican artist Frida Kahlo’s look, or do I just have a unibrow?
Appropriation is real and so are unibrows. To figure out which you are, answer the questions below!
Ask yourself: is my outfit a clear theft of the powerful artistic and cultural legacy of one of Mexico's greatest artists, or do I just need a pair of tweezers?
Does the way I combine a traditional Latinx look with a daring sense of feminine empowerment appropriately honor Frida, or should maybe one of my friends make a gentle suggestion about personal grooming?
Am I accessorizing with these thorns, monkey, and black cat in homage to Frida’s 1940 work Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird, or did I just decide waxing was absolutely out of the question?
Finally, consider: am I adopting the iconography of one of the most famous and influential artists of the 20th century in conscious reflection of her accomplishments and goals, or do I just need to look in a damn mirror?
Look in your heart!
