Tampa's 13 Ugly Men threw a killer Halloween bash last night at the newly renovated Sheraton Riverwalk in downtown Tampa. An estimated crowd of 2,000 included Amy Winehouses, Hugh Hefners, Slashes, Sarah Palins, awesomely naughty nurses and scores of smokin' hot she-devils. If you were a dude on the prowl, it was the place to be. About 70 percent of the attendees were women, the vast majority being babes.
I sported a venetian mask and spent quality time hanging with fellow Gaither High School class of '96er Lance Ponton (the dude dressed up like Pee Wee Herman). He organized the event with his fellow Ugly Men. Ponton's personal VIP section remained well-stocked with Ketel One, Red Bull and fine women throughout the evening. The get-your-freak-on costume party (which benefited the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay) was still raging when a couple female partiers and I jumped in a cab around 1:15 a.m. and headed back to SoHo for a drink at MacDinton's. Good times.
More photos after the jump.
