People today don’t remember Santo’s then legendary feud with Mick Jagger after the latter slept with the wrestler’s girlfriend. Ironically, Jagger and El Santo are both widely considered to be inspirations for Carly Simon’s You’re So Vain.

    Well, I expect if anyone messed around with Señora Santo he’d end up a corpse but thats afterward- not beforehand.

    Can we talk about that first picture, specifically Señora Santo. Does she have a single breast in the middle of her chest? What’s going on there?

    I dunno, the more I look at it the more confused I am…

    I admit on a closer examination of the second painting El Santo’s ‘WTH’ expression makes me giggle.

    With the third and I’m wondering how they explained what they were aiming to do to the wrestler.

    El Santo: ‘You want me to lie on the carpet and you’re going to WHAT?!?!’

    Yeah, that one’s almost as bad as the Italian movie poster for one of the ‘Jungle Jim’ movies we saw here a few years ago. The one with Weismuller and the dinosaur that was, ahem, atop him.

    And how the heck does a skeleton still have such a flowing mane anyway?

    It can happen. They found a bog body like that. The flesh was gone, but the splendid red curly hair was intact.

    Yikes! That has to be pretty creepy.

    Yes. I remember reading about that some years ago in a book on Bronze Age Scandinavia.

    Heck, I’ve read about a female bog mummy that had the hair and skin intact, but the flesh and internal organs had dissolved. She sort of looked like like a hollowed out ‘woman suit’.
