Luvs, it's definitely shaping up to be a rollicking October and then, some as Negril is definitely rocking this here very weekend, just ahead of the massive Heroes weekend, when the entertainment and party capital of the island is all set to go full blast as the young and the restless and party hearty descend on the famed beach town to party hard in celebration of their statuses as the new high priests and priestess of the party crowd. And as is to be expected, leading the way as the party destination is the notoriously and fabulously racy, ultra happening Hedonism 11 Hotel and Resort.

Dears, following on last week celebration and crowning of Fetish Fantasy Queen of the Universe, this week it's all about Mr Caribbean International, as indeed with some of the hottest men of the Caribbean and the diaspora jetting to compete for the title and bragging rights to this crown now in its tenth year of staging, y'all know we are talking a weeklong party that comes to a crowning climax this weekend, in a show that promises to nothing short of the orgasmic.

Children, where there are boys there will be girls, and so it is this weekend as indeed the Hedo ladies are jetting in from all over the Caribbean and the USA to cheer on their favourite chocolate and carmel beefcake, so y'all know we are talking pulling out all the stops, and then some.

Dears, more anon, as this is a definite must-attend!

And still in Negril this weekend, it promises to be the mother of all anniversaries, with the twin celebration this here weekend, as Couples Negril and Couples Swept Away will be hosting and celebrating their double anniversary shindig, and pumpkins, when it comes to throwing a fabulous anniversary celebration, there are few resorts that do so with the style and pizzazz of the Couples family of fabulous resorts, and with this weekend being the 14th anniversary, you know we are talking prime time here and nothing but.
