The Flying Chancla Report: Chisme, Eddie G and What Will Happen #IfTrumpWins

Hola Chulas y Chulos? How my favorite hijos de la chanclada doin’? My chancla and I have some funnies for you this week, so hold on to your pompis and like Dora says, “Vamonos!”

• Don’t you absolutely HATE it when you get shamed for your culture? Well, enough of that nonsense! It’s time for us to shame the shamers and embrace our cultural birthrights. For example, I come from a long line of chismosas and thanks to this I’m a Proud Chismosa PSA, I will never whisper chismes in a shameful hush. I’ll still whisper on occasion because sometimes chisme is so good it is worthy of lowering your voice so that whoever is listening has to lean in to hear all that juiciness, but it won’t be because I am ashamed. Say it loud, “I’m chismosa and I’m proud!” Now watch the video because the truth is that sometimes chismes save lives or at least that’s what I heard from my tía’s neighbor’s prima.

• So checka this out! My chancla and I were in Long Beach for the #WeAllGrow Summit and we run into Eddie G! OK, we didn’t really run into him, he was sitting on a bench listening to something on his headphones so we wouldn’t bother him, but we bothered him anyway because OMG, it’s Eddie G! Also, he was really easy to spot because there was a whole lot of females at this conference and the salchicha was scarce, if you know what I mean and I’m sure you do because it’s not like I’m being subtle. Anyhoo, he was nice enough and didn’t act all “Oh, I am WAY too internet famous to talk to you and your chancla.” Nope, not at all. He did give us some kind of a lecture for not properly tagging him on social media when we tell people about him, but we weren’t mad because he was right and all. The only thing that really bummed us out about the interaction is that we didn’t have time to have him teach us how to dance like a chola in person and he’s so good! Maybe next time.
