Photo Essays: Ladies Amateur Jello Wrestling

Girls-only Amateur Jello Wrestling mixes showmanship with sportsmanship in a raucous monthly event where women get down and dirty in fifty gallons of clear Jello. Women from all walks of life meet to wrestle- including lawyers, school teachers, and students. Wrestlers pick stage names and personas, and all attend a mandatory training session prior to the show. The vegan Jello used is a clear polymer that holds water in a solid form, and doesn't stain skin. The New York Amateur Female Jello Wrestlers happily welcome novice wrestlers to their ranks, and matches can turn into slick free-for-alls towards the end of the night, when more than six girls have been known to jump into the ring, an inflatable pool, at once. Before the match, the girls are trained in basic wrestling techniques
