Is there voting for the most WTF worthy headline of the year?

is Fantasy Fest worth the hassle?

I've always been intrigued, but it looks like a lot of effort.

*shrug* Fantasy Fest happens every year. I barely think it's newsworthy.

I read it as Kanye West and was confused.

I was there in the "lost in the 60's themed fantasy fest when I was 18. I was practically mugged by people trying to sell me drinks. I hear they cut down on the public nudity tho.

I live in Atlanta, and I've always wondered about what goes on down there...

Oh, yeah! But they're going to get in trouble with PETA for one with the pig with the lipstick.

It's funny to me that the "Redneck Riviera" is so closely situated to the Mecca of homosexuals/cubans/illegals...


What do you think?

Key West Fantasy Fest ends today, Oct. 26.

Useful link: Link (new window)

OTHER HELPFUL STUFF: Go to google and key in Key West Fantasy Fest and that will yield all sorts of borderline-nsfw pics of chicks wearing nothing but body paint.

You gotta look close, but they're nekkid.

I appreciate this site's refusal to "dumb down" their reporting with images. This way, I get to make up everything that happened, imagining the oiled, buff young men in thrift-store Ferragamo knock-offs, their ripe, swollen gonads almost bursting out of their frilly silken underthings as they wobble unsteadily on five inch acrylic heels while gently cradling a Cabbage patch kid and calling the United States Senator from Illinois a "cammunist" while waving flags and throwing bibles at the Russian neighbors; naked liberals with a BMI of 911 getting tagged by local youths in the "body painting" booth; and all those pig owners telling everyone who will listen that they only put make-up on the pig for a laugh and the erection was just a coincidence.

America's wang, indeed.

huh?? The R.R. is WAAAY up North in Panamal City/Destin area. Key West is over 500-600 Miles away (south)!

I'll be in Key West on Nov. 5th, so I'm really getting a kick out of these responses.

Where is the Florida tag?

Fantasy Fest is the largest parade of painted middle-aged naked people you'll find anywhere on earth.

And son, you don't know fun until you've done an old lady between the belly fat rolls in the corner of the pool room at Captain Tony's.

There are dozens and dozens and dozens of pictures on Flickr. I'm not doing your work for you.

Well well well! A GIS to catch up on FF has some surprises. I found someone I know.. and they are as great as I imagined. I really need to get my ass down there next time.

Awesome, I'm not the only one who read that as Kanye West.

Honestly, Key West has the greatest, most fun loving gheys out there. Viva la conch.

 
particle accelerator 2008-10-26 07:04:00 PM  
Been there twice, I guess its like mardi gras only smaller. Great for drinking heavily, painted naked women and weirdo costumes. Reserve a hotel room early in advance, sleep in your car and weirdos will be stalking your car all night. oh, and if you pee outside they will probably be watching you do that too.

I'm not sure the pictures would have helped that image very much.

Oops. I really thought it was a halloween thing.
Okay, so I was wrong. Of course, I'm just taking your word for it.

Ya need to work up a little more enthusiasm for life before you get into stuff like this...

Best you pass on it for now.

Not quite. Was there a few days ago before things got too crazy. It's always nice eating at a fine dining establishment with a completely naked woman sitting at the table next to you. Lots of fun on the streets too.

That's good to hear. Rumor had it that the rich people that could afford to move there started to put up a fuss. I used to live in Florida and Key West was the best thing about it.
