The National Crown Comes to GaYBOR!!!
The smell of expensive French Perfume floating through GaYBOR District could only mean one thing… The NATIONAL Miss Gay US0fA at Large Pageant was in town! 40 contestants from across the USA we here to compete for the highly prestigious crown at the Honey Pot. The talent competition rivaled anything you would find in Las Vegas! We overheard one person say, “The pageant looked like something you would expect to see in Miami’s South Beach” The other person replied. “Oh no this is much better than South Beach. This has GaYBOR’s high quality!” Making the top 12 were two GaYBOR Divas, Desiree DeMornay http://www.facebook.com/#!/desiree.demornay and Jocelyn Summers http://www.facebook.com/#!/jocelyn.summers . When it came time for th Crowning it sounded like a 747 had just landed on 7th Ave!!! Our very own Miss Desiree DeMornay was crowned the National Winner! This was also the very first time a Miss Gay Florida USofA at Large Crown holder won the National! GaYBOR is very Proud of our First National crown holder!!!! Congratulations to Miss Desiree DeMornay!!!
People are Talking
Everybody is asking where did the 30 foot bright pink bra at the TaTa’s Party for Breast Cancer come from? We have it from a very good source that it came from none other than VJ Greg Anderson’s DJ Booth at the Honey Pot!!!! Talking about TaTa’s, a drag queen wearing balloon TaTa’s was caught charging admission at a club where the admission is Free!!! Humm… next thing you know she will be charging for Ybor’s Free parking spaces. LOL LOL. And speaking of the famous VJ Anderson, he and new friend, Dr Robinson are in Paris, France sightseeing. Famous Washington, DC music artist and Latin pop singer Gloria Estefan’s music mixer, VJ/DJ Yiannis filled in at the G.Bar last Sat. It was some great Latin sounds a beating!!! Talent scouts were in town from the 4 Queens Casino in Las Vegas talking with our local divas. This Friday, it’s Miss Joey Brooks Birthday!!! We understand she will be 29 again this year! Tea Cup’s (MCFILM’s Mark) birthday is the day before Oct 13th… that make him 29 +1 day! Miss Brooks also has a tell all book coming to the stores this month. One thing people do not know about Miss brooks is that she graduated high school with former Tampa Mayor Pan Iorio. Miss Brooks went on to be the Queen of Tampa & Pam became the King of Tampa! Happy Birthday Joey! Opening Soon in Gaybor is a new Mediaterainian themed restaurant on the corner of 8th Ave & 15th Street, more to come soon.

Tatas For Ybor, American Cancer Society Art Event
The Ybor Art Association held a most unusual party and art event at Honey Pot Saturday night. Artists and vendors from around the area came together to put on “Tata’s For Ybor’ a benefit for the American Cancer Society including a large 30′ pink bra on stage. Numerous artists that are survivors of cancer participated and ‘Men in Pink Bras’ was a common site on 7th Ave.on Saturday! Collecting money in the bras for the Breast Cancer Benefit. Congratulations to Moire Shiver and YAA team for this wonderful event.
Ybor City Striders Have American Cancer Society Event
Men and boys put on their wives, girlfriends and even co workers pink bras for the ‘Put on Your Pink Bra Event ‘ at Gaspar’s Grotto Sunday in historic Ybor City getting ready for the Walk Against Breast Cancer 5K, October 22 in downtown Tampa. Singing Stone Gallery owner, Nataly Balk and Gaspar’s Grotto owner, Shere Shiller were volunteer team leaders. Every three minutes a woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer. In the United States, 1 out of 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer during her lifetime, but the 5 year survival rate is 98% if caught early. Mark your calendar for Saturday, Oct. 22 at 9 a.m. for the American Cancer Society’s “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.” Call your family and friends, organize a team and decorate a pink bra! Join thousands making up a sea of pink bras as people walk 5K from the St. Pete Times Forum to Bayshore Boulevard.
This is a fun, community oriented event (strollers welcome!) where everyone is encouraged to put on a pink bra! The pink bra serves as an empowering symbol of how personal the fight against breast cancer can be. Walkers are encouraged to throw bra decorating parties and carry their bras to raise awareness and money for the American Cancer Society. The money raised goes toward research, awareness and screenings.
