Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

Bullfighting in a dinner jacket and bow tie?

I've seen photos before of bullfighters performing in clothes other than the traditional suit of lights. But this is the first time I've seen someone in a black suit and tie worthy of the Oscars.

Enrique ponce performed this way in Istres, France just the other day, June 19th, 2016.

He even pardoned a bull from the Nunez del Cuvillo ranch. It must have been some night.
