Halloween on a budget: La Chilindrina
According to my site statistics, I’ve been getting a lot of people referred to the site after searching Chilindrina costume. I find this funny since I’ve never posted any photos of such a costume or even mentioned it on here.
Of all the costumes to search for, this one should be pretty easy (and inexpensive) to put together. I even wrote a haiku about it:
Low-budget costume:
Pigtails, freckles, sweater, dress
La ChilindrinaOriginally published in Puro Pedo Magazine’s February issue along with several other Chicano haiku.
I forgot to include the glasses, bloomers and sneakers, but you get the gist. Dressing up as La Chilindrina for Halloween or any costume party seems to work best as a group or couples costume. After all, la Childindrina without el Chavo del 8, Kiko and crew is just kinda sad.
Next up in the low-budget costume series: Frida Kahlo.

I’d dress up, but I have no where to go, and my neighborhood isn’t trick or treater friendly.. What a shame!

I agree….a lonely chilindrina would just not be right. You need the rest of the crew too.
Oh and by the way…. You’ll get even more hits now with that search (chilindrina costume) query cuz you actually have searchable text now. YIPEE!

My stats have people looking for “scary chola costumes.” I just might dig one up, 70s style of course. Wouldn’t want people mistaking me for a real one, not in my neighborhood!
