In an attempt to broaden their base, the Palm Springs Art Museum was sponsoring a free Day of the Dead celebration...
...and there was special outreach to Mexican families in the Coachella Valley who wouldn't normally spend $12.50 per person to look at abstract expressionist art.
Enhancing the surrealism, we arrived just as a couple of tour buses from Los Angeles appeared carrying dozens of East Indian tourists.
Just in case that bit of multiculturalism wasn't wacky enough...
...there was also a large contingent of mostly white females...
...who were rehearsing downstairs in the Annenberg Theatre for that afternoon's trifecta of beauty pageants...
...which would determine the winners of the 2007 Mrs. California International, Miss California International and Miss Teen California International...
...under the watchful eye of the pageant official above.
After a quick whirl around the galleries...
...where there was a real goth boy looking at unreal middle-aged tourists...
...we dropped off a picture of my recently deceased kitty at the Dia de Los Muertos altar that had been set up on the main floor, where Miss Tina looked right at home.
