One thing for sure when you visit Bradley’s on 7th is that you will have a GREAT TIME!!! They are always bring in the best in entertainment. This past week Bradley’s actually had Miss Beverly Wild in the house!!!!  Many of had not seen Beverly since L Oliver’s closed. What a treat!!! Speaking of treats….. The male dancers at Bradley’s are just too much fun!!! Can we say camera hams too!!!

    Yes, it is the beginning of a hot summer in the ‘Lightening Capital of the World’. What to do on a hot humid no breeze Saturday night but to have a Flash Mob HOT Summer Fashion Show in Ybor City. The fashion runway… outside on the yellow lines of 15th Street. 8 dark tanned male models from Ybor Dancers strutted the new colorful autumn underwear and swanky surfwear from top selling Columbian manufacturer and designer, Unico. The unique flash sponsors were Liquid Lounge, Malibu Rum, Ybor Dancers, WOW Catering, MC FILM and Unico Beachwear.

    1000’s of people were notified by text of the on the spot fashion show. 100’s appeared and took to the sidelines watching and photographing as the multi-spotlighted models premiered the new fall collection of new undergear items and beach beauty swim and surf shorts in the open night air. Antics of one model walking the yellow stripes on his hands for the spectators received loud cheers.  A large limousined bachelorette college outing troupe of alcohol enriched girls hopped out of the limo and  whooped up the new night air and yelling, ” Ybor is always so *@*#  exciting. We want pictures! Wheww!” 

    New tabletop appetizers of caramel chicken skewers, goat cheese & cherry tomato poppers and super yummy tapas were being served to the amazed sidewalk watchers and street pedestrians by WOW catering waiters. Malibu rum which is promoting its new lines of flavored rum offered free tasting in Liquid Lounge. And of course the new arriving UNICO underwear and summer beachwear is available at MC FILM!

Had a great time at the Sawmill. Friday night there was a pool side circuit party with full laser light show and it was packed. Saturday representatives Pam and Josh from Caliente Nudist Resort were giving away free prizes and trip at the pool. Saturday night they had a funny anything but cloths contest and one of the couples wore a paper towel dispenser over his privates and his partner wore a toilet paper dispenser over his privates. Then in Woody’s there was a professional body painter glow painting people. Sunday was recovery day at the pool where Pam from Caliente Nudist Resort was giving free manipedis. It was very noticeable the changes in the Sawmill property and in the attitudes of the residence. They all seemed proud of the co-opt takeover and everyone I talked to said that it was the best thing the Sawmill could have done because now they steer their own destiny.

To: mcfilmfest@gmail.com

Hi Mark & Carrie:

fundraiser on on Aug 20th from 8-11pm at their clinic at 1315 E &th Ave
#104 in Ybor. The fundraiser is $100 per person and will provide the
much need funds to open this much need clinic.

The Ybor Youth Clinic is a new and long overdue addition to services
for those in need in Tampa Bay. The mission statement reads (in part)
as follows:

Our mission is to provide the highest quality, innovative,
compassionate and nonjudgmental health care services to our youth in
an environment tailored to their specific and unique needs. Our health
care services will include HIV testing and treatment; primary,
specialty and episodic care; GYN and contraceptive care; comprehensive
STI testing and treatment; psychiatric and mental health screening and
care; and access to various adolescent research trials.

This center will provide much needed care and support for young people
in the GLBT community. Many of these kids have been rejected by their
families either because of who they choose to love or their health
status. They need us.

The fundraiser details are:
Saturday, August 20 from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM
at the Ybor Youth Clinic: 1315 E. 7th Ave., #104

Please do not RSVP to this email. We will send more official notice
later (i.e. an Evite).

We hope you’ll take a few moments to consider the importance of this
effort, and join us in giving your support and, yes, love for this
effort.

Could you please add this to your weekly email blasts so this event
will be a great success and expidite the opening of the clinic.
