So Handsome
Update from the Ladies of Mushpa y Mensa’s Magical Motor Machine Makeover!
Hello All!
We here at Mushpa y Mensa hope this email finds you terrific, happy and healthy. We would love to share with you a little bit of what we have been up to this summer.
First huge news…. Maya got some color!!! Remember when she was our blank canvas?
Maya went from dreary and pale, to sunlight and bright, with a dash of original Mushpa y Mensa artwork on the side.
With the help of our friends Marco and Sidney, we gave Maya a splash of purple posies, pastel mint, and a smidgen of bronzer. Next, the drawings we had on paper came to life in the form of a giga-sticker! So cool! This all came together, completing her present fantabulous exterior look! Still in the potential plan: red hub-cabs that will make everything pop! Glitter red slippers you could say. Oh Dorothy…

In other exciting news, we will be spending some time down south in order to build the inside of the truck! We said goodbye to NYC a week ago. Mushpa y Mensa will be out of The Big Apple for a bit, but make sure to keep updated with our outrageously awesome news via our newsletter (Sign up Now!), our Tweets @mushpamensa, and other good info at mushpamensa.com.
Thanks for tuning in, and again thanks to all for supporting the reality that once was a dream.
Much love,
Cara Elaine and Maria Emilia
You are Oceanic
All she wanted was to find a place to stretch her bones.
A place to lengthen her smiles
and spread her hair
a place where her legs could walk without cutting and bruising
a place unchained.
She was born out of ocean breath.
I reminded her; ‘Stop pouring so much of yourself into hearts that have no room for themselves
do not thin yourself, be vast.
You do not bring the ocean to a river.’
– Tapiwa Mugabe, You are Oceanic

To Quote Me…
It is true, we do not choose our destiny, it chooses us, but I also think it is a person of strength who chooses to follow their destiny instead of taking the “simpler” route.

Before and After
Hester Street Fair Here We Come
If you are in the New York area and want to check out our art in person you may!!! Good times!
Where exactly, Hester Street Fair, located in the heart of the Lower East Side and housed on the historic grounds of New York City’s largest pushcart market at the turn of the century, the Hester Street Fair pays homage to those roots by bringing together a collection of NYC’s best vendors in a bustling outdoor marketplace. They curate the finest artisanal food, vintage clothing, jewelry, crafts, home goods and much more.
Corner of Hester and Essex, take the F J M Z to Delancey F to East Broadway!
See you there.

So Close To The End!
That is correct! We have literally HOURS to go and need to raise $800. We are on the 99th backer. Who will be our magic 100? Basically, we need 33 people to buy us a $25 NYC cocktail or our 99 backers to increase their pledge by $10. We will take either! :]
Here are three reasons why Mushpa y Mensa’s Magical Motor Machine Makeover needs YOU and you need US:
1. We make people feel good.
Our art speaks to people, and grand people listen. When you can speak through your art, that makes it worth all the struggle.
2. You will be happy to have a little piece of you with us all the time! When you support, contribute, help, pitch in, donate, share, join…whatever you want to call it, that means that a little piece of your hard work went into making magic happen. Thank you and you’re welcome.
3. We are JUMPING with our EYES closed!
This is happening, no matter the circumstances, no matter the sacrifices, no matter what!
…and we’re cute. No, but really only 20ish hours left to go. Let’s do this!
Much love,
Mushpa y Mensa
