UNCLE SPICY DOES A COMMENTARY (or two)

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…

BAT PUSSY FILES – Distant Cousins

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…

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…

SOHO: PICADILLY’S PEEK-IEST REVUE – ACE – OCT 1960

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…

MONIQUE – THE GIRL IN THE PICTURE

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),…

MARIA ARNOLD – A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK

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…

FIFTY ON FRIDAYS – January 14, 1972 – Miami, FL

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…

FIFTY ON FRIDAY – CHRISTMAS EVE 1971 – NYC

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…
