Love Is
Love Is
Love is a syndicated comic strip that appeared daily in the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times. It all started with shy little love notes from Kim Casali to her future husband, Roberto. Each of these little notes involved a small drawing and a personal sentiment that perfectly captured Kim’s thoughts for the man she loved. She would hide these little drawings where he would least expect them, sometimes tucked in a pocket or popped under his pillow, and also send them to him whenever they were apart.
“Love is a precious and delicate thing. Those who are loved should be honoured and those who can love are gifted.”
- Kim

Legends Of Lucha Libre's
A Brief History of Lucha Libre!
The history of Lucha Libre is intertwined with the history of Mexico, mass media, and entertainment in general. Its following in Mexico has made it the most popular sport after soccer in a country of 100 million people, and an integral part of pop culture. There are dozens of events weekly and they take place 7 nights a week throughout the country. In 1929, Salvador Lutteroth González, was working in the United States where he began attending professional wrestling matches in El Paso, Texas. It was there that he became fascinated with the sport, especially the colorful personalities of the wrestlers, and decided to bring the sport to his home country of Mexico.
In 1933, together with partner Francisco Ahumada, González founded the Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL) in Mexico City. After being turned down by larger arenas, the EMLL presented its first card in Arena Modelo, which had previously been scheduled for demolition, and had already been partially dismantled. The 5,000 seat arena became the first home of modern lucha libre, and within a year, the EMLL was selling out events and looking for larger venues.
A survey conducted by a Mexico based newspaper found that in a nation of 100 million people, 90% of all Mexicans could identify two of the most adored and revered iconic images in their country’s history: The beloved “Virgin of Guadalupe” and the silver mask of luchador El Santo.
In the early-90s, lucha exploded in the United States and by the mid-90s, both Vince McMahon’s WWF and Ted Turner’s WCW had capitalized on the extremely colorful and highly acrobatic form of the entertainment which they promoted.
