There's still a whole lot of celebrating going on around here.
I'm the kind of person who likes to celebrate birthdays for the entire month, so celebrating my 7 years in the blogosphere really does deserve a month-long celebration, but that's not important right now.
Also, I've been busy lining up the very best the Cuban community has to offer for My Big, Fat, Cuban Family readers. So thanks to your wonderful response, this is going to be a really fun giveaway.
Let me tell you what I have in store for you today.
My wonderful friends at Habana Brand Clothing have very generously offered the following giveaway to celebrate my 7 Bloggywonderful Years. You probably remember Roland from his beautiful Cuando Sali de Cuba story that he shared with us last year.
Here's just a taste of the Habana Brand Fabulousness that you sooo want to be a part of:
Lucy and Jonathan looking sooo accidentally cool in their Habana Brand shirts.
The winner will receive both:
- A Habana Brand T-shirt – they have some amazing designs that you get to choose from.
- A 16 x 20 poster – you can choose from one of 5 beautiful designs.
This is my favorite.
To enter this drawing for A Habana Brand Shirt and Poster of Your Choice, please leave a comment on this post and answer one or both of the following questions:
- Do you love wearing your Cubanness for the world to see? (Or is the word, Cubanity?)
- Do you have Cuban art in your home?
Please leave your comment on this post and I'll choose one winner on Friday, October 25th, 2013 at 11am PST.
2) For an extra entry, please go "like" Habana Brand Clothing on Facebook and come back and leave me another comment telling me:
- "I like Habana Brand Clothing!"
So that's not one, but two entries. Because that's the way I roll…
I love wearing my Cubanness, Cubanity, whatever:)The only Cuban “art” I have in my house is a lovely Varadero sign;) But not for lack of love for said art, more from lack of funds:/
and I “like” Habana Brand Clothing Company!
I love to show off my “Cubanicity” (ha…just made up a word) whenever and wherever I can!I have no actual Cubanarian art pieces (yet another word!) around the house, just some sweet little tchotchkies my Mom and Aunt have handed down to me (and are invaluable to me!). Therefore, that beautiful poster would be a great start to the vast collection I plan to have one day. ๐
Of course I weat my cubanidad!! Loud and proud all the time ๐
I like habana brand clothing!!!
Yes, I like to flaunt my Cubaneria.I had 9 of my favorite ” Carteles Magazine cover” framed in a collage and it looks fantastic, I also have a picture of an old door from my Grandfather’s farm in Yateras,
And a painting of Cuba’s national flower, -La mariposa- (white ginger , I think)
Beside i have all “the memories, pressed between the pages of my mind”
I’m a proud Cuban so I love to wear Cubanity t-shirts. I have a beautiful poster of from Pam American Airlines pre-Castro. It says “Visit Cuba.” and it has el malecon. I had it framed and it’s in my living room wall.
I’m proud to show off my Cubanity. ๐ I have Cuban art all over my house. Framed pictures, memorabilia,and Tobacciana too.
Do you love wearing your Cubanness for the world to see? (Or is the word, Cubanity?)yes, of course, I am very proud of my Cubanness. I love wearing, singing, dancing, cooking and celebrating my Cuban heritage and I am a very proud to be a Cuban. I live in Delaware originally from Miami and miss being around other Cubans. Where I live Cubans are very rare so I tell everyone I’m Cuban. Soy Cubano y soy muy orgulloso de eso…que bola!
Do you have Cuban art in your home?
no,I don’t have any Cuban art in my home most of my pictures are in my laptop…I use my screensaver to show off my cuban pictures. If I win the poster? I will frame it for everyone to see.

Unfortunately, no I do not wear my Cubanity. This tshirt can be my start. As far as Cuban art I have a pic of cafรฉ con leche in my kitchen.

I wear my Cubanity 24/7 since I have the Island of Cuba with the Cuban flag tattooed on my forearm. Now that the weather is cooling down, I can start wearing my CUBA hoodie.Right as you walk in my door, the first thing you see is a picture of El Malecon that my cousins gave me when I went to visit them in Cuba.
I like Habana Brand Clothing! ๐
100% Cubana and proud of it. I love my adoptive Country, USA, and lived here since the age of 4; but my people, my food, my culture…oh how I love it. And my children, 31, 29 and 26 have adopted the entire culture. (They can roast a mean lechon!) I wear my asabache and my Isla de Cuba charm on the charm bracelet! LOL As far as Cuban art, I have many pictures of my early childhood there and an original painting brought by my Godmother on a trip to the US in the 1990’s hanging in my living room.
Marta, I love to show up my cubanity, on my self, my house and my car. I have a Cuban room in my house, palms trees, Cuban flags, La rumbera cubana and many more. I wear my bracelet that read Cuba, I have a Cuban purse and many more items. I have a personalize license plate that read LAQBNITA, look for me around your area because I go around there a lot. My son (even when h was born here in California) wears his cubanity a lot, he has hats and T-shirts.
I like Habana Brand on Facebook.
Marta, I love wearing my Cubanness out! I love being Cuban!! I have many t-shirts and hats! My husband is American and he’s grown to love our culture! My kids love the Cuban culture and love their Abuelos!We also have Cuban art in our home! We have a big Poster/Photo above our fireplace que dice, “Cuba”. I have a beautiful art piece, which is a painted tile of the church, La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre en Cuba. And many other things… ๐

I proudly wear and display my Cubanity for all the world to see. Though I do this through t shirts, hats etc., I don’t have any art on display yet.

I love wearing my Cubanness any way I can! I don’t have much Cuban art at home but I’m just starting out – ask me in a couple of years and the answer will definitely change!
We just moved and the first things to go on the wall was our Cuban art – sketches of the Holguin country-side.

I love wearing my Cubanness.
Absolutely love wearing your Cubanness for the world to see! Have some Cuban art but would love more!
Although I came from Cuba when I was 4 months old, I was raised as a true cuban. I love wearing anything cuban, unfortunetly here in LA we don’t have access to as much merchandise as in Miami, however, everytime there is a cuban festival or anything cuban, I make sure to buy t-shirts, bracelets or anything I can find. I attended the Dodger Cuban Day and was able to find 100% Cubano hats for my boys. I also have a beautiful collection of water colored Cuba photos from the 20’s, framed and hung in my living room. Also the cuban emblem, with cuban flag hung along with the photos. And many cuban books. My sons (we)are very proud of being Cuban. Thank you!!!!
I had already liked Habana Brand Clothing a long time ago! And like it again!
Hi Marta! I’m American born Cuban married to a Puerto Rican and I definitely let my Cubaness shine through. I have visited Cuba only once and I am proud to tell my mostly European descendant neighbors where my parents come from. They come from a beautiful tropical lush green island inhabited by the most heartwarming people that make anyone from this planet feel at home. The food with it’s sweet criollo aromas and so flavorful there is none like it in the world…and it’s espresso coffee to finish off with Cuban pastry delights.. To remind me of all this my Cuban “art” are mostly new and “old” pictures of my relatives and paternal grandparents. My grandparent’s picture was taken over 60 years ago on their farm as a background.I also have a dark wood carving from the 90s of the Virgin Mary made by a cousin who lives in Cuba and is very artistic in his craft. I would love to add Cuban art to balance my decore…

I love wearing my Cubanness and I wear it proud! I recently moved to Los Angeles from Miami and am THRILLED to read the feeds left by MBFCF. We Cubans are such groupies, aren’t we?! We always seem to find each other…and stick together, whether in blogs, parties, communities, etc…We have artwork and books on our “Cuba de ayer” on display in the living room. We are Cuban…We are Proud!

I would love to have more Cuban art in my home. Does the stuff I make as a Cuban count? I am a Cuban Miami transplant in NW NJ and there isn’t much out here in terms of Cubanness. Would love to win to show it off more as I’ve been told my face screams Cuban.

I love wearing my cubanness out in public… Such a rich culture should be shown. Specially T-shirts with Cuban sayings.. Great conversation starters.. Very fun
Yes, I do wear my “Cuba” t-shirt with pride. I bought it & a guayabera for my grandson years ago at Sentir Cubano during a visit to Miami.Art in my home? Of course! I have an old Coca Cola ad from a Ladies Home Journal magazine–full page showing people on the beach at Varadero enjoying Coca Cola! I also have photos from childhood & a shadow box I created with some memorabilia.
I very much love showing my “Cuban-ness” I’ve actually got the Cuban flag, in the shape of a butterfly tattooed on my wrist! I have a couple of Cuban posters in my home, and I’m always on the look out for more! I’m very proud of my heritage!And I LIKE Habana Brand Clothing on Facebook! ๐
I love wearing my Cuban-ness. My favorite are my Cuban earrings ๐ but gotta love an awesome t-shirt :). I do have Cuban posters and a key holder that is in the shape of the island. Gotta have some Cuban on the walls ๐
I am Cuban-American and proud of it!!!! Love the culture, the talk, the food, the family and all of it!!There are sprinkles of Cuban art everywhere in my home, even though I was born here. There are things the primos sent, stuff the tios made, things Mami & las tias bring back. I love it. Reminds me of “Cuando Sali de Cuba”. Will ever forget the family’s dreams! Need to pass them on. oxoxoxo
PS I love to show off el Cubaneo!
I’m very proud of being Cuban but don’t have any Cubanness clothing. However, I do have several pieces of Cuban art in my house from local Miami artists.
