It is hard to believe that Selena’s death took place 21
years ago, the legacy of her music, style and overall iconic presence has transcended
generations. Her fandom spans from those who were old enough to go to her concerts when she was alive, to those who were
not even born in the 80’s and 90’s when
her career was in full swing.
Selena's legacy is such that when makeup artist Jose Antonio
Figueroa posted a picture on his Instagram of a dream-like MAC lipstick the
internet EXPLODED. And, when radio
producer Patty Rodriguez created a change.org petition
and gathered over 37,000 signatures, MAC took notice. Last July the cosmetics
company released the news that a MAC & Selena collection is set to be released later this year.
While we wait for a Selena inspired lippy, get ready because
San Francisco is where we will have a Selena Tribute night. The event will take place on March 25th at
Mighty, and it will be hosted by radio
legend Chuy Gomez and Mayra “Hella Breezy.” Also on deck, DJs Kool Kyle, Mr. E,
Santero, and Lando 1 (with proceeds
benefiting the Selena Foundation.)
The demand for this event has caused a frenzy on Facebook,
so much so that the $10 pre-sale sold out within hours of the event published.
So, ladies, get your red lippys
out, wash the high-waisted jeans, and pull out your best bustier, because this
event is one not to miss out.
UPDATE:THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT! 2ND NIGHT ADDED! Get your tickets HERE.
