For this Halloween, I chose to represent the fearless, the underestimated and undervalued cholita, of the Bolivian type I mean. For the most part, my costume was somewhat authentic, except for the straw hat from Goodwill and the cabbage pat doll wearing my North Face hat. But other than that, I feel as though I've represented my South American female counterparts well. I had to carry around some pictures I took of the cholitas to help people understand what I was supposed to be. But, to my joy, one of our local missionaries from Ecuador recognized me right away. I even got a few "Most Creative" votes at a friend's party.
On Monday, we are having Sports Day for our school spirit week. I am dressing as a cholita. Why, you ask? Because some of these fearless women are also known to participate in professional WWF style wrestling:
So I figure, I'm perfectly justified in sporting this garb on Monday too!
Hope you all had some great Halloween fun!
