We have had many crazy wild time with our convertible party car, H.R.H Princes Priscilla! We loved to “Shoot the Bridge”. This was what everybody called it when we would cross over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Going up to 200 ft above Tampa Bay with huge cargo ships traveling in and out of port below you. There is a turnabout on the southside of the bridge into the rest area then back to the north side and over the beautiful mammoth bridge. On one of these “Shoot the Bridge” drives the car was full of guys when up to us came traveling next to us was 3 HUGE Breasted Wild Girls! We pulled off to stop at the rest area and they followed. We found out that they were in a new reality show from Italy and shooting the show in Florida. The show was about… Who would have the Wildest time in Florida? A brunette Girl from Italy, a Blonde Girl from Sweden, a redhead Girl from England. They asked to go for a wild ride in Princess Priscilla. We knew they were way over the top.

We said ‘no’ and took off back over the bridge. The film crew & girls in a van chased us over the bridge filming all the time. We pulled back into the SunCoast Resort and unloaded the guys. Then Carrie gave the girls a ride around the SunCoast Resort. There was a Sunday T-Dance going on in the courtyard. The Wild Girls ran in and started to dance. Then they realized where they were! The girls had a great time but the camera crew had an even better time!!! LOL LOL

2013 HARVEY MILK FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES LINEUP
The 4th Annual Harvey Milk Festival (HMF) will take place May 16-18^th,2013 in the historic downtown district of Sarasota, Florida. The mission of the Harvey Milk Festival is to honor the life of Harvey Milk, one of the first openly gay Americans elected to public office, by fostering emerging talent in musicians and artists who support diversity and reject discrimination, and to promote equality for LGBTQ people through supporting equal rights legislation.

Admission is free to all events with the exception of the HMF film component.

On May 16^th, HMF/Film will host a screening of the documentary I Am Divine which follows the life story of John Waters’ drag queen protégée Divine, the late celebrated stage and screen performer. The film features interviews with Waters himself, along with Ricki Lake, Mink Stole and others.

On May 17^th, HMF/Art will host The Equality Art Gallery exhibiting local and national artists at MillerBrady Fine Art Gallery.

On May 18^th, HMF/Music will feature a stage at Five Points Park, featuring nine national and local musicians. Founder and HMF Board President Shannon Fortner believes this year’s musical lineup is particularly special due its diversity in genres, ranging from high-energy folk rock to catchy electro pop. “All of our performers believe in LGBTQ equality, creating a welcoming environment for everyone,” Fortner states.

The 2013 HMF headliner is French Horn Rebellion. Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin the indie brother-duo have pioneered a new genre called ‘Next Jack Swing’ which mixes synth beats with funky bass lines. Garnering critical praise at 2013 SXSW, the band has toured with indie-pop heavyweights MGMT and Cut Copy. The Guardian states the duo makes ‘killer dance pop’ that sounds like “MGMT if they were to hook up with mustachioed disco producers from the 70s.”

Co-headliners include Clementine and The Galaxy, a NYC-based duo creating spacey art pop, gathering praise from The Huffington Post, Time Out New York and The Deli Magazine, which named the band one of the top emerging artists of 2013. Local Sarasota electro-pop quintet MeteorEYES will also co-headline.

Other musicians scheduled to appear include Good Graeff, Jen Rock and The Cry Babies, Bard and Mustache, Zulu Wave, Brazos the Rat and Waking Giants.

Art installations at Five Points Park will include an installation by Steve McAllister entitled The Labyrinth of the Unbroken Path.
