My favourite photograph

“La Chilindrina y el Chapulín Colorado” is the name of this photograph. My mother took it, and wrote the name on this back side.

It was taken about in 1990, when I was 2 years old. It shows me and my sister, wearing as the “Chapulin Colorado” and Chilindrina, respectively. They was characters of a tv program called “El show de Chespirito” (Chespirito’s show). The Chapulin Colorado was a clumsy superheroe, who helps people in problems. He was wearing a yellow bokers over his red pants, red t-shirt, and red hat too. He had a something like a radar dish on the hat. It makes him hear the people who needed him. In the photograph I appeared wearing like him, but I have no hat, no bokers and I had the radar dish in my hands.

My sister looking like the Chilindrina, a character of another Chespirito’s program called “El Chavo del ocho” (Something like “The boy of the eighth house”. I don’t know if it has a official translation). Chilindrina was a friend of the Chavo del ocho, and she was a crybaby children.

I like this photograph because it shows us as we are. Me, pretentious, and she, very cheeky. My mother told me this is a casual photograph. We were just playing; we are not preparing to go to a fancy dress party.

I got the original photo in my Santiago’s room (I have another in Rengo, in the house of my parents), it’s on my wall with another photos of my family and friends. I make a copy of this to share with my sister, family and friends. This is the photograph you can see on this post.
