exóTico
In lucha libre, an exótico is a luchador (male wrestler) fighting/performing in drag. The exótico's movement vocabulary is campy, often silly, and seldom dignified.: 152 Exóticos are male wrestlers who appropriate feminine aspects in their wrestling personas or "gimmicks" – through feminine costumes, for example, "contesting the dramatic representation of machismo" and successfully unmanning their opponents in the ring while also "rejecting the outward signs of manhood".: 195 Though exoticos may not necessarily be gay, they often are, and their sexual ambiguity is undeniable. Attired with feather boas, headdresses, sequins or stockings, they defy a religious Latin culture that is ardently macho.: 57
