With this year's Gala for the Election of the Carnaval Queen in Santa Cruz happening as we speak, how about a blast back to a Carnaval Queen of the past - from the year 1994.
Mª Candelaria Rodríguez Pacheco, then 20 years old, won with a costume entitled "Diva" and designed by Marcos Marrero, in representation of (patronised by, in other words) all the gaming casinos on the island.
This old image is one of several I had knocking around from back in the days when cameras has film in them - do you remember that? 
What I couldn't remember was which image was of the queen, or those of her attendants, or even what year it was.
Heck, I managed to remember that it was in Santa Cruz. That's something!
Anyway, just by chance the other day, I found this video at YouTube, which clearly shows this same girl in this costume, who was the Reina del Carnaval de Santa Cruz de Tenerife 1994 (Carnaval Queen of Santa Cruz 1994.)
That was a significant year, as the commentary reminds us, as it was also the year of the 500th Anniversary of the founding of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 1494.
