Wet T-Shirt
Tease!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A wet T-shirt contest is a form of beauty contest in which the
participating women wear a white or light-colored T-shirt without a bra,
while water is sprayed or poured on them to make their clothing
semi-transparent.

The water is often cold to
induce erect nipples, suggestive of sexual arousal. The participants
sometimes remove their T-shirts, appearing topless or even totally
naked. Wet T-shirt contests can be considered a form of striptease or
erotic dance. The performance is intended to cause sexual arousal among
the audience. It is becoming increasingly common for the lady
contestants to remove all their clothing and kiss or touch in a sensual
way the other participants, and thus, the contest starts to slowly shift
away from its original format. Many of these contests are filmed, and
then distributed over the internet. Analogous "wet boxer-short contest"
with male participants are also held.

It has been reported that in 1969, Playboy ran a two-page spread of a
wet T-shirt contest held at Mammoth Mountain as part of the K2 ski
promotional tour, which would make that the first ever.
The origin of wet T-shirt contests is nevertheless generally traced back
to Jacqueline Bisset's appearance in the film The Deep (1977), in whose
opening sequence she was seen swimming underwater and surfacing, wearing
a white T-shirt.
