SEX ON THE BEACH BALL FX CHEAT SHEET!



(ALL CATEGORIES MUST IN SWIMSUITS OR BEACHWEAR)


WOMEN
Sex Siren - (with a Prop)
Cliff Note: The prop is mandatory! Umbrella, beach ball, pail and bucket are cute props to use but step outside the box and be creative. This is a CASH category!

Body - (Model vs. Luscious vs. Athletic)
Cliff Note: Body is rump-shaking and booty-shaking. Model means slim and trim. Luscious means THICK. Athletic means toned and muscles.

Face - (Painted vs. Unpainted)
Cliff Note: Why paint your face in your typical make-up when you can go glossy and look wet? and if you're unpainted, why not use water to show the judges that God has painted you naturally?

*NEW CATEGORY* Nail Flair - (NO FRENCH!)
Cliff Note: You have ten fingers - GO OFF! Do designs on each one, have matching hands or maybe hands AND feet????? Hmmmm...

BUTCH
Body
Cliff Note: Butch body is MUSCLES - Arms, stomach AND LEGS!! Pose for the judges like bodybuilders. Please don't shake like the women... it's not very butch. This is a CASH category!

Face - (in colorful swimwear)
Cliff Note: Be a peacock and strut your stuff! Neons and bright colors - It IS Miami!

Sex Siren - (with a towel)
Cliff Note: How much sexy are YOU willing to expose to the judges? Remember that an attractive face is needed to sell sex; it IS what you see first!

Barber Shop Flow - (Fade vs. Dreads vs. Braids)
Cliff Note: Your only note is designs!!! Think creative haircut/designs!

TRANSMAN
Realness - (Unclockable, Undeniable, Unstoppable)
Cliff Note: Stealth. Period. ALL TRUE TRANSMEN KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

Sex Siren - (Make us wet without water)
Cliff Note: I think it speaks for itself...

OPEN TO ALL
Hat & Eyewear - (doesn't have to be a Label)
Cliff Note: Straw hats and Ray-bans - BORING!!! Cocoa & Breezy/Stevie Boi with custom headwear is CRUCIAL!

Best Dressed - (Pool/Beach Attire)
Cliff Note: Can you make a statement good enough for the water AND the red carpet? Our clue: Match head to toe or Coordinate prints with solids. Golds always look good with a tan.

Runway - (The Floor is Yours)
Cliff Note: Your walk I can't help you with but make sure you sell your outfit like it was Fashion Week. Its OTA runway so European (FF) walks against All-American (MF).

MINI GRAND
Butch Up In Pumps - (Borrowed, Old & New)
Cliff Note: Can you walk NATURAL in a pair of high heels and still be BUTCH? Hmmmm.... This is a CASH category!

GRAND PRIZE CATEGORY
Mr. & Mrs. Sex On The Beach (Team Sex Siren)
Cliff Note: Watch Team Sex Siren - ATL Awards
