Beaming malfunction turns Captain Kirk into a Faux-ican

Once more the tragedy of the Mexican cliché gets outfitted with ruffled sleeves and maracas. Here's the entire commercial for Priceline.



Will someone please set the world straight? Mariachis and Charros are a gorgeous sight.




Wide towering hats, metal-encrusted tight jackets, and pants are an eyeful of real Mexico. Even the Colombians got it right when producing this famous telenovela.



So here's a hint: Don't add the ruffly sleeves . Don't add maracas. That's more Sonora Matancera at one of their more Hollywood gigs.

Mext and Match

Ponte the mariachi t-shirt over a pair of your favorite jeans and, órale! Now you are setting a true multicultural fashion statement.

The comprehensive Surropa web store aims to please. If the insta-mariachi is not your thing, shop by theme (Brazil, Caribbean, Dia de los Muertos, Mexico, Cartoon- Comic, Indigenous Culture, Lucha...to name a few).

No Chavo or Chapulin Colorado that I can see, only Don Ramón. Though I don't ever remember him muttering "Chanfle!" But, que le hace? His sour face makes the world smile.





Another classic is a La Madrastra t-shirt. Why? Maria Rubio was an iconic glamourous and villainous stepmother in la telenovela Cuna de Lobos. (Eye patch sold separately).

And gracias Guanabee. You are the coolest.
