- Hi, it's Carolina!
I am transforming today into three of my favorite-
I think iconic- novela characters.
Not even novela- just people on Latin TV.
We're gonna start off with Maria del Barrio.
We know her, she's the Latina Annie,
she's the queen of trash.
I hate saying that, but she's literally-
I mean, she's the queen of trash with that crown.
I think "Maria la del Barrio" is, like,
a true, iconic telenovela.
And then the next character I'm gonna doing,
I'm gonna be trying to be Lupita Fernandez
played by Maite Perroni from "Rebelde."
Oh my God.
So, I was, like, six years old when this show came out.
I would say the Mexican "Lemonade Mouth,"
if you know that reference.
The next character I'm gonna be doing
is Chilindrina from "El Chavo del Ocho."
She is quite literally my everything.
I feel like I have been Chilindrina my entire life,
especially now that I have this short haircut.
A lot of the things that I'm gonna be wearing today
we're gonna make DIY literally right now.
And I'm gonna call this part
♪ Crafty Carolina ♪
because I'm not artistic.
So, the first outfit that I'm gonna be doing
is Maria del Barrio.
So, let's start off by making her trash crown.
Like, why does she have a crown?
Do they ever explain that?
Do they ever explain why she went to prison?
I don't remember that either.
But you know what? Let's get started.
Let's start crafting. Let's go.
We are gonna do multiple things right now.
We're gonna make her fingerless gloves.
These are fabric scissors
so this should literally be super simple.
I'm pretty sure hers are green.
I can't really tell in her photo.
She wears a black outfit
so I'm gonna assume that she also wears black gloves.
(cheerful music)
Yowch!
Should not be taking this long.
This should literally be super simple.
So, I don't have a trash crown. Couldn't find one.
So, I have this headband
and I think I'm gonna put it like this
and I'm gonna try-
I'm gonna cut out little triangles
and see if I could make them stick out out of my headband.
So, we're gonna draw some triangles.
Bend it like so.
And then you just, like, stick it like this. Does that work?
We're keeping it. It's happening.
I am going to try to do, like, some of her dark spots
and I think she has-
(record scratches) It's green?
Oh, whoops. It looks black.
Does this not look black right here?
Janky.
I'm dirty and I pick up trash for a living.
What if I have green on my face, you know?
Grab my hair extensions
that I got when I was going through a breakdown
'cause I missed my long hair.
You can't even tell that they're extensions!
Ta-da!
(upbeat music)
I'm literally her.
(brass music)
Okay, so I don't think I did that bad.
I tried adding dirt on my arm
but it just looks like I feel down a flight of stairs.
My hair could be a little bit poofier and curlier
but I feel like overall Maria del Barrio, check.
So now, I'm gonna go and transform
into Lupita from "Rebelde"
and I'm gonna straighten my hair.
Okay so, I am in...
a denim skirt.
I got the tied shirt.
So, now I just have to figure out how to tie a tie.
(upbeat music)
(exhales)
This is gonna take a while.
Before I get any hate like,
"How do you not know how to tie a tie?"
does it look like I've ever worn a tie before?
I mean, I know I have the Lord Farquad look right now,
but...
(upbeat music)
So, oh my God, okay, look!
I'm gonna put my shoes on
and then we'll do a quick photo shoot.
(upbeat music)
I have come to the conclusion I don't look like Lupita
'cause she has long hair.
(speaks Spanish)
Funny story.
Chilindrina wears a yellow, Peter-Pan-collar shirt.
Couldn't find a yellow, Peter-Pan-collar shirt
so I decided, "You know what?
I'll just get one of these, I'll dye it yellow,
and then we'll call it a day."
I tried to look for yellow fabric dye for, like, two days
and I could not find any.
So I was like, "You know what? I have a sewing kit.
Why don't I use my sewing mind-"
doesn't exist-
"and I'll sew yellow on top!"
So, you know, I try to go buy some fabric
and I was like, "I'll just buy some ribbon.
Shouldn't be that hard."
You wanna know what I bought that my mind-
I saw it in the store and I grabbed it?
Didn't even look at it,
didn't even look at it until right now.
Accidentally bought duct tape
'cause I thought this was literally, like, ribbon.
My mind has decided I'm just gonna Scotch tape
the Peter Pan collar part of this
and we're gonna hope for the best.
So, without further ado...
(cheerful music)
This is gonna look very, very disgusting.
'Cause, see, I could have easily just went out
and gotten a Chilindrina costume
but I was like, "No, that's not what the people want.
People wanna see some struggle, some determination.
They wanna see an underdog."
And you know what I am?
I'm your underdog, baby.
(cheerful music)
And y'all didn't believe in me.
I believed in me.
We are going to make her little pocket patch
thing that she has on her dress.
(upbeat music)
And I have attempted to make a yellow patch.
Don't ever hire me for DIY crafts.
It looks really good!
Okay so, now we're gonna do the hair for Chilindrina.
(cheerful music)
Perfect!
Oh my God!
(laughs)
So, I think I did a great job today.
I think definitely Chilindrina was the number-one.
I was the most fun.
I was walking around my apartment going
(vocalizes softly)
and (wails)
I sent pictures to my family.
They loved it. They laughed.
I didn't seen them laugh but they said,
"Jajaja," with the Js so you know they laughed.
This was fun!
I hope you enjoyed it
because I had too much fun, in fact, making this.
