Once on stage, a drag queen named 'Alma Jean' makes each guy stand in a baby pool and bend over while she poured water onto the tighty-whiteys. Although the contest was called a 'Wet Jockey Shorts Contest,' contestants wear tighty-whiteys. Models find the all-you-can-drink cocktails prior to the contest helps them generate the courage to stagger up on stage. Male models brave enough to enter the contest are motivated by the cash prizes. Interview magazine described The Copa as 'the majorest gay/straight dance club in town.' Whenever Campus Men has taken male models to Key West for photo shoots, some found themselves seeking prize money on the stage of The Copa for its Wednesday night wet underwear contest. However, contests involving males are usually held at gay night clubs, not straight bars. Kelly won a Clearwater night club's 'Best Teddy' contest during her visit to Florida. A female model who was part of our photographer's previous week photo shoot won a 'best chest' contest at Rick's Bar.
Sometimes raunchy, but always hilarious, female wet t-shirt contests are commonplace at Key West bars such as Dirty Harry's and Sloppy Joe's.
