Metropoli Patriotismo, a shopping mall within walking distance of the apartment, is decorated for the Day of the Dead with a number of skeletons. The mall had them last year, and looking back at my old blog entries, I posted pictures of a number of them. Here are some that were not on the blog last year...
I think that all of the skeletons are supposed to represent famous people and celebrities. Some of them I recognized, others I did not.
The unibrow gives it away. This is supposed to be Frida Kahlo.
From the attire of this skeleton and the tiny mustache, it is obviously Cantinflas, the famous comedian and movie star who has been compared to Charlie Chaplin. Photographs often show him in this costume, comparable to Charlie Chaplin's "little tramp" outfit.

With these clothes as well as the freckled face, there can be no doubt that this is "El Chavo del Ocho", the protagonist of a popular comedy series on Mexican television.

For "fútbol" fans, the Argentian uniform and the number 10 make it obvious that this is soccer superstar Lionel Messi.
I have no idea who these skeletons are supposed to represent. Does anyone know?
