But first, off to Pitillal to find a barber to make Allan beautiful! He’s looking a little like a hippy. We walk the 40m to this small town and find a barber. On the way we pass a yard filled this individually caged roosters. We have learned these roosters are for cock fights. Sad but that still happen here.
Pretty bushes along the way
The art of beautication has begun 🙂 No more hippy, just ☮️& 150 pesos, 200 with tip; $15.65 Cdn
Walking back, how would you like this job??Chill at the condo play a game of cards and off to dinner we walk. This walk is about 1h We will be happy for dinner and a REST! Made it to El Granero a brewery and pizza joint. I of course, didn’t have pizza but rather a super delicious Stuffed Portobello, Shrimp & bacon. Allan had the Pork belly pizza , BBQ sauce, red onions, jalapeños, “sin” pineapple with a local amber beer . Isn’t he beautiful!! My portabello photo came out blurry, guess I was too anxious to devour it
A typical street heading to Hedda Lettuce
The magazine in the waiting to enter area, guess which tour Allan was in for?What I didn’t know, or even heard of (guess I live a sheltered life) is this is Bear Week. Yep! I thought it had to do with bears. Allan did the “oh Mary-Ann look”
Bear weeks in the world, will take place in Puerto Vallarta Mexico from January 28th to February 4th.
What’s a bear (when it’s not a bear?) In gay culture, “bear” is a term for men who are large, hairy, or both. The bear concept can function as an identity or an affiliation, and there is ongoing debate in bear communities about what constitutes a bear. Moving on..

Lettuce was a model and client of Stephen “Suede” Baum during a challenge in the fifth season of Project Runway. On the set Hedda had several disagreements with Suede, especially over his not designing gloves for her, which caused Hedda to call him “lazy”.
This led to designer Jerell Scott using the name “Hedda Lettuce” as a term for a model that is hard to work with.
