Julia Pastrana

I read an article about Julia Pastrana here
It's a great read and the author talks about the role of beauty, being fat and famous and all sorts of other interesting things.
Julia was a fascinating-looking woman.
Here is one of my lesser known realities featuring Julia.

first, her portrait, based on photograph (colored pencils on paper)


next - this is Julia in a beret and glasses


 Julia as Che Guavara's comrade (still wearing glasses)


Julia in a hat with pink flower


Julia with flowers in her hair (inspired by F.Kahlo)


the same - with glasses

And finally, wearing kokoshnik, traditional russian head ornament
