While today is all black and catty, tomorrow is all red and rosy as hashers from around the state come together (ooh-aah) in their rouge-hued finery for the annual Red Dress charity run.
This year the run is supporting Cystic Fibrosis Tasmania and their '65 Roses' awareness campaign ('65 Roses' is held to be a small child's attempt to say 'Cystic Fibrosis'). Cystic Fibrosis, or CF, is the most common life threatening, recessive genetic condition affecting Australian children, with at least 30% of teenagers with the disease not reaching adulthood.
Red-dressed hashers should assemble at the Regatta Pavilion at 1:30pm for pre-run fashion shoot, with 'on on' being called at 2:00pm. Cost is $25, which covers run, p!ss stop, special commemorative pin, printed patch, food and some after run drinks (BYO supplies if you want more than a taste).
Afterwards, those finding themselves all frocked up with no place to go will head to a local drinking establishment and try not to get kicked out because they're too old.

Don't forget the Swine '09 - Park Beach H3's 10th anniversary Pig Pen run on Saturday 21 February. Full details at http://www.pigpenrun.org/.
-------------------------------
The Burnie Hash red fashion stakes have been won by Ratchet, despite (or because of) some late fashion shots of Ringo and Urang.
This week's poll is: Which celebrity pig would make the best hasher?
Go to http://www.burniehhh.blogspot.com/, look for the poll on the right side of the page and record your vote (closes next Thursday).
