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…
After a bit of a break we’re back this week down in sunny Florida again, this time on the Gulf Coast in the Tampa/St. Pete area, where the screens were definitely warming up. It’s interesting to look back now and realize that you could go to a regular family oriented shopping mall, in this case…
It’s a fairly light set of ads this week, perhaps the theatre managers knew that the folks who would be venturing out over the Christmas weekend were going to do that regardless of what was playing, so why waste the advertising dough. But we do get to see our old friend Capri Sam! In any…
This week we swing down south to Atlanta and a slate of new films and theaters to explore. So as they say down there, ya’ll come!
This week we’re back on the West Coast with a sampling of ads from the Los Angeles Free Press, aka the FREEP, for the week of October 7 – 13, 1971. The FREEP being an underground newspaper it also ran (a lot) of ads for other things, not the least of which were modeling and…
Once again we’re back in NYC, and we have a rather big surprise in our line up: an Andy Milligan play! Yes, at the Jewel Theater we had Milligan’s SECTION 8, which may or may not have been a semi-autobiographical story about his time in the military, and his eventual ousting from it. The script…
This week we head off to the west coast and delve into the Los Angeles Free Press, also known as the FREEP, which a paper that would eventually be almost fully consumed by sex ads. But in 1971 there was still a large amount of journalism still going on. However we’re only interested in the…
As February 1971 came to a close screens in New York City were just starting to heat up, with such films a ADULTERY FOR FUN AND PROFIT, MONA, and JOHNNY WAD on the menu. Today’s selection of Adult Film adverting is gain from the NY Daily News. As always, enjoy.–Spicy
This week we’re back in New York City (surprise, surprise) and it seems to be a rather slim-pickings week, at least based on the ads (perhaps this is an indication that hotter stuff was being shown but not yet advertised). As always, enjoy.
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…
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…
