Perth's Hottest Tradie: 96fm's promotional competition where Perth's finest have been nominated over the past few weeks and competed in a final pageant.
The last tradie was crowned in 2005 and they haven't gotten back around to holding it until this year. This weekend, 9 of Perth's hottest tradies strutted down the "Blue Collar Catwalk" (ironically it is also Perth's Fashion week this week) for their chance to be crowned with golden hard hat.
But these tradies had to have it all to win with scores in evening wear, swimwear, and even a talent. There were a variety of sparkys, chippys, and plumbers.
But it wasn't all testosterone. There were 7 dudes and 2 chicks on the catwalk.
Sponsors outfitted the contestants, with the swimwear being provided by Budgie Smugglers. I'll leave you to guess what that is an Aussie word for... But they even provided the stars and strips version budgie smuggler for Phillip and one with $100 American bills, because it's all about the Benjamins!
Now you might wonder what kind of talents tradies have. They have all the ones you would expect in a pageant.
Dance...
Power lifting...
Lassoing...
Peeling an apple with a drill...
Everyone deserved a golden hammer or drill for being great sports and going all out. But there can be only one winner.
And the winner was...
Brendan! His talent leaved a little to be desired (he had his dog roll around, not my cup of tea), but he won the judges and crowd over with his charming personality.
The prize was no box of screws though. Grand prize was $10,000!
And look, Google+ Photos even put it all together in a little nice Perth's Hottest tribute.
I must also note, that this was held in a brand new bar, that hasn't opened yet and isn't really even finished. But they have managed to get some of the artwork on the walls. Yankee stadium in Australia?
