The LVFF Screened "Raze" the Movie with Zoe Bell, July 20, 2013 - Tidbits and Teasers

The Sixth Annual Las Vegas Film Festival was held at the LVH (Las Vegas Hotel) last weekend from July 18-21, 2013. The LVFF included film screenings, an award ceremony, panel discussions, mixers, and after parties, among many other events. The star-studded red carpet was busy all weekend. One such celebrity that our magazine has interviewed at length is Tonya Kay. Kay was in town from L.A. on Saturday for the 6pm showing of Raze by Director Josh C. Waller. The female heavy film includes A-List stunt woman who are trapped in a bunker after being kidnapped. Tonya Kay (Alex) is featured fighting in a hand-to-hand combat scene to the death with stellar stunt woman Zoe Bell (Sabrina). Bell is a favorite of Quentin Tarantino, a New Zealander, and a revered female stunt woman. I'm sad to not have seen the screening, but look forward to other chances. The premise of the story isn't too new, but the fact that's it's all women fighting is, and the cast can't be beat. Raze premiered at TriBeCa 2013 and sold North American Rights to IFC Midnight.

I asked Tonya Kay what it was like working with such a stellar stunt actor in Zoe Bell. Here is what she came up with. "Fighting Zoe Bell in Raze was an exhaustingly amazing experience. Zoe is Quentin Tarantino's' favored stunt woman. Zoe is an athlete with amazing grace disguised as violence. Our fight was a 13 hour dance of bruises and battle - I find it beautiful how stunt fighting looks like aggression but on set, it is us carefully protecting each other by knowing the exact boundaries of each others' bodies. Spoiler: the prop master had to make vegan dirt for our fight scene out of respect for my dietary choices".

24 hr.Vegas Strip Club Opens Day Club "Sapphire Pool", Cinco De Mayo Wknd. 2013

The largest topless strip club in the world just got larger, and it decided to go outside to expand. The club was 70,000 feet before and boasts topless dancers, and an all male review for the ladies in a separate showroom. It even has a comedy and variety show. Several stages, 400 entertainers and open 24 hours, many could ask how that could be improved. Enter the great outdoors. The $8 million day club is pretty swanky. The cabanas are lush and plenty. Comfort? Yes. Completely separate but visible VIP? Yes. On-site grill, tons of shower fountains and also lovely water falls mixed with a full bar and amazing service will obviously be one of the hottest new and lasting clubs in Las Vegas. The 800 capacity pool area will be a go-to spot, especially after the launch they have planned. What sets it apart? Dancers are not necessarily doing lap dances, but they will be making new friends and lounging at the pool in their off times says Shai Cohen one of the organ...

The Amazing Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar Containing the "Mother"

  Here we are again. 100 years since the last pandemic, not much in science has changed: wear a mask, social distance and so forth. That's all they could tell us until the preventative vaccines came along, and even they hold no guarantees. Harkening back to what works I have recently stumbled upon an amazing natural food remedy that has pretty much changed my life. It's just fermented fruit at its core, pun intended, and it's just apples.
