Meet the Wrestlers: Princess "Lay-Ya" Down

Introducing the first of eight ladies who will battle for the Golden Bicep on June 11.
"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."
It is a period of civil war. Rebel DCLAW spaceships, striking from a hidden base [at the American Legion], have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel DCLAW spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death CLAW, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Lay-Ya Down races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy. In her perilous journey, she will face three agents of the Empire in a battle of strength and fortitude. Together with her faithful entourage, she will use the force to take down her opponents, bring support and resources to the N Street Village and promote freedom and happiness throughout DC.

Look at those guns! And that was just our first match. Imagine the gun show you're in for at the fourth bout, after we've had more than a year in training.

Fourth Bout is June 11!

The Ladies of DCLAW are proud to present our fourth throw down on Saturday June 11.
Shake hands with our previous champions (if you dare) and meet our fresh meat! The ladies arm wrestling this time around are: Princess "Lay-Ya" Down, Scarlett O'Scara, Top Guns, Aussie Osbourne, Sideshow Sally Strongarm, Bocce Balboa, Rainbow Blight and Black and Deck Her.

And because we sponsor a new charity each bout, the non-profit that will receive all proceeds from this event is N Street Village. The organization helps women achieve personal stability and make gains in their housing, income, employment, mental health, physical health, and addiction recovery.

The Deets:

WHERE: American Legion Post 8 on Capitol Hill—conveniently located a few blocks from Capitol South metro stop at 224 D Street, SE.
