The chola art is something very beautiful- while a cholo will have a uniform of creased ****ies, a white tank top and jersey or flannel, Nike Cortes shoes or "chucks", will most likely have several tattoos and a bald head... the chola will shave her eye brows and draw them in very thin like that of the pachucas. In fact their make up resembles a 1930-1940s feel to it with outlined lip liner (usually darker that the lipstick)and "cattails" a streched out line over the eyes and her hair can be bleached blond and puffed out on top like the pachucas...

A very beautiful culture... Cholas are well respected and have a very strong heart.

Damn, everyone I know has a thing for firme looking Cholas. I miss seeing them around."


This is a very passionate Chola lover...

Liz, thanks for that! I had never heard of a Chola ... can't wait to see entries.
