The Capri Show World highly recommends the latest edition of the Adventures in Sound, a radio show which airs on KOOP Radio (91.7 FM and koop.org) on Saturdays, 1 to 2 p.m. (CST), out of Austin, TX. Denis Campa, half of the team behind the Texsploitation Movement, is the host, and Denis had Doris Wishman…
Those frequent guests of The Capri Show World Center, all two or three of you, might have noticed a lack new content over the last several weeks. OK, so we’re not exactly known for a full-throttle wide-open fire hose velocity of new content, but for once there is a somewhat reasonable excuse for not posting…
Uncle Spicy has a favorite joke that goes something like this (it’s better heard than read btw): Two old Jewish guys were sitting on the park bench feeding the birds and waiting to die. A scraggly old lady wearing too much makeup, a gallon of perfume, and dressed in a long fur coat down to…
This weekend we finally go around to building a YouTube channel for the Capri Show World Center. We’ve uploaded a few vids already, and we’ll be doing more on a (hopefully) regular basis moving forward. Now don’t get too excited, we won’t be showing any naughty stuff, the YouTube folks don’t go for any of…
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…
This edition of our London SOHO series comes from the pages of the October 1960 mid-century men’s magazine ACE. And we get what appears to be a nice glimpse into the Panama Club, which was at 41 Great Windmill Street. The following is the pictures and text ftom this issue, and a then-and-now view of…
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…
