My style inspirations Pt. III (cholas)

Cholas inspire me BIG TIME! I....fucking...love...CHOLAS! Especially this one. <<<Ms. Krazie is so real that I am requiring you to listen to this song, and watch her vids
She is so down to earthand also tries to keep a relationship with her fans.
<<<This is Mona aka Sad girl and YES she is a Japanese chola, but she ROCKS, I woudn't be putting her here if she wasn't legit as hell. 
She has genuine interest and passion in the chola life style (the japanese, man they try anything!)
Anywho, I love cholas because they put so much work into their makeup it is on POINT.

Old school cholas or "pachucas" as they're called

Their makeup is heavily influenced by drag queens
The chola trend has pretty much all but died out. I'm not saying I agree with this lifestyle (quite the contrary!) but I LOVE this fucking style!Chola Hair Dos seriouslyrad.files.wordpress.com

^^^yes it's chola purikura!

It's street as hell, but done right it's also hella feminine and fierce.

Just a nod to the generation that started it all: Pachucas and pachucos
“La Dora” wears a zoot suit with huarache sandals, while others wear hairstyles and clothes popular among Mexican-American women. (Lowrider 2, no. 6)
Yes, old school gangster girls. (gangster girls have alwaysfascinated and terrified me)
Anywho I am totally fascinated by this subculture. I'm inspired by their extreme makeup, and life style, but I don't want to go to jail..or get shot, so I'll admire from afar! Anywho, I hope you all enjoyed this. I'll see you next time.
