FIFTY ON FRIDAY RETURNS – VILLAGE VOICE FEB 24, 1974

BySpicy Goldman

It’s been hard to believe that it’s been almost two full years since we’ve done a FIFTY ON FRIDAYS post. We initially thought we may have lost one or two in the hacking episode we’re still recovering from1, but after further review of our files it turns out the last time we did one was…

FIFTY ON FRIDAY – CHRISTMAS EVE 1971 – NYC

BySpicy Goldman

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…

FIFTY ON FRIDAYS – JUNE 18, 1971 – NY Times

BySpicy Goldman

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…

NEW YORK ADULT ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE Vol 1 Num 1 – 1984

BySpicy Goldman

The following is a scanned copy (visuals and text transcript) of the NEW YORK ADULT ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE, Volume 1 Number 1 from 1984. This is a fascinating time-capsule of the seedier side of New York City (mainly Manhattan, and typically mainly Mid-Town) in the decade before the Big Mouse started sniffing around town. I don’t…

FIFTY ON FRIDAYS – January 15, 1971 – NEW YORK CITY

BySpicy Goldman

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.

FIFTY ON FRIDAYS – December 4, 1979 – NY DAILY NEWS

BySpicy Goldman

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…

FIFTY ON FRIDAYS – September 18, 1970 – NY DAILY NEWS

BySpicy Goldman

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…

OLGA LA BLANCHE – TAKE 2

BySpicy Goldman

One of the earlier posts from Capri Show World was based on a single ad in the New York Daily News from December 13, 1971 and the two burlesque dancers featured, Gina Bon Bon and Olga La Blanche. There is a wealth of information on Gina and the post wound up centering on her bio…

LABOR DAY NYC 1970 – ANOTHER PLACE ANOTHER TIME

BySpicy Goldman

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,…
