In the eye of the beholder

I was just wandering last Saturday, killing time before the desfile started, and came across these scenes.  First, this fashion shoot with a professional model.  It made me think of all the mannequins in stores here, very few of which look anything like oaxaqueñas.  What striking features.  I love the contrast against the wall. 
The whole thing made me think about our varying standards of beauty
Me, I was just having fun.  I  wonder what kind of shots they got.
Within a block I came across this shoot and these models were oaxaqueñas. 
 A very different look.
I recognized this woman from one of the Viernes en Llano that I shot in May.
"How do I look?" "Maahrvelous!"
While I was shooting them, this young lady and her entourage walked by. 
 Quinceanera time!
Around the corner, almost simultaneous to the desfile, this boda.  Certainly a bride is always the most beautiful...
to her groom.

Beauty abounds!
