Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican celebration, will soon be upon us. This year, I somehow garnered invites to two separate Cinco de Mayo parties. One is on the 5th of May itself, and the other is on tres de Mayo (nice try, guys). I took it upon myself to brainstorm possible Mexican-related costume ideas for these soirées.

1. Frida Kahlo: Procure a long, black wig, use black eyeliner to create a unibrow and mustache, andbam!become the spitting image of one of the greatest painters of the last century.

2. Gael Garcia Bernal: How to execute this? Big, foam hands à la The Science of Sleep? Gael as Che in The Motorcycle Diaries? Dressing as a transvestite as he did for Bad Education? All too complicated.

3. Taco: No. Just no.

I guess not all parties need to be theme parties. However, if you want to throw a Cinco de Mayo party on your profile, head to Webfetti for the latest Cinco de Mayo glitter graphics...
