Lucha Libre Masks
In Mexico there is a sport called "Lucha Libre", translated as "Free Style Wrestling".
Don't ever think to say a fan or a member of this sport that it is only a show, or you will end up minimum at a nasty word fight, or they can make you a wrestling maneuver, like the "Hurracarrana (the hurricane throw)" or the "Candado Triple Inverso (reverse triple lock hold)"
Some of the wrestlers use mask, to hide their identity or to create a more colorful and attractive character while on the ring. Some mask are really elaborated, and so are the rest of the costumes.
Lots of colors.
A long time ago, wrestlers even became movie stars. The was the "Blue demon" who made movies in which he fought criminals. And there was "El SAnto" who fighted against vampire ladies, and mommies. I found those Santo movies entertaining. Strange since actually I don't like lucha libre.
Just a colorful thing of my country.
