This rare historical photo shows a side of Frida Kahlo that rarely is talked about.  The famous Mexican artist was bold and beautiful.  More confident than most women of her time, Frida also dressed in drag. In this photo, she is dressed in a suit and tie, staring straight into the camera.  As a well known self portraitist, Frida knew exactly how to manipulate an image or a photo to get a desired outcome.  A far cry from her usual bold attire, this photo exists as proof of the multi-dimensional person that Frida Kahlo was.
