Dirty Blondes and a Playboy Playmate in the ADKs


For anyone who likes dirty blondes and/or Playboy playmates, you may want to hang out a bit in Lake George and Ticonderoga over the next week or so.
The Adirondack Brewery is holding their inaugural (not to be confused with first annual - as one of my former co-workers pointed out, there really is no such thing as a first annual event) Miss Dirty Blonde contest.
It's too late to enter yourself but you can still reap the rewards since the 12 finalists will be featured on posters, online at AdkBrewey.com, and on the brewery's Facebook site.
You can also vote for your chosen contestant online and at establishments that serve Adirondack Brewery products, August 1 - 19. The final three and Miss Dirty Blonde 2011 will be announced on August 22, 2011 and will win up to $5,000 in prizes.
The contest was inspired by the Lake George Brewery's top-selling Dirty Blonde ale.
And, just north of Lake George, the small town of Ticonderoga will be getting "some extra spark" (as the Associated Press put it) due to a planned visit by Playboy Playmate Mei-Ling Lam, the magazine's June Playmate of the Month (I found a picture with her wearing clothes- surprise - that I posted).
She is scheduled to ride in a convertible car during the town's July 4th parade Monday. It is still unclear what she will be wearing...if anything.
Of course, I'm not the only one to have picked up on this - Q103 has something on their site today too.
Her business manager Brian Little is a Ti native. And her fiance, former Atlanta Falcons running back Ken Oxendine, will be traveling with her.
While parade organizers are less than thrilled, I have a feeling the parade spectators might not mind.
