be won -- and a good time to be had -- next Saturday night at Horseshoe Bay Beach.

The 4x4 Beach Party Explosion (this years's is the third annual party) will feature music, personalities -- and swimsuited babes from "Hotlanta'' and Bermuda.

If you've got the form and can shake it in a swimsuit, there's a $1,000 first prize waiting for you at the Beach Explosion.

Second prize will be $500, with $250 for third. The audience does the judging, so if you're planning on entering the competition, bring a lot of friends.

"It's just a big old party,'' explained a spokeman for T.O.C. Productions.

"It's summer. It's hot. People want to get outside and socialise.

"We've got DJ Wiz coming in from Atlanta and Bermuda's Playbwoy Outlaw Movement. Then there will be Jugglin' Jason and J. Rodigon.

"There's going to be some fine sounds for the ears and some even finer sights for the eyes.'' Entry forms for the swimsuit competition are available from China Black Boutique. Tickets for the Beach Party, priced at $30, are available from Dub City and 27th Century Boutique.

"The music will be reggae, soca, R&B, hip hop,'' the spokesman said.

"One way and another, if this year's party is like last year's, it will be a night to remember.''
