Description


The Touloulou is the queen of the carnival. It is a lady elegantly dressed from head to toe. They are normally women without an ounce of skin showing. She wears a petticoat, a balaclava, a Domino mask and long gloves. In order not to be recognized, women go so far as to put colored lenses, wigs and camouflage their voices.[1] They do not wear their usual perfume, buy pairs of shoes for the occasion that they will not return and do not move with their vehicle to remain anonymous.
They parade in the street and participate in masked balls.


There is also a men's suit called Tololo.


In the nightclubs, renamed occasionally "universities", it is the touloulous who invite men to dance. They can not refuse.



Origin


This typical figure of Guianan Creole culture represents the bourgeois women of the 19th-century, in their Sunday best, dressed in their heads to the feet.
