In Spanglish Border Culture a CREAMER is a person that is a Mexican National going to High School on the American side of the border to learn or perfect their English. These students generally are the children of the governor or cousin of a major head of a corporation in Mexico and they want the best education for their kids.
They are called creamers because of the excessive lotion that supposedly they use on their face. Creamers have a clean aspect to them, and are clean cut Mexicans who are wealthy enough to have their mom's drive them across the border every day to attend school in either San Diego or Calexico (basically the US.) Chicanos born and raised on the American side tend to be jealous of Creamers because they often are the rich elite and wealthy kids of Mexico that are better educated and speak better spanish than Spanglish speaking Mexican Americans native to the US.
The word creamer implies wealth privilege and that they are the cream of the Mexican crop so to speak. In spanish the word Cremita indicates these same people but when these kids cross the border Chicanos call them creamers while they're in the US.

In Spanglish, Chicano, or Mexican American Slang, women who are Mexican American or dark complected that tend to put on a lot of make up to hide the fact that they are Mexican. They tend to over do the lighter complected make up to the point where it looks caked on.
Above that, Cha Cha's are lower in the hierarchy as Cholas in the Chicano Gang Culture of Los Angeles, California. Basically, it is a modern Malinche behavior that betrays his/her own Mesoamerican roots by trying to "cover up" their true identity.
Women that lose sight of what they really look like to the rest of the world and over do it with Make up.
Cha Cha's can be compared to the "Jersey Girl look" from the Bon-Jovi days of the 80's but add to that the fact that she's a Latina who cakes on the make up to look white.
