8th Annual Ugly Shirt Costume Contest!
Who has the ugliest shirt or outfit, and dares to wear it night!
RoyAl MascotRoyAl (seen here, our bare-footed Monarch) is the Figurehead for our Fifth Annual Ugly Shirt Costume Contest! RoyAl (aka: RegAl, EmperAl, ImperiAl, Awl (short for Owl) or Al Falster) was crowned as such at our first Workshop and will rein as our Ugly Shirt Monarch for many years to come. As your Monarch, he has commanded you to find and wear the Ugliest Shirt or Outfit you own and join in the fun on Tuesday Night, June 2, at 7:30 PM. And as a Winner, you could walk home with some Fabulous and/or crappy prizes.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! A Message of Importance!
His Majesty RoyAl, the MinerAl Monarch of Maine, Decrees:
Dear Subjects,
Don't be fooled into thinking that ye won't be in the Contest by simply wearing just a t-shirt or a plain white shirt! All my subjects will be in this contest and judged on what they are wearing! So ye might as well find that Ugly Shirt or Outfit in the attic and make sure ye bring it along and wear it for this evening! After all, as your King, I can bother ye, hassle & vex thee, anytime I want too during the week if ye don't wear something funky, an appropriate garment befitting your station! This is not the time to be professional or cultured, or think ye can hide in the back of the Great Hall of The Ugly! My RoyAl Command therefore, is that thee make a fool out of ye self, be as ridiculous as thee can be, and have some fun with everyone at the same time!

Your Gracious and Benevolent Sovereign King,
RoyAl

The Ugly Shirt Costume Contest Winner of 2008

Mark

The Ugly Shirt Costume Contest winner of 2008 was this handsome little number representing the State of Michigan, showing off his well deserved prizes and his 1st Place Championship Belt!!! It is unfortunate that you can't see his high-water pants and white (?) socks, none of which matched anything else in his outfit ... but that is what makes him our Champion ... his outfit was dropped dead ugly! We never figured out though if that was a hat, or a Birthday cake ... either way, it suited his ensemble perfectly! Ladies, he is available and your Mom will love him!!!!

We congratulate Mark for his winning outfit and his glorious acceptance speech upon the presentation of his prizes. It is without doubt, one of the Ugliest things the audience had ever seen. Well done, Mark!

PS: Those are not his abdominal muscles showing through his dress - Shawn-Boy is a little pudgy under there, and his girdle wasn't controlling it too well!

Skip - The Model For Us All

Future Registrants, this is an example of the gold standard that you must battle against at this Contest. Although not allowed to compete in the Ugly Shirt Costume Contest anymore - because he won all of the time - this is the level of attire and/or costume you must aspire to! His simple everyday shirt and pants are always this fashionable, but may we suggest next time a pair of Harry Potter's glasses to complete the look! And indeed, yes, the shift qualifies as a shirt, even though it is a dress. The matching purse and jewelry just adds to the atmosphere of class displayed by this exalted leader of leaders. He did need help with his makeup for this evening - he's never dressed so formally before - but Ms. Karen did a fabulous job, especially with the mascara.

We noted there was no belt or sash with this gorgeous gown! The rumor floating around was that he couldn't find one big enough that matched. But when asked by this reporter, he was quoted as saying, "I just love those cool breezes wafting up my shirt, so I left the belt at home!" Hmmmmm?

And did we mention-
his footwear and handbag are to die for!

Additional 2008 Winners

A Collection of Ugliness

We were fortunate to have many excellent Ugly runner-up winners in 2008, but we never found out the second place winner's name ... he/she/or it is the one with the blue hair and all white outfit!!! None of us could understand what he/she/or it said, so we tried playing the CD ear rings in our computer ... but it was all gibberish or ugly music, so no clues there!!! If anyone knows who this is, let us know!!! Maybe from the Ugly Planet of Spsin? We haven't a clue, but boy was he/she/or it Ugly! Two clues that might help: Big Feet and Big CD's.

The Judges were very kind to these winners and they were warmly received by the crowd that evening. We were all glad that they at least had a little bit of modesty though. Kudos to you all!

And did I mention the one in the middle with the hat is a babe!
