Wet T-shirt contests

Post by ParaDime77 »

Of course board rules are in play here as to not post any pictures.

Whatever happened to wet T-shirt contests in when was the last time you saw one in person? I remember this being a big thing back in the day. I think the last one I saw was in Mexico around 1999. I figured this board would be a good place to start a knowledge base.

You live in North Dakota, where they have parka contests in the winter.

They still have them in Vegas and the surrounding area... Mr. D's on Wednesdays, Loser's Lounge in Laughlin on Thursdays, and other random events that pop up.

There are 10x as many bikini contests, and most people just prefer nudity, where you can see everywhere, so wet t-shirts are a little tame and 90s nostalgia.

You just have to get out of the frozen tundra.

From personal experience?

I went on Spring Break to Florida for a few years, and it was interesting to see nervous drunk coeds lose their inhibitions (and their tops).

Then the local strippers found out how much some places paid for winning, started crashing contests, and it kinda lost its appeal.

All of this is exciting for sure... when you are between 18 and 25.

But... like most things in life... including worshiping bands, going to concerts, going out to bars, parties, etc... it ALL is exciting for a period... then it wears off!

After turning 40, kids come into play, going to bed at 9:00pm, waking up by before the sun-rise, etc...

Who gives a F#@k about stupid sh!t like this? Only the young.

I was up in Seattle recently visiting and my son INSISTED I go see Excision at the Tacoma Dome (some rave type situation)

No wet t-shirt needed at these shows, girls walking around in lingerie leaving little to the imagination

Of course I felt like a creeper - but I was with my son, and if you are showing I am looking!!

The sound system could easily double as an electronic warfare system, you can literally move things with it, crazy shit!!

For wet t-shirts I have to hop in the waaayback machine - SeaFair is/was a HUGE floating party in Seattle that involved hydroplanes, tens of thousands of people, and heavy partying.

I remember one year some girls playing frisbee in thin white t-shirts in the water, total see-through, nice!!!

If I was still a college kid in the mid-80s, there might be appeal. At my age between free porn and free sex, it seems like amateur hour. My 2 cents.
