    Glad you liked this.

    This is a statue of an Otomi Indian dancer, the indians prevalent in this area. At fiestas in the Bajío, many dancers are dressed like this. The nuts on the ankles keep very good rhythm.

    Your mission should you choose to accept it is to get the REAL dancers.
    As always, should you or any of your photog friends be caught or killed, Dgrin will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
    Good luck, Willard.

    I include the video link below because there are dancers dressed very like the statue and also to give you a sense of a Mejican fiesta. I think this may be the best, most beautiful video I have ever seen.
