I'm Magda, The Motherf-ing Queen of Spain

It is my first portrait by an artist ever, it is by Frohawk Two Feathers currently at Taylor De Cordoba gallery in Culver City. I "sat" for him a few months back in his backyard while he photographed me with all sorts of props in my hands like knives and machetes and proper hand-fans for effect, I was sitting in for Magda, the Queen of Spain in the late 1700s for heaven's sake and security was no joke. People in power were bad-ass and showed it or they were eliminated, but the weapons did not make it into the portrait. Frohawk went for the facial tattoos instead. That is my hat though - remember it from here?
