Translated into English this is 'The Night of the Bitches' and it is a tradition in the town of Cerro Mono Blanco (which sounds like White Ceremony but is actually White Cute Hill – just a bit more trivia for you to wade through) in the Province of Caternaco in Mexico. (Or joo purists will say Mehico). It's origin dates back over 2,000 years and celebrated on the first Friday of March each Year. It's origin was initiated duirng the time that many healers, sharmans and fortune-tellers existed and where many myths about what makes a husband hide in his shed and legends about women getting men to do things that don't want to do were born.
Translated into an Australian context 'The Night of the Bitches' could be when every woman over the age of 18 could be let free from the drudgery of work (for which they would still be paid) or the mind numbing boredom of housework (men would were the apron for the night) and they would all go out for a Girls Night Out or some older women would call a 'Knees Up'. (it would be interesting to find out where that term came from. Has it something to do with sex or childbirth?)
But you ask how this would promote tourists to our village. Simple. Imagine a few hundred women descending on your town determined to whoop it up with a lot of squeaking with delight and screaming for the male stripper to 'get it all off''. The dozens of 'chicken vol-au-vents' and mini-bottles of Champers. The cases of Gin and the litres of Tonic. The Porphry Pearl and that stuff in Chianti Bottles before you put a candle in them.
The local Police could decorate the cells at the Station with Lace Curtains and Petti-point Cushions for those ladies with arresting attributes. Of course female Solicitors would be handy too but they would have the night off as well and could possibly already be in the cells.
THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
‘WHAT DO XENOPHOBES EAT?’
I would have called this last little bit ‘SPAM from the Internet’, but under the rules of vegetarianism we might have to begin calling it ‘TOFU’.
