CROSS-CULTURAL YIN YANG

 

Our Lady of Guadalupe meets Hello Kitty. One could not be more Mexican (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Guadalupe), the other more Japanese. Everyone has seen advertising on top of taxis, and there was a time when many St. Louis cabs had illuminated signs on the top that said "Our Lady of Guadalupe - Queen of the Americas."  I never figured that out. Hello Kitty might as well be a Shinto demi-god. My granddaughter likes tacos much more than sushi but that has no effect on her fashion sense.
