Having never been to an actual bikini contest before, The V247 wasn’t really sure what to expect at Louie’s Backyard. So We headed up to the second-floor deck to capture the contestants in all of their bikini-clad glory. The show, which was slated to begin at 9:30 p.m., ended up being delayed about an hour due to a lack of contestants. But it wasn’t because of the lack of babes on the Island. I’m convinced the weather was to blame. Nevertheless, the DJ announced the contest would begin shortly and bikini fans and friends of contestants crowded the front of the small stage–most of them were made up of packs of sun-burnt dudes with beers surgically attached to their arms. With cameras in hand, the audience was treated to an array of greased up, perfectly tanned, impeccably toned beach bodies. The first place winner received $100, second place received $50 and third place got a measly $25. The winner goes into pool to qualify for National Pageant in Hawaii. The contest is scheduled to take place tonight, Thursday and Saturday night, so if you’re in town and have a craving for bikinis, stop by Louie’s Backyard on South Padre Island at around 9:30 p.m. Check out our gallery and video of the contest.
