Doing my usual research on the web I found pics and clips from a recent event named "St. Valentine's Day Speakeasy Party & Pie Fight!" Interesting stuff with many well dressed girls involved. There are also some clips in instagram searching #piefight. Take a look
I don't care how spoiled I am: logic comes first. Logic doesn't care how spoiled or not anyone is. WTF is the point of a pie fight if everyone WEARS UGLY PLASTIC SHEETS?!
If you don't want to ruin good clothes, then do it in your damned underwear!
This is not a criticism of you, Pinhead. Thank you for bringing to our attention a pie fight that has terribly gone wrong. The world needs a UMD World Messy Even Patrol that goes around the world to various messy gameshows & charities & correct them on how they're doing it all wrong.

I was there. It was a lot of fun. Only half of the participants bothered to wear ponchos. The rest, like me, got pelted in our 20s outfits, some of which were quite skimpy. I remember trying not to stare at a girl covered head to toe in pie cream, looking very much like Natalie Wood in The Great Race, as she struggled not to slip on the cream coated floor. The washroom there was small and crowded, so many of us left the party that night still thoroughly pied as we walked the streets to our cars.
I was there as well. It was a very fun night overall. The band was good, 20's flapper dancers/ singer was great & the pie fight was awesome. It was my first time actually piecing someone. Being in a big group made it fun too. Their FB page says more photos to come & there was a video there as well. Hopefully that will appear soon too. Im in a few of these pictures!

I've seen that unit in action. The Special wamming unit. If memory serves, even Jessie has fallen victim to them
Was also there. It was a ton of fun! Which ones were you guys?
Some of the outfits were pretty impressive, and many of the participants really knew how to dance. The bands playing retro music were entertaining, too.
I had gone to a local thrift shop and picked up a coat, vest, and pants that looked pretty good for the theme and roughly matched for something like $11 so I didn't mind getting them messed up. They didn't survive the night. Most everybody was with the theme although there were a couple people there who didn't make the effort and were just in jeans or whatever.
The pie fight was awesome. Yes, the plastic sheets did put a damper on things, and ultimately I think they didn't help people stay clean as much as they thought. I think the pies were real whipped cream (like somebody got a lot of cream in a bucket and whipped it up) - it was thick and sticky and hard to get off of anything. I was a little worried, if it was real cream, that it'd end up doing that thing that Reddi-Wip does and react badly with skin causing a bad smell, but I didn't have that problem. Whatever it was, it tasted OK!
I'd say a quarter of the participants didn't bother with the plastic covers, and those folks seemed to be having the most fun. As pointed out, there wasn't much of a cleanup facility - just a two-sink bathroom area, enough to clean most of your hands and face. There wasn't much parking at the venue; I ended up having to strip off my coat and vest and then walk about a quarter mile through a neighborhood at night with pie-covered pants. Glad I didn't run into any suspicious parties on the way.
I felt kinda bad for other people that aren't experienced WAMmers and probably didn't bring appropriate supplies to make it home. The materials for the event advised people to Lyft/Uber due to drinking/lack of parking and advertised a cleanup station, so I think people thought they'd be able to clean up better before going home. The hostess, at the conclusion of the night with everyone covered head to toe, said "well, it's over - good luck getting an Uber!" I imagine there were a few surprised Lyft/Uber drivers that night; can't imagine being stuck outside in the middle of LA at 2AM covered in sticky cream without my own transportation home.
Would definitely do this again; hopefully they do another one (although after seeing the venue, the cleanup may make them hesitant to do it again!)
