Regrettably I was unable to attend this glorious event. The Bruce Wray Memorial Hawaiian Shirt Invitational Competition was held a few weeks ago and FINALLY we at VFH central got a picture to share with all those who follow this blog. You may say that this all old news that the team should have moved on to another subject, like Tiki Bars or tubing on the Delaware, or anything else, but when a competition involves such frightening displays of color and bravery by the souls who wear them, it is our duty to honor them with this picture.
The reason there was such a long delay between the event and this photograph was the judges' ruling about the leopard skin stripes on the one shirt and whether or not this qualified as an Aloha or Hawaiian Shirt. The fellow was finally awarded his lei because the shirt, while stretching the rules, was particularly hideous. The picture was finally released by the BWMHSIC Committee after much quibbling and a number of Mai Tais.
Congratulations to the winners. Somewhere Bruce Wray is sipping his own drink and chuckling lowly.
