Boobs Rule!  Let's help keep them healthy!!!

Only at a Ren Faire (or on a Ren Forum) can you get away with a statement like that. 

Jon.

[Margaret]

True enough Jon, true enough.   

Although, on FaceBook my friend celebrates Yay For Boobies Friday.  Because why?  Because yet once again, boobs rule!

Calling all female Pirates and Wenches for this weekend's "Drench a Wench" charity show on the castle lawn!!
Be ye a willin participant? Please!!

We be needin water bearers, sponge wringers & runners, hawkers and 'targets'
Meet us at 2pm on the Castle Lawn outside of HRM Castle – next to the castle garden I assume and very close to our beloved courtesans.

Definitions:
Water bearers – fill the buckets via the spigot and bring them to us
Sponge Wringers – wring the sponges
Sponge Runners – retrieve the sponges once they've been thrown at the targets
Hawkers – announce the show and attempt to give us an audience and potential contributors without detracting from other performances
Targets – sit on a bench, wait to get hit with a sponge and then thank the contributor

FYI on Targets:
Targets need to be in appropriate garb - defined as viable 600- 1600 renaissance themed garb with a top covering, bottom covering, shoes, and appropriate undergarments.
Note white chemises must be covered with vest, jacket, bodice, etc. – this is not a wet t-shirt contest.
Targets must be 18 and older and have lipstick.
General FYI:
Those under 18 or those not able or willing to get wet can be water bearers, sponge wringers, sponge runner, & hawkers

How it works:
Lasses to line up as luverly 'targets' while contributors donate $1 to receive 3 sponges to throw at the aforementioned targets.
Whomever is hit by sponges approach the contributor and render a "thank you" gesture in the form of a kiss (this is where the lipstick comes in)on the cheek, handshake, or hug.
Targets arrive at 2pm
Contributors arrive at 2:15pm
