... in response to Emails, posted by valleydude on Mar 12, 2005It's worded like an 8-year old budding Chola.
For the "Chola"-challenged, here is how they define themselves:
Sample definition #1:
"A chola is a firme hyna (latina) that wears a lot of makeup: thick eyeliner, liquid eyeliner on top going out of your eye dark brown or red lipstick and eyebrows drawn on or really thin. We mostly have permed hair with hella gel or straight and arched on top. We kick it with people in our own barrio and not really claiming a color mainly your raza. (Brown Pride) or (Barrio)and wear baggy or tight cloths with nike cortez shoes.
We bang our barrio and raza and got fine ass vatos!!!!"
Sample #2:
"girls who are invovled witk barrio gangs,they also wear hella makeup like racoon style.they dress with tight clothes or sometimes baggy clothes.they usually have boyfriends from the same gang.
if your gonna mess with my barrio,you gotta get through me puta cabrona."
Sample #3:
"A female of Latin background who feels she doesn't belong back in home country. And don't necessarily agree with the families' traditions, so they are perceived as rebellious... Music, fashion and gangs are just a few things that unite cholas, but there are many cholas around who don't quite fit all those definitions above (and that is the essence of CHOLA= never quite fitting in...)
1. "Have you seen J Lo dressed as a chola in her new video?"
2. " I have read the criminal definition of a chola, and identify my self as one."
Sample #4:
"A fine ass Chicana with style."
Any brief stay in Los Angeles will dispel that.
Sample #5:
"A female gangsta.
We are beautiful women no matter what people say. And not all of us wear a lot of makeup. But even when we do we look better than all you gringos"
And, my favorite:
Sample #6:
"The girls my brother gets pregnant"
