Crowds pack 7 Sins
The LGBT community welcomed a new night spot to Largo in a very big way on Friday, July 26. 7 Sins Night club brought a huge LGBT Friday Night Dance Party to a 10,000 square-foot space within Los 2 Pebes Restaurant and Bar. A VIP area, a boom boom room and an outside Tiki bar stayed busy throughout the night. One attendee told Watermark that the club atmosphere was reminiscent of clubs found in New York. The night of entertainment presented two shows with host Madisyn Michaels and featured Nae Nae Dominatrix, Star Montrese Love and Natasha Possh. A rotating cast will bring the party back every Friday night and each week, popular Billboard magazine reporting DJ Greg Anderson (who is also a WAVE Award winner) will be in the DJ booth.

Prom-oting memories
It was a busy weekend for Largo. Quench Nightclub held its very first “Prom You Wish You Had” on July 27, and the bar was packed with tuxedo-clad men and women and several prom dresses. There was even a King and Queen, King and King and Queen and Queen ceremony, all emceed by the hilarious Alexis Mateo and Madisyn Michaels. Prizes were awarded for “best prom attire” and several area businesses donated to the cause, including Georgie’s Alibi, Simply Delicious NY Deli, Lucky Star Lounge, The Garage, Nardo’s Naturals and Dunedin Lanes. Quench also provided two bar tabs as prizes. Quench was decorated with white balloons and celebrity cardboard cutouts and bartenders were looking hot in their tuxedo Speedos.
Mary’s in Clearwater?
It looks like Mary may finally be crossing the Bay. A new Facebook Page promoting Hamburger Mary’s Clearwater popped up the last few days in July, and while it doesn’t disclose an exact location, it does hint that it’s ready to move full steam ahead toward a grand opening. It looks like the new Mary’s will be an extension of the Mary’s in Ybor City, since one of the contacts for resumes is Brian DeChane, co-owner of the Ybor City restaurant, and Kurt King. The new business is accepting resumes for behind the house and front of the house positions. Check out the new Hamburger Mary’s Clearwater Facebook page for updates and details.
Softballers do drag for charity
The annual Miss Suncoast Softball All Star Pageant was held in Ybor City’s Bradley’s on 7th July 27, and all proceeds benefited the Ybor Youth Clinic. Representatives from several teams donned wigs, makeup and fabulous gowns and took to the popular stage. All of their tips were generously donated to the charity, which helps local LGBT youth in Tampa Bay. Organizer Gerre Reynolds reported that more than $700 was raised that night, and there were no major ankle injuries due to high heals.
