Before this trip I had met a few Hedo virgins on-line. We all looked forward to meeting each other in the "flesh" at Hedo during this trip. I met with one couple, Jen and Randy from New York, before the trip. During the week I also met Scott (a.k.a. Scrub) from Michigan, Randy and Nancy from Toledo, and Lloyd and Angela from Houston.
I think the highlight of this trip was the infamous trial on the nude beach. As usual the Bubbly Bares took up residence on the nude beach near Delroy's. Every year they hang their banners between two huge trees at that end of the beach, and the chaise lounges are draped with their signature red BB towels.
This year someone had the audacity to steal the BB banners!!! The Bares were in an uproar and decided to indict, try, and convict their primary suspect in Nude Court. A jury was selected, attorneys assigned, and the trial proceeded. It was the funniest thing I ever witnessed at Hedo. Everyone in court was naked except the judge, who wore a woman's black robe backwards on the stand. Needless to say, the poor suspect never had a chance of winning. He was convicted and sentenced.
It wasn't until after the trip was over that the Bares discovered who the true culprits were. A group calling themselves the Pirates of the Caribbean claimed responsibiltiy for the theft of the banners. They claimed to have done it in protest of the Bares commandeering an entire area of the nude beach for themselves. While the spirit of the trial was comic, this news didn't make any of the Bares laugh. The Pirates website boasted unauthorized pics of the Bares, and the stories had "snippy" quality about them.
Prior to the actual trial, I got to do a little play-acting as a reporter on the scene. I was asked to interview several Bares to get their thoughts on the crime, the suspect, and what type of punishment was deserved. Even though I'm usually camera-shy, I had a great time doing it.
I also became a member of the Overproof Shooters Club. Bubbly Bare Doc Overproof, established the club at Hedo in 1998. Anyone who could drink a 1-1/2 ounce shot of overproof rum without flinching, grimacing or puking becomes a card-carrying member of the club. I passed the test!
To celebrate the Bubbly Bares anniversary, the Hedo staff threw a Sweet 16 party for them in the disco. They put out some wonderful appetizers and cakes, and the Fat Cats provided the music. Tamara was the Bubbly Bare girl in the 6-foot high champagne glass. In the middle of the party, Tavis and Eladio wheeled in a giant gift-wrapped box topped with a huge bow. Out popped Robin in a blonde wig and red mini-dress, singing "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina." He handed each Bare a keepsake T-shirt that Hedo had made especially for them to commemorate their 16th Anniversary at Hedo.
Toga night was the usual stuff. Wore my own toga again. Was very tired that night so I left the party early. On PJ night I wore a new long black lace see-through gown with slits up the sides to my hips. Something different than the usual tap pants/camisole set.
This trip seemed to fly by very quickly. Another trip report will follow in October. See you then....
