Those of you that know me, or have a good eye, know that I have curly hair. To have curly hair in Chile is to be called "La pequeña Lulú." No way around it. This I have

But there was a pequeña Lulú cartoon show too!

I have a friend who looks like Lulú, but she's really tall and broad, so people call her big Lulú

first of all, bummer for big lulú! Secondly, I don't think we got the cartoon in the states. I certainly wouldn't have watched it, as I didn't even read the cartoon! It always looked really boring!

We do the same here. "Clube da Luluzinha" and "clube do Bolinha". It's funny you're so surprised!

just kidding. I don't know how I was supposed to have known this before!
