isei-silva:crispy-ghee:Mas y Manos - La Fiesta HispanaEach year Los Templos holds a week long festival celebrating the different mixes of Hispanic heritage that makes up the cultural foundation of their city. This allows JT particularly to celebrate the Mexican side of his genealogy.Growing up he was made to celebrate both his mother and father’s cultures through extra-curriculars and activities, and he grew up learning guitar and singing ranchera (also baile folklórico in high school but he hasn’t brought that into his adult life). He doesn’t play guitar as much as he used to, and he’s a little self-conscious about his voice, which is serviceable but isn’t the best, but something about putting on a traje charro and celebrating at la fiesta makes him feel more confident, honest, and open. Like a star in an old movie.**I drew all this around this time last year but I don’t think I ever posted it here, so here you go! The song that JT is singing is “Entrega Total” and he is 100% on his tippy-toes to kiss Mas ( @isei-silva ) in the second photo.I need to draw JT in his traje charro this year, a proper color illustration. Maybe after I set up my new computer. La Fiesta Hispana is celebrated around mid-September in Los Templos. Last time, Mas was gifted a stunning dress by JT, since getting one of these babies custom made for her height and size was way out of her prize range. I designed this dress after my grandmother’s shawl, one of my most prized possessions. Mas is wearing a corset type cinch to tighten her waist and accentuate the curves because she’s a rectangle otherwise. And, of course, the hero always gets the girl. -- source link
