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…
For anyone who’s watched more than a casual sampling of early 1970’s Southern California smut you would be forgiven for, from time to time, feeling like you’ve been smacked in the face with a major case of deja vu. And not just because you start seeing the same performers in every other film (you do),…
It’s safe to say that, not unlike the films themselves, the number of lost and forgotten actors and actresses from the early days of underground and sexploitation outnumber those that we remember and know anything substantive about. To that point, over the last few years we here at the Capri Show World Center have been…
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…
It’s that time again, another Birthday for the Capri Show World website! This time we look back to another birthday party from the early 1970s for one of the employees at the Capri Show World Center. We’re not sure who’s birthday it actually was, nor if everyone here even worked for Capri Show World at…
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…
Here’s wishing you and yours a Happy Holiday Season, from Busty Brown and the entire Capri Show World gang!
Today we’ll be digging in to one of the great burlesque starlets of the 1950s, Busty Brown. And to begin with we dredged up an article by Paul V. Coates, who was known for his “Confidential”-style columns in the 1940s and 1950s, in which he conveys an in-person meeting with Ms Brown herself… Paul V….
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!
For Black Friday 2020 Vinegar Syndrome offered a VS branded ViewMaster along with a reel of 3D scenes from their release of SILENT MADNESS, and of course I had to grab one. Also this year VS put out another ViewMaster reel of scenes from SEX WORLD. This of course got me thinking… Remembering David Friedman’s…
We’re back in London’s swinging SOHO again, this time courtesy of Cabaret Queens Quarterly Vol 816 from Summer 1968, which gives us a glimpse into the club Pigalle. Named for the red light district in Paris, this was possibly the same Pigalle that was more of a supper club earlier in the decade and which…
In this installment of The Bat Pussy Files we’re going to the very periphery of what could be considered BP related, and we make no suggestions this has anything to do with Bat Pussy, Dora, Buddy, or SAM. But hey, a little Click Bait never hurt anyone, right? Found in the May 15, 1970 Los…
