Film Star Ms Joey Brooks
With the huge success of her book, “The Show Must Go On”, The rumors are all over about a film version of her infamous “First Lady of Ybor City” life . All we can confirm so far is that there are definitely several people talking about it.
Saving Mr. Banks
Our very favorite place for watching new movie releases is at the Centro Muvico 20. Located in the heart of GaYBOR it’s perfect for the before or after date night too. Us, being huge “Mary Poppins” fans, were very excited to see the newly released Oscar talked about movie, “Saving Mr. Banks.”
The film did not let us down. We were laughing then in tears. We are sure this film will be nominated for film of the year. Don’t wait. Go & see “Saving Mr. Banks’ today.

You Can Not Make This Up.
There are so many stories and tales about the old St Pete gay resort, SunCoast Resort that a lot have to be re-told. The Bear parties at the resort were always over the top. They sold out the resort from Bears from around the country. These guys sure knew how to party. There were drinking & eating contests and of course a lot of ‘Hey how are you’ greetings.’ Other contests like… how many bears would it take to overflow the huge pool! I think the record was 8 guys! The most bacon 1 could consume at 1 setting…24 pounds. Oh yeah we were there for that one at the resorts Flamingo Restaurant.
At MC Film we always carried fun things for the bears from XL shirts to XXXL thongs. At one party they invited us to the PRIVATE 3rd floor Bear Black Out Party. We had never been to one before but were told there would be great food & fun. It was about the time that bright fluorescent glow sticks & black light toys were just starting to get popular.
We had flashing buttons on that said, “Party!!!” There were two things they forgot to tell us. First, it was that Black Out meant there were no lights on. The second was that everybody was naked!!! There we walked in with our flashing button lights. Flash everybody was naked, Flash everything went black. I don’t know who was more surprised the Bears (who looked like deer in headlights) or us! Then a little voice came from the group of bears. It was a friend of ours. He said “Uncle Mark, Uncle Carrie, toss that flasher out & join us.”
We headed to the door at mach speeds! LOL LOL
