Buchona

A colloquial term used in Mexico to refer to women of low social status who are, or aspire to be, mob wives. Buchonas tend to be very gaudy in appearance. Their long hair is always dyed either a cheap jet-black or a cheap, brassy "blonde". Their make up is heavy with thick, drawn-in eyebrows, bright rouge/blush, pale foundation, and red lips. Their bodies are heavily surgically modified and they love wearing long, acrylic, rhine-stone covered nails in hopes of attracting buchón men. They tend to drive around in large trucks or SUVs with tinted windows blaring banda or corridos, an awful musical genre that seems to appeal to the working classes and the flashy, new money crowds of questionable incomes. These women usually come from the northern Mexican state of Sinaloa but can, unfortunately, be found throughout the entire country and in certain parts of the United States.
