Mexipops

New year, so I'm kinda thinking of doing Minipops in a new way. I'm a little bit sick of doing pop stars, and frankly, having done Ms. Hilton a few months ago, I don't really have much of an interest in doing folks like that any more.
So to keep things interesting, and to make things less UK- and US-centric, I think I'm gonna go around the world with Minipops, focus on one country and do a bunch of Minipops from that country each time I do an update. It seemed to me that there was one place to begin this process: the place I've just been to.
So here's some, ho ho, Mexipops: Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, President Vicente Fox, footballer Hugo Sánchez, wrestlers Santo and Blue Demon, TV show character El Chavo del 8, Moctezuma II, Emiliano Zapata, and Subcomandante Marcos.
Any suggestions for which country should be the next focus of some Minipops?

All I got is curiosity.
"having done Ms. Hilton a few months ago"
"Done" Ms Hilton? Craig, just what did you get up to on your celebrity schmooze jaunts last year?
SCANDAL.
How about coming downunder for some AussiePops?
Paul: Oh you twisty words devil you!
Anon: Thanks, that's a good call. There's definitely a handful of Australians in there already (Minogue and Crocodile Dundee spring to mind), but time for a bigger effort, I agree.
Why not Germany? It's right in front of your door - and it has has one or the other celeb to offer.
Wales please:
Gavin & Charlotte, John Cale, Dylan Thomas, Prince Charles, Ryan Giggs...
Argentinapops:
Diego Armando Maradona, Evita Peron, Carlos Menem, Cesar Luis Menotti, Mario Kempes, Gabriel Batistuta, Gauchos, Tango dancers ...
I was going to suggest Wales too. You could do all manner of Super Furries dressed as Yeti and inflatable good and evil bears. And stove pipe hats! Oh, the fun.
I like the Frida Kahlo. And that tiny pixel format does wonders for her monobrow.
What's Welsh for Minipops? Anyone? Anyone?
Fishy: You're right, but I've done more German ones than you'd think: Nena, Mia, Die Ärzte, Helmut Kohl, that gay fashion dude that got killed last year...
Anon: Ryan Giggs? *shudder* He plays for, ahem, Them, so I can't do him, really.
Patrick: Niiice.
Stuart: Lots of SFAs would be great. And Welsh for Minipops is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogopops.
SwedePops... YankeePops... BritPops... KiwiPops... McMiniPops... (that's Scotland). Wow, the possibilities are ENDLESS! Well, almost. A see a new book beckoning... kind of an atlas with all the countries and the relevant minipops!
p.s. still haven't been able to find 'fun fun fun' yet...

Boring answer: I reckon Welsh would be Manpobs:
Man-ddarlun is miniature
Poblogaidd is popular

Lost my comment.
So I suggested NOT to do a dutch version called cheesypops, but a chinese version:
little mao, terracotta warriors, chinese wall, dragons, olympipops...
Hope this one gets posted...
I like the Mexipops Craig!
How about some Danpops. Vitus Bering, Niels Bohr, Michael Laudrup, Lars von Trier, Hans Christian Andersen and off course the greatest of the lot: Jan Mølby...
Splendid idea! I'm waiting for you to call and get the full Swedish city tour and do some scetching at the same time! :)
The World Tour of Minipops!
No, sorry, The Minipop World Tour!
cocopops. I just can't think of anyone famous from the Cocoa islands tho.
Wow, it's been a whilse since i commented. happy new year Craig! (and all).
But seriously, francopops would be good.
Then (book idea) do a minipops atlas of the world. I would certainly get it.
Nice to see so much Welsh interest, as a settled invader I don't speak Welsh though. Clever Dave. Could it be Cymrupops? (pronounced cumry by the way)or does it mutate?
Bullet for my Valentine from down the road are popular with my kids and could be a target. - bullet points......
