International Mankini Challenge

Mankini’s and the Milwaukee Police Department

Following the great mankini pictures sent in by Flo Areal when he was in Antarctica, the word countinues to spread about the International Mankini Challenge and this week reached Milwaukee in Wisconsin (USA). JB Poplawski heard through his boss, who had seen some details on twitter, about us and sent in a few pictures of his own efforts.

JB told us that he “… wore the mankini for a Cancer benefit called Angel on my Shoulder and raised a little over $300 for the cause. Additionally (he) included a picture with the Milwaukee Police Department on Halloween of 2009.” Great effort JB. My experience of the US PD departments hasn’t uncovered a great sense of humour, but you certainly seem to have them laughing. 10/10 for bravery!

Inspired by the challenge set JB goes on to tell us that “we should have another entry from the UK coming as my co-worker heard of my antics and said he bought one. I’m not traveling overseas anytime soon, but I’m sure I can get some more sites in the US. :) ” Nice one. Hopefully others will follow your lead sir!

    Yes, people, JB is the #1 Mankini wearer! I say that not only because he is my brother but because He wore that thing with pride on the streets of Milwaukee but also jumped in a frozen lake for charity in it! Socks and all!
