It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a ... Couch Freak?

September 2, 2009

Most weekends people don’t have to worry about lingerie-clad women falling out of the sky. Then again, most weekends aren’t host to the Des Moines Skydivers annual skydiving event, the Dollar Daze. “Skydivers like to say it’s the most fun you can have with your clothes on, for the most part,” said Marc Hobbs, the event’s drop zone manager. The lingerie dives, which Hobbs said are exactly what they sound like, are just one of the features to take place at the 29th annual Dollar Daze today through Monday at the Fort Dodge Regional Airport, 1639 Nelson Ave. Another unique feature of the event will be initiations to the Pink Mafia, a club of skydiving women who initiate their members by passing around a Barbie doll while they’re falling through the sky, said Hobbs. Four planes and one helicopter will be part of the Dollar Daze, and according to Hobbs, it is one of the largest skydiving events in the country.
