Guavaween=Mardi Gras

Alright as you all know by now i'm from NYC and i've seen some of the craziest things downtown in village on halloween... but may I remind you it does involve costume and clothing I might add. Guavaween should have been Mardi Gras for all of Tampa. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I went with a bunch of friends; we all happen to be out-of-staters so none of us were familiar with what went on at this festival. Boy were we in for a surprise!!! I mean I was fighting guys off me. It was terrible; I felt so trashy and on top of that was the attitude of every girl there was shameful. My friends and I could not believe the rudeness and disrespect men displayed for women and how vulnerable and sleezy the women appeared for men. The only safe place on that street for respectable women was the clubs. I felt safer and calmer in a club then on that damn street. GEEZ! Someone had mentioned if I don't like Guavaween don't come to Gasparilla... whatever that means!
