BOBBLE TIKI: LIKES IT WET >>>

Of all the things Bobble Tiki has seen in his life, an over 50 wet T-shirt contest is not one of them. Perhaps Bobble Tiki has simply never been a the right place at the right time, or perhaps over 50 wet T-shirt contests simply don’t happen that often.

While Bobble Tiki expects livestock, elephant ears and ShamWows from the Puyallup Spring Fair, he doesn’t expect wet T-shirt contests designed for women over 50. In fact, Bobble Tiki never expects a wet T-shirt contest for women over 50.

Thanks to the Red Hat Society, a 10-year-old organization with a mission of connecting “like-minded women around the world and to encourage them to have fun together.  We are a vivacious society of women who celebrate life.  Along the way, we develop strong bonds and caring friendships â€" at the same time raising the respect and visibility of women who are entering their next stage in life,” this year’s Puyallup Spring Fair will mark Bobble Tiki’s first ever chance to catch a wet T-shirt contest for women “entering their next stage of life.”

But hold your horses. This isn’t the type of wet T-shirt contest you’re accustomed to. The members of the Red Hat Society, referred to as Red Hatters, are known for wearing red hats, purple dresses, and celebrating all that is frivolous and fun about being an aging women. Apparently, at least in Bobble Tiki’s observation, many women do such things before dying. Men, on the other hand, simply start peeing a whole bunch and wearing their pants at belly button level. Bobble Tiki thinks women are on to something.

The Red Hatter wet T-shirt contest, which will happen Friday morning at the Puyallup Spring Fair, is designed to see which Red Hatter has the best arm â€" not best rack. Soaking wet T-shirts will be on hand for Red Hatters to throw, and prizes will be awarded to those who throw them the farthest. The Red Hatter wet T-shirt contest will happen at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, near the Garden Show Stage.

Hot damn. Oh the frivolity.
