There is this great show here in LA called Lucha Vavoom, which is a mix of Mexican wrestling, comedy, and burlesque striptease. It happens several times a year at the great Mayan Theater in downtown LA. Rosemary and I went to see it the other night, and it was a a lot of fun! It was clearly a standard gathering spot for the hip 50's retro/psychobilly crowd, and other scenesters; there were several comedians acting as MCs and commentators during the matches, some fun striptease acts using female, male, and transgender dancers, and above all, 5 great wrestling matches with people with names like Dirty Sanchez, Mini-Chicken, and the Poubelle Twins. It was all there - the good guys, the bad guys, the all-girl battle royale, the crazy tag teams, the blatant cheating, the incompetent referees with slow counts, the audience taunting the wrestlers, wrestlers getting thrown in the audience, and much, much more! Nothing like a good dose of theatrical sex and violence to relax one after a week of hard work! Lucha vavoom!!
