Hey, I just noticed the Astorian Stigmata post you reblogged recently. The person in the pictures has Dia de los Muertos inspired make-up on, which is probably not okay if they're not Mexican... The sugar skull imagery is part of a culturally significant festival, so when it's used as a goth trend people tend to get upset. You might want to look into that!

I don’t want to get into it too much, but I don’t entirely agree with the popular(among people who know what it is) opinion on cultural appropriation. 

I do know what Dia de los Muertos is and I adore it as a concept. I assumed the person wearing the makeup was educated about it and was using it as symbolism rather than solely an aesthetic, though perhaps I was incorrect.
