Spanish TV’s top-rated talk show El Show de Cristina features the Chonga Girls as they launch their blog and announce TV appearances

MIAMI, FL. January 21, 2009 – It’s an exciting new moment for Hispanic-American culture and a new generation of bicultural celebrities is bringing fun and creativity to music, TV, fashion and the Internet.

At the forefront are the 19-year-old actresses/writers Mimi Dávila and Laura Di Lorenzo, aka the Chonga Girls, who in the last 18 months have gone from YouTube sensations with over 4.5 million views to nationwide popularizers of the youthful Latina chonga lifestyle.

Now, El Show de Cristina, Spanish TV’s No. 1 talk show with 4 million viewers in the U.S. alone, is featuring the Chonga Girls. Titled “Llegaron Las Chongas” (The Chongas are Here), this one-hour episode of Cristina airs at 10 p.m. ET, Monday, January 26, on Univisión.

Co-hosted by Cuban-American sensation, rapper Pitbull, this episode features the girls cataloguing the chonga outlook on life, singing their viral online hit “Chongalicious,” and announcing upcoming projects. Viewers will also get to see how, thanks to the Chonga Girls, chonga fashion and lingo have caught fire, spreading from South Florida to cities across the United States.

The Chonga Girls are more than just lucky YouTube stars. They’re bicultural talents and standout students who’ve used their intellectual and creative gifts to spotlight a culture that’s been hiding in plain sight.

As the Chonga Girls introduce themselves to millions of new viewers on El Show de Cristina, they’re launching a blog at www.thechongagirls.com that showcases their acerbically funny chonga take on pop culture and their never-boring lives. Plus, they’ll be appearing in comedy sketches on MTV Tr3s as the Chonga Girls and other characters.

Teaming up with the Chonga Girls on all their multimedia endeavors is the management team at UNO Entertainment.

The Chonga Girls are back as they create a lifestyle around chonga culture

MIAMI, FL October 20, 2008 – They’re still in their late teens, but actresses/writers Mimi Dávila and Laura Di Lorenzo, aka The Chonga Girls,are highlighting and spearheading a burgeoning Hispanic-American cultural movement.

They’re a YouTubesensation but by no means a fluke. The Chonga Girls are talented and witty writers, actresses and comedians. They have an insider’s fluency with youth and Hispanic-American culture, and they celebrate and poke fun at their surroundings in a way that brings everyone together.

Their perceptiveness and wit are at the heart of Chongalicious’ YouTube success – 4 million views and counting. A parody of “Fergalicious” that lovingly sends up teenage chongas, who are ubiquitous at suburban malls in cities like Miami and New York, Chongalicious turned Mimi and Laura into celebrities in Spring 2007, towards the end of their junior year in high school.

In the video, Mimi and Laura play their parts as sexy, sarcastic chongas to the hilt.

Underneath the inspired silliness, Chongalicious dovetails perfectly with Mimi and Laura’s passion – writing and acting. Both were high-achieving students at Dr. Michael Krop Senior High, a performing-arts magnet school. In fact, at the end of her senior year, Mimi received one of the nation’s top honors for high school students – she received the Silver Knight Award for Drama.

Now freshmen in college, Mimi and Laura are continuing to define and expand the chonga brand. A culture that was hiding in plain sight, chonga culture is now in the limelight, with Mimi and Laura conceptualizing and creating the complete chonga lifestyle, from fashion to music to video to the web.

For their next act, The Chonga Girls signed an exclusive management deal with UNO ENTERTAINMENT, a company that draws on a wealth of major-TV network and major-label experience to help its artists excel in the technologically driven entertainment industry of the 2000s.

Guided by their management team The Chonga Girls will be launching a number of new endeavors.

Their plans include unveiling a line of essential beauty products and accessories, created with the chonga in mind, at their soon-to-be launched website, www.thechongagirls.com.

In an upcoming episode of the flagship Univisión talk show Cristina, Mimi and Laura will perform “Chongalicious”live, give an audience member a chonga makeover, and discuss their new projects. Focusing on the chonga lifestyle, theepisode features real-life chongas that are being flown in to Univision’s Miami studio from cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.

Not only will the girls be co-starring in the half-hour television series MESH Academy about the travails of performing-arts high school students, but they’re also creating their own comedy show, tentatively titled The Chonga Girls Chronicles.

The original Chongalicious was homemade, but now they’re heading into the recording and production studio for a new song and videothat boast state-of-the-art beats and production. Teaming with top hip-hop musicians and producers, the girls plan to release the new song and video in December.

A lot of interesting things happen in your life when you’re 19, bilingual, and hot. So in addition to their website, The Chonga Girls will contribute their never-boring observations to their own blog, featured in the Celebrity Blog section of UNO’s soon-to-be-launched social network, UNONE.

The Chonga Girls are back, bigger and badder than ever!
