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.

LABOR DAY NYC 1970 – ANOTHER PLACE ANOTHER TIME
Today, September 7, 2020, is Labor Day in the United States, and fifty years ago September 7, 1970, just happened to also a Labor Day. Late summer of 1970 was just at the turning point towards full hardcore for adult films, and this was just beginning to penetrate NYC at this point (no pun intended,…

This week we’re down in sunny, and warm, Miami, Florida, and in addition to the increasingly hardcore fare on the silver screens, somewhat surprisingly vintage burlesque is still incredibly popular! We have the Place Pigalle on Collins at 22nd St, with “Sauci Comedienne” Pearl Williams (she performed for 18 years at the PP!) and Comedy…

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).

Gina and Olga – Bon-Bon and LaBlanche
One evening last week I was doing research on a potentially lost film from 1971, and while I was searching for ads in the New York Daily news I came across one for the 42nd Street Playhouse Burlesk (a New Era/Seymor Domoor joint) that caught my eye (as those types of ads a prone to…
FIFTY ON FRIDAY – APRIL 14, 1972 – Tallahassee, FL
This week we’re taking a little different angle on Fifty on Friday. Instead of one of America’s great metropolises we’re down in shady Tallahassee, FL. And why might you ask? Well, fifty years ago today, in a small former restaurant location, just across from the Florida State University campus, a brand new storefront adult mini-theater…
