Talking with a WAM Friend about WAM moments and outfits etc, we mentioned a couple each that we didn't expect to happen to us at a particular time due to 1 reason or another.
My 1st one was when the ice bucket challenge happened, as part of the office team and always smartly dressed, I didn't expect to be doing in my work clothes as when I got nominated to do it. I had to dunk my heels into the bucket my feet would be in, while the other staff members prepared the other buckets.
Normally I would be fine and looking forward to it, but I had to hold back a little, mainly as had no change of clothes, the outfit and heels we're day to day stuff, not necessarily for doing WAM in and just had to hide my enjoyment of getting wet despite for charity.
The 2nd was I got asked to be part of a promotional team to do one of those challenge course events. The problem was we all had to do it in office attire, joys of how it was being promoted. The suit and heels I was wearing, really we're caked in water, mud and what not, plus the hair, makeup was no better.
What made it funny was, despite the impractical outfit and footwear, I took the challenge head on, if honest we all did. I remember us all complimenting our outfits and shoes, before the event, only for us to look a right state after it. With a bit of extra enjoyment in the mud for my shirt and the inside of my heels, as they missed the mess, but because we all had to take a photo in our favourite section of the course.
As we got washed off in the big mud pool as it became, to get the mud off as it were first, before we did a proper wash in the outfits, think it was hot showers, to see if outfits and shoes we're remotely salvageable, then a normal wash afterwards to clean them after. Certainly was an experience to say the least.
Intrigued to know of spontaneous WAM Moments and so forth if any have happened to you.
In high school, the Friday before homecoming we would have a pep rally, and our tradition was that as a fundraiser there would be a jar for each grade and whichever jar had the most money would have their class president and class sponsor (teacher nominated by students) get pied.
When my class raised the most money I got really excited, because my WAM- influenced mind saw this pie-in-the face as some deal where you just sat in a chair and got pelted with pies, and because our class sponsor was my absolute milf of an English teacher who basically lived in maxi dresses. An attractive blonde lady in her early 40s getting covered in whipped cream in a maxi dress and a jean jacket? Fine by me!
What I failed to realize was: the combination of casual Friday and a pep rally meant that my teacher was actually going to be in a school t shirt and jeans, and the pieing actually consisted of a single pie tin with enough whipped cream to cover the bottom.
The end result was that she maybe got a bit on her shirt, and I got about as turned on as I did by that mom in a dress getting secondhand spray from her baby getting baptized with a water gun during covid.
