i want to be like ray misterio

Desiree Good

Lucha Libre is a folk sport from Bolivia and is staged and choreographed. Female Lucha Libre fighters are called Cholitas, and their traditional costumes embody the indigenous woman. Most fighters come from families with a Lucha Libre tradition. I find it fascinating how Lucha Libre, as a cultural movement, has become part of a social system. Work in progress since 2012.
