Souvenir shopping in San Diego’s historic Old Town presents an unmatched opportunity to score treasures that perfectly blend Mexican folk art with pop culture. Case in point: an eye-popping picture frame that reimagines DC’s Wonder Woman — with supporting appearances by Superman, and Batman — in bold, colorful Day of the Dead style, with intricate sugar skull makeup, vibrant detailing, creating a playful twist on the heroes we all know and love.

I had to look at this photo for a few seconds before I saw past the ornate, neo-Rococo frame to recognize the familiar Batman icon making up the actual mirror itself. Very cool! Created out of hand-molded, painted gypsum from a 2008 design by Stanislav Katz, this conversation-starting mirror comes standard in black, vintage gold or white (with other colors available on request), and measures just over 32-inches wide by 27-inches high. The sale price for one of just five mirrors currently available is $320 (not too dear really, considering) with shipping (from Latvia!) setting you back another $120. Worth it!
