The Gorgeous lady of wrestling

http://www.sdcitybeat.com/sandiego/article-9445-the-gorgeous-lady-of-wrestling.htmlEntering the men's locker room in San Ysidro's Border View YMCA on a Friday night, Ruby Gardenia draws all sorts of catcalls.
"Mamacita!" shouts one wrestler, pulling up his neon-fringed spandex pants, while another screams, "You, I would marry," prompting laughter from people sitting near him.
These are all-too-familiar reactions for Gardenia, whose given name is Fernando Covarrubias. He's dressed in simple black slacks, a midnight-blue polo shirt and work boots.
