Mexican wrestling

I am kind of obsessed with Mexican wrestling (though have actually never been to a fight and there aren't any happening here). I am more interested in the whole visual iconography of it all. It's so flamboyant and over-the-top and so very, very un-British. Like most things in Mexico, all the costumes are incredible colours and bright and vivid. To support this passion of mine, I bought some wrestling masks today. I have no idea what I am going to do with them when I am home (nothing freaky that's for sure). Perhaps I will have to find some kind of foam mannequin head to display them on. That, or just get my house-mate Alice to wear it for fun! Classy huh?
