Pachuco refers to a particular old school subculture of Mexican-American and Latino Americans associated with zoot suits, street gangs, nightlife, and flamboyant public behavior. The idea of the pachuco – a zoot-suited, well-dressed, street-connected flamboyant playboy of Hispanic/Latino heritage – originated in El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, had moved north, following the line of migration of Mexican railroad workers ("traqueros") into Los Angeles, where it developed further.
A pachuca is the female counterpart, often idealized as a beautiful Latina/Hispanic woman in extravagant evening dress or a female version of the zoot suit, out with a pachuco boyfriend for a night on the town. Pachucas broke taboos of their time by wearing men's-style pants sometimes and appearing in public often with their pachuco boyfriends; at the time, a "good woman" was considered to have her place in the home. They defied male/female stereotypes and roles in Mexican-American culture in much the same way flappers had in European-American culture in the 1920s.

Highlights from Sergio Leal's 1940's Zoot Suit Themed Salsa and Swing Party hosted by Latin Dance Pro last week at Ixtapa Tropical Tuesdays in Old Town Pasadena. I had an amazing time! Thank you all for coming out and making by special day memorable! Each year is different, but I must say that I think this year topped last years, with more Salsa dancers, and in my opinion, more people dressed in vintage themed costumes! All my friends and family dressed in Zoot Suit and sailor attire. My dance team charmed the audience with a Zoot Suit Riot Lindy Jazz routine. Despite the sunny weather, the weather at night was so perfect that we decided to take the party outside. Dancing Salsa on Colorado Blvd in front of the Chambers of Commerce Building nextdoor to Ixtapa. Everyone looked hot!! My birth...
