¡Mucha Lucha! Masks
Remember the bootleg Mucha Lucha masks from last year? You may also remember these very legitimate Halloween costumes (which we would rather forget). The ones you’re looking at here are somethin’ else. They are authentic, kid-size wrestling masks, custom-made by the amazing Juan Guerrero for our personal collection, and not for sale.
The Flea (black and yellow version), Rikochet & Buena GirlJuan’s workmanship is truly fantastic and we hope that one day soon, these Mucha Lucha masks (made from soft lycra and vinyl) will be available for kids and fans of the show to enjoy. Below, some gems from the Lucha Guerrero store:

99 Cents!
This rainy afternoon, we paid a visit to our local 99 Cent store for the first time ever. What can we say – We felt like we’d been ripped off all our lives!!! From the outside, the merchandise had always seemed uninvitingly cheap and dodgy. Brand names you’d never heard of.
But besides the interesting crap like ceramic plates with images of biblical heroes on them (for 99c each!), who knew you could get so many basic necessities here? Household cleaning products, wall hooks, kitchen utensils, snack food. 99 cents for a bag of lemons … or a tire pressure gauge… or even Tylenol… We’re not going back to Target. The 99 Cent Store is awesome!!!
p.s. What makes brand name products like Tylenol cheaper in 99 Cent stores? Are they safe??

“Operation Penny Pinch is a personal challenge upon ourselves (chiffonade and typefiend); a sociological, and physiological experiment of sorts to see how we fare relying completely upon the merchandise of the 99 Cents Only Stores for the duration of one month (4 weeks, 28 days)…”

99 Cent store products (the strangely branded ones) are most often made by major manufacturers with excess production capacity. Rather than shutter their factories, they contract to produce goods for cost, or even below cost, just to keep things humming until needs pick up. The owner of the store tried 98 cents, one dollar, 97 cents, etc. no number had the magic of 99! He’s a modest, fun-loving guy who still lives in the house he moved into the nineteen-fifties with the wife he married then.
hi sputnikjim – thanks for the info! pretty cool stuff about the 99 cent guy
