[Aztlan] Latest Story on Apocalypto - link to nicolemillercollection

[Bryan R. Just]

While some of the designs seem only slightly 'Maya,' several of the outfits
incorporate a design straight out of Rio Azul Tomb 1 - a far cry from Tulum,
which supposedly inspired the line.

Oh my gosh, some of the blouses and dresses even have baroque pseudo glyphs!
Thanks for passing this on to us Bryan.  This means that I can retire some
of my worn-out Texas Maya Meeting T-shirts for something a bit more
fashionable. Ouch in the pocket-book though.  I'll have to wait until Sears
starts to carry the scaled down versions.

Grins,
Elaine
