Vintage ad for the Big Top Theater, which played during the New York City based Emerald City show on July 2, 1977. The Big Top Theater was part of the same conglomeration of adult establishment on the corner of Broadway and 49th Street, which included the New World Theatre, the Circus Cinema, a burlesk joint upstairs, and The Video Shack, with the Kitty Kat, Mardi Gras, and Pussycat Theatres across the street.

THE FILTH SHOP (1969) (X) – nsfw-ish
The following is based on a recent post I made on the Something Weird Video Facebook group, which in effect is a review of the SWV release of THE FILTH SHOP (1969) and two of the other shorts on that “disk”. I’ve kept it mostly intact, although I do add some location-specific pictures and a…

FIFTY ON FRIDAYS – September 18, 1970 – NY DAILY NEWS
From time to time on Fridays we’ll be posting things that happened exactly 50 years previously (we say “from time to time” because we know ourselves to well to commit to every week). These will typically focus on something in the Smut World, more often than not ads for films and shows in a particular…

FIFTY ON FRIDAYS – December 4, 1979 – NY DAILY NEWS
Today’s edition of Fifty on Fridays we go back to New York City on December 4, 1970, which was a rather warm (for December in NY) 50 F, so I would bet the Christmas shopping was in full swing, and the tired and frustrated husbands might be sneaking away from an hours long marathon spree…
FAUX BOYCE – NSFW
I was perusing the pages of the September 1969 edition of SWANK and ran into a somewhat confusing anomaly in the “A Woman For All Seasons” spread, which begins with: Linda Boyce believes city living breeds miseries. She’s a country girl and wants always to live close to the trees and fields. Linda Boyce is…

FIFTY ON FRIDAY – FEBRUARY 5, 1971 – MIAMI, FL
This week we’re down in sunny Florida with a selection of Adult Film ads from the Miami Herald on February 5, 1971. And while there is a surprising number of options for the raincoat crowd, the ads for them are for the most part less than overwhelming. But hey, at least you can work on…
THE SHRINE OF OUR LADY OF THE DRAGON ART
For many of you connoisseurs of smut The Dragon Art Theatre, made famous by Something Weird Video series of the same name, and the usage of the Donn Davison’s introduction to those videos (first on VHS, then DVD and DVD-R, and now also downloadable, for now…), is not an unfamiliar name. And while a certain mythos has grown up around it, I submit little is actually known of the Dragon Art Theatre itself, and what does seem to “known” is at least in part completely wrong.
