When it comes to growing his real estate business, Robert Gawel will try just about anything.

Even if it means showing the world photos from his days as an erotic dancer.

It paid off. Gawel, owner of Alexa Realty in Clearwater, was named the country's sexiest male Realtor by the TBWS Daily Show, a popular video blog about the real estate industry.

Gawel and his office manager, Petra Byers, were among 63 men and 78 women entered in the show's 2011 Sexy Fest. They thought it would help promote their own video blog at AlexaRealty411.com and, ultimately, grow business.

"You have to look at creative ways these days, even if it means pimping yourself out,'' he said, laughing.

Besides, the prize was too good to pass up. Daily Show hosts Frank Garay and Brian Stevens will shoot an episode from the winners' offices and host a video marketing workshop in the winners' cities.

Gawel received 32,780 votes in the contest, which ended Oct. 15. Byers, 28, came in third with 2,643. They and other top vote-getters will appear on a 2012 calendar to benefit a Portland mortgage broker recently diagnosed with brain cancer.

They're not breaking up. If you haven't been in a marriage for more than 10 years yourself you have no idea what its like. My husband and I have been together just as long and that's exactly how we look when we walk out of a restaurant together. Just because we're not all over each other and grinning from ear to ear doesn't mean we're breaking up either.

If they were only together for a year or two, yea I'd say they might have a problem. But after what? 12 years.. They look normal to me. If they were acting like 2 lovebirds after this long, then I'd assume something wasn't right....

I am very pleased to announce that nationally known comedian, Rene' Bray, will be joining me on "Eastside Now!" August 4, 2010. Rene' is a friend of mine who originally hails from Wilmington, Ohio, which is my hometown. She has been a successful stand up comedian for many years, and continually uses her celebrity to assist charitable organizations. Rene' has agreed to co-host my show for the entire 11-1 time slot, and will be sharing details of her latest goodwill tour to benefit "Lawyers for Warriors".
