The art of being naked: Photos of Tampa Nude Nite 2010

Tampa Nude Nite 2010 kicked off its three-night show Thursday at the old Tampa Armature Works building in Tampa Heights. A delicious mix of art lovers, voyeurs and curious onlookers enjoyed a night of entertainment including live burlesque, body painting and dozens of  works of art  displayed by nearly 100 artists. The atmosphere in the beautiful red brick “Trolley Barn” was electric. Strolling semi-nude and body-painted models added to a sense of artful exhibitionism. “Live” art — statuesque nudes in picture frames — dots the entire event, which also features sculpture, paintings, photography and great music. The classy but provocative exhibits, which include a poignant gallery of photographs of, and for the benefit of, breast cancer survivors, are on display in the evenings from 6-Midnight through Saturday.  Tickets are available at the door. $20 cash only. 21 and over, ID required. Valet available for $3.
The Heights Warehouse aka The Trolley Barn on the Hillsborough River, 1910 Ola Ave.  Tampa, FL 33602.

Featured Columnist The Top 10 Wrestling Entrance Songs of All Time

So I wanted to do a fun article and I got to thinking about entrances. More specifically, the entrance music.
The Freebirds started it and since then the music a wrestler comes out to, in many ways has become his or her trademark.
The fans recognize it and many times just hearing the first few notes of a popular wrestler's entrance music can make a crowd rise to its feet.
Without any more waiting, here's my list of the 10 best entrance songs of all time. Enjoy!

10. Bret Hart ("Hart Attack" by Jim Johnston)

Bret has one of those iconic entrance themes because you immediately know who's coming down to the ring.
From the opening guitar crescendo into the main riff that will get stuck in your head for days.
Jimmy Hart who was behind the original version of this song laid the ground work for Jim Johnston to update and perfect it.

9. The Ultimate Warrior ("Unstable" by Jim Johnston)

When I was growing up, before we got WCW on cable I was a big WWF fan. I couldn't care less about Hulk Hogan, I was an Ultimate Warrior fan.
His song got you so pumped up because not only did it have a pretty good groove, it was accented by the man just going bananas on his way to the ring.
You knew someone was about to be destroyed when it hit the speakers.

8. The Legion of Doom ("What A Rush" by Jim Johnston)

This is very similar to the man who is in the second spot on this list. It isn't so much the song that is great but the opening few seconds.
The signature "What a rush!" said by Hawk in that rough voice lets you know that LOD is on their way to absolutely tear a hole through whoever was unfortunate enough to be in the ring against them.
This technique for entrance music has been used a lot from Vader to Mr. Kennedy to The Miz.

7. The Undertaker ("The Grim Reaper" by Jim Johnston)

This is one that was hard to pick because Taker switches his music every few years or so. So let's just say any of his music when he's the Deadman version of the Undertaker. Limp Bizkit does not deserve a spot on this list.
Taker's music is one of the best recognized songs in all of wrestling. The lights go out, the blue smoke washes in, and that bell sounds. It's one of the few songs that can send chills down your spine.

6. Shawn Michaels ("Sexy Boy" by Jimmy Hart)

Shawn has used this for quite some time now. He still does when he's not affiliated with D-Generation X.
It's one of those songs that was written for a heel but still works when Michaels is a babyface because we all know he's that cocky showstealer.
It's also the only song on this list to be sung by the wrestler himself.

5. Ric Flair ("Dawn" taken from "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss)

I may be mistaken but I believe this is the only song to be on this list that wasn't written for the wrestler.
It's an incredibly self-indulgent song to use as your theme, being a grand epic opus but it fits "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair.
Flair is larger than life and so is his music. While he no longer comes out to this music, it will always be the song for which he is identified with

4. The nWo ("Rockhouse" by Jimmy Hart & J. Helm)

This is the classic NWO song, not the Wolfpac version or any other remix. It was the music you heard the most between 1996 and 1998.
The hottest angle and group in wrestling also had one of the songs that stood out the most.
From the blues inspired guitar riff to the distorted voice speaking through out. There's a reason why Jimmy Hart has been on this list a few times already

3. Jushin Thunder Liger ("Ikari No Jyushin Lyger" by Yumi Hiroki)

Probably the least heard song on this list but it's one of the most iconic in the world of wrestling.
If you're a Japanese wrestling fan then you've no doubt tried to sing along to this infectious song.
It's a very up-tempo J-Pop song but oddly fits Liger even when he's a heel. You know it's Liger coming down to the ring when the high-pitched female vocals kick in. The fans love it, and so do I.

2. Stone Cold Steve Austin ("Hell Frozen Over" by Jim Johnston)

Some may say that the version of this song recorded by popular band Disturbed is better but this is the original. When the glass breaks, the crowd jumps up into a frenzy.
It's very similar to Bret Hart's as it has a driving guitar riff and that opening moment where you just know who's coming down to the ring.
It doesn't matter what year it is, WWE fans hear that glass break and it's an instant standing ovation.

1. Hulk Hogan ("Real American" by Rick Deringer)

Did you think it would be anyone else? This is the song in the 1980's when it came to wrestling. Hogan is perhaps the most famous wrestler of all time and this has to be the most famous song.
It became an anthem for the fans and can bring a crowd to its feet instantaneously. Hogan used quite a few other songs in his career but I would say that this is the one most closely related to him.

LG GD510 Cookie Pep Lands in India

The Samsung Corby range gets a compititor

It might have sold over 1 million units across the globe since its launch, but LG thought it was only now, 6 months after the international launch that they should bring the GD510 to India.

The phone will be known as the "Cookie Pep" in India - thanks to the brand value that the Cookie has in India. LG has described the GD510 as the most compact 3-inch full touchscreen handset and we agree with that. The phone, like its competitors, comes with scores of applications and social networking features - and is aimed at youngsters.

The phone offers comprehensive multimedia support and comes with 42 MB of internal memory - expandable up to 8GB using microSD cards. There's a decent 3-megapixel camera that is also capable of capturing videos as well. The phone has a solo back lit button on the face that works as the menu, end or cancel key, depending on the phone's mode. The LG Cookie Pep is fashioned from brushed aluminum adding to its sleek look.

LG has roped in Bollywood stars John Abraham, Genelia D'Souza and Abhay Deol as brand ambassadors for the Cookie Pep. LG Cookie Pep is priced at Rs. 7,799 and is on sale right now across the country. At this price, this should turn out to be a good competitor to the entire Samsung Corby range - which seems to be its main rival.
