22. BUSS OH NINE - sexicana

next on the list of wonderful and wacky activities my friends and i participated in on our holiday was: SEXICANA - a mexican party that relied heavily on the silly and potentially offensive stereotypes of mexicanism we all know and love. we ate tacos and burritos and damien's special nachos, and drank coronas like the plebs we are.

we made all of our costumes and all the decorations out of bits of coloured paper and pens, things we'd brought down with us, and a couple of props we picked up at the local bargain store (eg. sombreros). it took us about an hour in total to prepare the cooking/costumes/decorations i think we did okay!


a mexican feast!


did you know? mexicans LOVE playing pool. (ps. ignore charming log cabin picture in the background)

mexican twister! magda, right, reviews films (you can read her thoughts here) and she got the game as part of a promotional pack for the heartbreak kid, oddly enough.


i'm not sure this is strictly traditional

it turned out we had lots of tequila left over the next night.
