Description from Cuban Queen Crazy Chick: This pick was inspired by a scene from the movie The Last Samurai in which Katsumoto sees the perfection and beauty of the cherry blossom tree. In his last dying breath he says, "Perfect...they are all perfect." That scene had a profound effect on me. Go rent it!

Is your new profile photo the self-portrait of artist Freda Kahlo?
On Aug 03, 2009 at 9:57 am #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Thanks, Lynn! It’s actually a tribute painting to Frida Kahlo. Forgot the artist’s name, though! Frida is one of my favorite artists, along with Salvador Dali.

Mayan Chick - Lilly says:Stunning pick, Ivy! Fave!
I love your profile pic of Frida. She is one of my favorite artist, too. LOVE HER!!!
On Aug 03, 2009 at 10:36 am #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Thanks! I know, what’s not to love about Frida?! It was one of my favorite movies, too.
On Aug 04, 2009 at 1:12 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Oops — Sorry that I misspelled Frida’s first name! I love her work and Dali’s, too! Still want to work on her eyebrows, though….. LOL Never have cared for the uni-brow!
On Aug 04, 2009 at 12:36 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:LOL!
On Aug 04, 2009 at 12:36 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:She had a mustache, too, you know!

Chicky Suz aka Susan Z says:Beautiful pick! Have always been fascinated with Frida, didn’t see the movie though…
On Aug 04, 2009 at 12:57 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Thanks, Susan! It’s a really great movie, VERY well made, the way they integrate her paintings and bring them to life. I would highly recommend it, especially if you have an interest in Frida.
On Aug 04, 2009 at 12:59 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I remember now about her mustache and you can see it faintly in your profile photo! Didn’t Selma Hayek portray her in the movie?
On Aug 05, 2009 at 10:07 am #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Yeah, Lynn, Salma Hayek did an AMAZING job playing Frida. Did you see it?
On Aug 05, 2009 at 10:35 am #
Happy Chick aka Harriet says:This one went straight to Favs!! This is a great combination of colors and stones.
On Aug 05, 2009 at 10:37 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:No, Ivy, but I remember reading about Selma campaigning to get the movie made and to play the role of Frida Kahlo. Now I would really like to see it!
On Aug 05, 2009 at 10:39 am #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Hi, Happy Chick! Thank you!
Well Lynn, when you do see it, let me know how you like it!
On Aug 05, 2009 at 10:43 am #
Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Good morning, Ivy. I’m afraid I want to re-do Frida’s unibrow too. LOL
On the other hand, it is so distinctive that I knew immediately who the profile photo was.
Btw….You are much prettier. LOL
On Aug 05, 2009 at 10:43 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I will! Thanks for recommending it to me!
