• • On Saturday, 11 August 2007 the Brownsville Historical Association is hosting a workshop that will teach you to draw a caricature of Mae West [or other celebrities] as part of the festivities surrounding the “Miguel Covarrubias: Caricuturista” exhibition.
• • Born in Mexico, Miguel Covarrubias was a popular artist in the early 20th century. He drew the era's most notable figures like MAE WEST — — whom he sketched for The New Yorker — — along with Franklin D. Roosevelt, Josef Stalin, Charlie Chaplin, and other VIPs all hilariously re-imagined via his exaggerated sketches.
• • This exhibit will be on display until 29 September 2007.
• • In Texas, the Brownsville Heritage Complex is located at 1325 E. Washington Street.
• • For information, contact: 956-541-5560.
• • Create even more Mae West memories on Friday evening 17 August 2007, when a guided tour will explore Manhattan's WEST-side during the "Mae West Side Story" walking tour. The event — — open to the public — — is timed to salute Brooklyn's own sexpot on her birthdate. [See the Annual Mae West Gala posting below.]
• • Only 10 more days until Mae's birthday!
