Actually, that's part of the dress up. Some say that if you match those of the dead, they can't tell who's among them and who isn't it.

La Catrina! She's an art piece by José Guadalupe Posada. It was originally about, um, people here trying too hard to be more like Europeans who colonized here, but everyone loved her! She got made into all kinds of paper mache statues and art things. Now she's just a very pretty skeleton lady that ties to Día de Muertos and the idea that we shouldn't be afraid of death but remember that in the end, it makes us all equal. I learned that in history class a few years ago.
