Lupe Vélez and Her Gringa Proxy

Not much of a new entry today, but during my trawl of the world wide waste of time, aka the world wide obsession, I stumbled on an eBay auction for a photo of Mexican phenom Lupe Vélez and her impersonator. Dutiful perusers of this space and of my book, Tex[t]-Mex already know of my Jean Baudrillard predilections, so I may be forgiven for forwarding this image with its implicit and explicit ironies to you.
