“Look in the mirror, that’s your competition”
A CHOLA IN CONGRESS!
What does your clothes represent? My clothes has evolved in it’s representation. At first, because my parents couldn’t afford much, it was pobresa. When a local church and the community would give us clothes, it was necessidad! Wearing your older brother or sister’s pants, pajamas or calzones, was la realidad! When I learned to construct my own clothes and match with my thrifting, it became creatividad. Now that I’m free and feeling fire- lots of fire, me visto con mas sensualidad! Since falling in love with me, me visto con mas seguridad. With that kind of confidence comes more sexualidad! Pero, since I spotted a WOC wearing a bright turban, a chula wearing some hoops and her burning red lips, in congress?! Uuuuffff…! They were in Washington, in the news, in political magazines, as well as high fashion literature! Pues ahora me visto con mas libertad. What does my clothes represent? Pues como dijo un chulo, “Lo que se ve, no se pregunta”
