Robin's Best Shirt Award,
June 4, 2010
It
was another hazy, hot, humid, steamy and exciting evening as a colorful crowd gathered at the Lol Ha Beach Bar to celebrate Robin's Best Shirt Award for
June, and while we are
now in the hurricane season, the well-behaved crowd did not get too
rambunctious, even when the winner was announced. The judges had another evening
with many serious contenders, and it appears that the winner was a unanimous
choice.

Despite the rumors, Jack Kennedy, along with Ann in the background, were in Akumal in May and June. |

Troy Motley, Russ' brother, was in town for the action, and he was smartly attired. |

Alex, Troy's son, was also at this event, and he too was colorfully attired. |

Not to be outdone by the rest of the family, Russ Motley is going with the pink flamingo motif, albeit they do not line up. |

Wendell Day hung around for a few more days just so he could display a very smart shirt at the competition. |

"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts. There they are all standing in a row. Big ones. Small ones. Even one with a nose." |

This is the time when the crowd gets antsy waiting for Mary to announce her decision. |

"I coulda been a contender. My patterns line up too." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To the victor goes the spoils. The idea of the patterns lining up was the clincher. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's a family portrait that should have won a prize as the most colorful ensemble. And, Troy's patterns lined up too. |
