On the last Saturday in October in Tampa (actually Ybor City), we celebrate Guavaween which is Tampa’s Latin version of a Halloween Mardi Gras. Throughout the night, young and old parade the streets in slutty creepy outlandish costumes. Anything goes on Guavaween night and great time to get your freak on!

A Killer Halloween Dance Party
With Halloween in the air, it’s time to cast a spell to raise Five Minutes for Fitness from the dead with a killer dance party concoction that will surely lift your sprits.

Everyone Knows It’s Windy
Who’s tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin’ at everybody she sees
Who’s reachin’ out to capture a moment

Another Moonlight Encounter
This morning, I left my house a little earlier so I could avoid an encounter with my stalker neighbor. The chilly morning air greeted me as I opened the door. While I walked, I enjoyed a cool morning under another full moon and hoped my plan to avoid my stalker neighbor worked.

Moonlight Madness
This morning, an usually large looming full moon illuminated the dark morning sky. It made the perfect backdrop for a creepy horror film with a scary clown that lurks in the sewers as the main villain.
Actually, the beautiful oversized white sphere added the perfect touch for a romantic encounter with my stalker.
I shouldn’t really call him [...]
