Midge, this is a very, very, very fine house. (And not only because of the Brokeback Mountain prints on the walls.) You put my house-building skills to shame!

DL: Now that you mention it, he kinda looks like an ex of mine, too!

Wow! How do you get your faces to be so expressive? Great job!

Thanks, Innocent! The slim bodybuilder needs a little style, too!

It's a banner day for the slim body builder! Thanks for giving him more to wear!

Little-known fact about lucha libre -- the names of these masked wrestlers are often passed down from generation to generation. Rey Misterio, a popular wrestler in the U.S., started his career as Rey Misterio Jr. He was trained by his uncle, Rey Misterio Sr.

This is Espectro, whose stage name translates as “The Specter.” It’s the same name his father used to use when he was in the ring more than 20 years ago. He’s known for his flamboyant style, especially his turquoise cape he wears when entering the arena. But in matches he means business.

Here he is in that famous cape, giving another wrestler a high five as he makes his entrance.



I told you he means business! He knocked this guy out cold.



Here he is taking a break behind the arena after the match. He likes greeting his fans --especially the ladies.



The great mesh is the bodybuilder by Marvine and Beosboxboy. You can get it here. The skintone by Louis at Simscribbling, modified for the bodybuilder by our own wirelessguy. (All I did was add a tattoo.) The original, and a whole lot more, can be found here. The tossled hair is by tlkaska at the Sims Resource. The rest are by the talented folks listed below. Thanks, everyone!

The wrestling outfits are by me, with a lot of help. The singlets started out as the hotpants by Beosboxboy found here. The boots are by SynapticSim, who let me use the ones he adapted from the Maxis original. All his work is here. Thanks to ~*M’Lady*~, who let me fool around with her Blue Beetle mask found here.

General Zoi’s superhero cape is not included, but can be downloaded here.

Important note: The download is in two parts. The first is the sim in his wrestling outfit, and the second is the mask. The mask comes in two parts, the face is under costume makeup, and the top and sides are under hair.

Lucha Libre! If you like Espectro, try El Fénix!

Sexy satyr!

This praise means a lot coming from you guys. Making the mask and singlet took a ridiculous amount of time, as I hadn't skinned anything before. Anyway, there's a couple of more wrestlers coming your way!

Such an expressive face! Great job!

Wow! Look at those bedroom eyes!

In Mexico, every town is plastered with posters for lucha libre -- literally meaning “free fight.” These free-for-all wrestling matches aren’t for the timid. These battles between masked men almost always end up spilling into the audience, where chairs go flying and spectators run for cover.

The luchadores often don’t reveal their real names, preferring to use stages names like the Blue Demon or Man of a Thousand Masks. El Santo, one of the most renowned wrestlers, ended up being buried in his mask.

I thought I’d introduce you to a few of the men whose masked faces are on the posters in my sim town:

This is El Fénix, meaning “The Phoenix.” (He did rise from the ashes, coming back as this character after being unmasked in his final bout as El Matador.) The crowds call this young man Flaco -- meaning “Slim” -- because he lacks the girth of most wrestlers. But he’s wiry and strong, and more often than not wins out over bigger opponents.  And his tattoo, the sacred heart, has won more than a few hearts of the ladies.

Here is El Fénix during a match. His mask is red, white, and green, the colors of the Mexican flag.
 


El Fénix is know for flashy moves, like this flying leap off the ropes.



Hey, get that camera out of the locker room! I don't have my mask on!



So many people to thank! The incredibly realistic skintone by jwilson5, which I modified slightly by adding the tattoo. The original, and a whole lot more, can be found here. The mesh is the slimmer bodybuilder by Marvine and Beosboxboy. You can get it here.

The hair by Bakalia is here. The rap beard by Schnuddle is here. Eyes and lips are by Helaene here.

The wrestling outfits are by me, with a lot of help. The singlets started out the hotpants by Beosboxboy found here. The boots were a gift from our own SynapticSim, who graciously let me use the ones he adapted from the Maxis original. His fantastic body of work is here. I am in awe of his work!

Last, but not least, to ~*M’Lady*~, who encouraged me to use her Blue Beetle mask found here. I figured out how to make these masks by examining her original. Thanks so much!

Important Note: The download is in two parts. The first is the sim in his wrestling outfit, and the second is his mask. The mask comes in two parts, the face is under costume makeup, and the top and sides are under hair.

Lucha Libre! If you like El Fénix, take a look at Espectro!

Damn! He is fine!

Nice job! Very sweet!

Wow, this is exactly what we need! And it looks great in the game. Thanks, Kavar!

Keep your fingers crossed for me -- a magazine wants me to go to Panama. We'll see if it works out. **Wonders how he'll make a sim-sized Panama Canal**
