Thanks to Lady Gaga’s song Born this way i am now familiar with the proper term for these ladies. Urban dictionary defines A chola as: 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 crunchy gel or straight and arched on top.

Why yes, i am VERY surprised!

For obvious reasons, whenever i see these chicks on the bus (i call them main street cholas) i can’t stop staring at them. I think to myself “what the hell? do you know what you look like? you’re eyebrows look fucking RETARDED!” most of the times these girls wear HUGE gold hoop earrings and hoodies, they look the “gangsta” part, and i laugh my ass off.Just look at these girls! Seriously, what the fuck is up with the eyebrows? and the black lipliner looks like they drew it in with shit, why the hell is it all black? I’m pretty sure this is eyeliner.

Then i started to remember the mid 90’s. Now, i wasn’t the most well behaved teenager, but i never got into any trouble with the cops or anything, was never in a gang, but my friends and i used to fight other girls pretty often. (cause we thought we were tough shit) I used to wear Nike track pants with skin tight white tee shirts and the matching Nike jacket….Hmmmm i had long hair that i used to gel the shit out of when it was wet. The result was that my hair would be rock hard and crunchy. I used to wear scrunchies on my wrist in case i got into a fight. And as for make-up…i know i used to wear really bright red lipstick…wait….didn’t i wear lipliner?, no not lip liner………oh god…..where is my grade 11 photo?
