Since 2003, top New York lighting designer Dana Sterling has produced monthly Amateur Female Jello Wrestling parties in downtown bars. The event has generated a loyal and growing group of participants and fans, and features a kiddie-pool filled with ‘jello’ (see our website for the ingredients), some outrageously fun wrestling outfits, a huge dose of humor, and some of the city’s best up-and-coming rock bands and DJs. This event allows women from all walks of life to express their show-womanship and sports-womanship with self-created wrestling identities in a safe, supportive, and uproariously fun environment. Wrestlers of all shapes and sizes get free on-the-spot training in safety and WWF-style wrestling moves, along with help developing their wrestling alter egos, costumes and performances, so they can strut stuff in their own chosen styles. Many women who have participated describe their experiences as both hilarious and empowering, and return to wrestle again at future partie.

Interested in wrestling? Please RSVP to DanaSterli@aol.com or 917-653-5674, and show up for training at 6:30 PM on the day of the event. For more info, please visit www.jellowrestle.com.

"The show is done for the girls, put together by girls, as something that's a fun, friendly competition," said Dana Sterling, 31, who has organized the "Amateur Female Jello Wrestling" competition once a month for the last three years.’
