Chilean Stereotypes

Special Number!!

We decided to include Chilean Stereotypes too. Every week we are going to publish a new profile about a specific chilean stereotype. Today, you will get to know what a Pelolais is, and what they mean for our culture.

"Pelolais"

Definition:

A pelolais is a young girl, who comes from a rich family. It is not just the fact that she comes from a rich family that makes her a Pelolais, but also other special features, such as:

-She loves going to the Shopping Center with her friends and spend a lot of money on her likes.

-Her hair is extremely straight. If she doesn't have natural straight hair, she will use a hair straightener to make it look the way she likes.

-To be a real Pelolais you need to be fashionable and popular. If you are old-fashioned, you're out of the world.

-They are always in shape, if not they go to the Gym.

-Real Pelolais people live in special places too. They live in the so-called "Barrio Alto" (the place where rich people live in) and they go to Private Schools

-In summer, Pelolais travel abroad and buy clothes and special items to be on the top of the fashion.

-They used to be very popular on Fotolog. Nowadays, they are popular on Facebook and Myspace.
-Pelolais and Cuicos are synonyms.

These are just some characteristics of Pelolais People, but there is a lot more...you can find out them by yourself =)
