White Out

We've roughed it dressed in 80s gear, as pirate wenches, donned our Shock Squad T's (And deal with the drunken insults that come along with those), but this time, it was time for OCB's costume clowns to class it up. Yes, I called us the c word- classy. Amelia and I dressed in all, or mostly white, in my case, for the Guys With Ties 2nd Annual White party at 23 benefiting the American Heart and Stroke Associations.

Those guys and their ties throw one helluva party for one helluva good cause. The club was jam packed, and the line went around the block so long, people waiting were actually getting pizza at Gino's because their spot was that close. Though we were tempted, Amelia and I braved the crowd and bypassed the food, hitting up the bar to flash and find out how to stay all white by night's end.

23 is an upscale, upstairs bar that has a great rooftop area, along with balcony access so you can wave to friends and fellow drunks down on Church St. Teaming up with Guys with Ties was a great idea, and for future reference, I recommend any event thrown or attended by them. They're dressed up, classy, and fun. Oh, and they do it all for various good causes. Here's their Web site: http://www.guyswithties.org/orlando/index.html

Check them out, and check us out on O-LENS for pictures and videos from the event. XOXO- Dina

Time Travel ....

Thats right, yours truly, Amelia and Dina, have discovered how to time travel. Want to know the secret?  Its called the 80's Pub Crawl.  Why the 80's you ask? Because its so friggin classic!!!  I mean from the leg warmers, gold chains, music, all the way down to the outrageous hair how can you go wrong? You cant!  We started out at Slingapours worked our way to the Lodge, club 39, and some Independent Bar.  All along the way we had those classic 80's jams to rock out to.  Some people downtown were trying to figure out what happened because over 500 people showed up for this gnarley pub crawl.  Thank you Cameron for another unforgetable experience.  Although by the end of the night with all the free drinks and the drink specials some of us were not remembering everything. I myself got so distracted that I stopped in at the EgoLab where my girl Rosie Perez (yes like the actress) hooked me up with an up do to stand up to the humidity.  If you reference the pictures at this point you will notice my hair was down and straight and magically went to up and curly.  I left EgoLab all rocked out to head to the last spot which was Antigua. All in all it was a great night that will hold a special place in my heart (at least till the next pub crawl).  At this point if you havent caught on pub crawls are an awesome friggin time, so get with it and join in. Dont forget to check out the awesome pics and catch some great video from that night.  Till the next flash Orlando.....

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

It was newbie night for the Shock Squad, with Amelia and I showing the lovely Latoya around town, starting at Hush on Universal. Behind Wet and Wild, out by all the fun touristy traffic times, is a strip of hot clubs that are actually all about the locals. At Hush, our first stop of the evening, the decor is upscale, with leather booths, swanky VIP sections, friendly staff, and of course, stripper poles in the main room. I'm counting the last mention as a more of a training tool. The managers, bartenders, security and promoters showed us some love- check out the video for tips on the best nights to go and what to look for.

We also spent some time with the crowd outside the door waiting to get in. The guys and girls were all too willing to get flashed, and showed us their stuff too. Dirty. We <3 it. Going with the theme of the night, and the blog, the troublesome threesome headed downtown to flash some of our regulars. We hit up Dragon Room, which was so packed we had difficulty getting our flash on. Gotta have enough space to do it right folks, so we moved on further down the road.

On the corner of Pine and Orange is an art gallery known as the CityArts Factory. Not only do they display some of the city's finest, they were hosting more of the same Saturday night. Mel's Bad Girls Club was holding their prom to raise money for BASE Camp for Kids Cancer Foundation. The bad girls did a helluva lotta good and looked amazing while doing it. Check out the Shock Squad photo gallery for more.

OCB is doing the college crawl tomorrow night. Look for our girls and guy down at Liquid Cellar/Library area tomorrow. On Saturday, you'll find Amelia, Pinkee (Initiation to come, stay tuned) and I in our leggings, slap bracelets and pointy bras for the 80's Pubcrawl. See you then!! XOXO- Dina

Hot Glo in the Night

Hot Import Nights after party at Glo Lounge was poppn' like never before.  We checked out the show at the Convention Center and then partied like rockstars.  The drinks were flowing, the outfits were hot, and the music was pumping.  We hung out with the awesome bartenders who were pouring drinks like their lives depended on it (reference the group shot).  DJ Chino and company kept the crowd going with everything from hip hop to reggae, if you werent happy your too picky!!  Many of the patrons were there to represent the different car clubs in the area and were talking about the show from earlier in the night.  Not to mention the very many hot girls that were there to showcase the cars and some other assets (wink, wink).  Good times were had and if you didnt come we will let it slide this time but next time we expect to see you out there no excuses.  Look for us at Trivia night in One Eyed Jacks and elsewhere on Wednesday.  Till the next Flash you all!!!!!!  Dont be afraid to say hi! Or smile for that matter....

Trials and Triv-ulations

I normally have a strict schedule I like to keep when partaking in social activities. This week however, duty called and I changed it up a bit. Heading off with my counterpart Amanda in search of some trivia buffs at One Eyed Jacks, we discovered that trivia, like most other things at Wall St., is second to liquor and lovin'.

Trivia is definitely more entertaining when liquor is involved. Work crowds stick around post happy hour to team up against friends and foes for Curtis Earth Trivia. Though the game was quite intense, the crowd didn't mind some hump day flashing and gladly posed for photos.

Not wanting to interrupt for too long, we wandered the rest of Wall St. and snapped some photos of the birthday celebrations going on at Slingapours, The Globe, Waitiki, Cantina, and the Loaded Hog. Once our street walking was complete, the folks at Chillers, Latitudes, and Big Belly Brewery were kind enough to let us flash them as well.

A few stalkerish photo subjects even followed our crew around downtown and had their own mini photo shoots (cough cough Stephanie, Troy, and Ben). Sadly, their 15 minutes of fame will have to continue another night, because these Shock Squaders had to get going.We'll be at it again soon enough though. Stop by Hush this weekend if you want to get flashed. XOXO- Dina

Sins at HIN

Hot cars, hot chicks, hot guys, hot music. I think you get the theme of Hot Import Nights. There were tons of tricked out cars with everything from DVD players in the trunks (which I don't fully understand, but it looked cool) to aquariums in the consoles. The best of the best were picked to showcase their rides for HIN, and these guys- and girls- treat their cars like their babies.

There were plenty of half naked girls to pose for the event as well. I'm not sure what cause more drool- the chicks or the cars. Feel free to submit your vote. Sean Kingston performed, and there were dancers, car competitions, and other music acts in each corner of the convention center. If you weren't entertained at this event, you must not get out much.

The best see and be seen spot was definitely the Engineheads area. The new car and bike Web site selected Orlando's finest to represent at HIN. If you missed the action, check out www.OrlandoCityBeat.com, and stay tuned to www.Engineheads.com for a custom site for all your custom rides. See you for some drunken karaoke on Wednesday at Paddy McGees. XOXO- Dina

Rocking For A Cure

The Social always rocks and this Saturday was no different.  When the Shock Squad learned Cori Yarckin was going to headline a night of music to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure, we knew this was an event we had to attend!

 

Natasha and I enjoyed opening acts such as Social Ghost, Kessler, Ariya and Emily Stine and of course we loved, the headlining act, Cori Yarckin.  The OCB Shock Squad has seen Cori Yarkin on many occasions, she always puts on an awesome show.  With a large crowd, our picture taking skillz shined.  Were you flashed??


Be sure to check out the pictures from Saturday by clicking on O-Lens to see if the Shock Squad flashed you.  If you enjoyed the music Saturday night, check out the music section at orlandocitybeat.com to see where your favorite bands will be playing next. In addition, do not forget to see where you can find your favorite OCB Shock Squaders this week.  We know you cannot go more than two days without your OCB fix.  Until next time Orlando --AMANDA--
