Lucha Libre | Mexican Wrestling in the streets of South Park, Wash.

Rule #58674635: If something comes up after your shift and you feel too pooped to get yourself there, you should go. Naturally, it will turn out to be the best thing you photographed all day (or all month, for that matter). An impromptu Mexican wrestling event - complete with a legit ring in the center of an intersection - was my most recent reminder of this. Enjoy the glistening, shaven flesh.
