Charo, WTF Are You Wearing?

I don’t recall when I first saw Charo but I do recall, even at that young age, an understanding of the flambouyancy, comedy and confusion that went along with her celebrity. I couldn’t have been more than 10 years old, yet these were traits that were blatantly obvious to even me and more over, extremely puzzling. I guess I may have missed the boat as far as her hey-day went or something.

So now, years after one too many cosmetic surgery procedures and lack luster appearances on everything from Hollywood Squares to The Surreal Life, gone are the mini dresses, layers upon layers of make-up, sequins and glitter.  On the contrary, when a women has spent their life acting younger than their age and the time comes to pack it in, they take the course that would have been most natural in the first place I suppose: Doctors appointments, shuffle board games with old friends, and tracks suits made for 15 year olds.
