Feliz Navidad and Merry Christmas from the Tex[t]-Mex Galleryblog

Wishing you and yours 

a stereotype-free 2014!!!!

Your gift?  The voice

of Speedy Gonzales, Mel Blanc,

crooning a navidad classic,

"The Hat I Got for Christmas is too Big."*

*note: the bizarre lyrics of the

song merely confirm the argument

in Tex[t]-Mex regarding "Mexicans"

as synecdoche for a sordid sort

of sexual potentiality--but I will

hold this comment in reserve

for the rest of the holidays.
