Your smut trivia for the day: The first person to ever go full frontal and show pubes in the pages of Playboy magazine was not one of their typical white centerfolds of the time, but a black dancer/actress — Paula Kelly! I remember her from the first season of NIGHT COURT. She was nominated for an Emmy for that. She was also awesome as “Cleo” in TROUBLEMAN (1972) — which sports one of my fave scores of the 1970s. Some civil rights leaders objected to the fact that it was a black girl who had introduced pubic hair to the magazine; accusing the magazine of stating that black women are just playthings for white men to be titillated by. Hefner and Playboy were very sensitive to the criticism, and didn’t show any black women in the magazine for a while after that. Anyway, this is a bit of history that seems to have been forgotten (its not even mentioned on her IMDB page), so I thought I would mention it. Anyway, here’s to you, Paula! *raises drink* http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0446780/ Zoom

1970s/80s porn hardcore director Gail Palmer a few months before her 25th birthday in the CINEMA X in Lansing Michigan, in 1978. The local papers in Lansing at the time called the CINEMA X a “supermarket of sex”, as it featured magazine, movie and sex toy sales, a games room with pool and pinball, nude shoeshines, a porn theater and live burlesque shows. Palmer managed the CINEMA X, and gave customers surveys to see what they wanted. “Better quality sex movies” was one of the most popular requests, which is when, as the story goes, she first got the idea to star making her own. That first film was the XXX roughie-grindhouse classic that Quentin Tarantino sites as one of the greatest porn films of all time, HOT SUMMER IN THE CITY (1976). In actuality Gail was more of a front woman hired by Caribbean films to pose as the face of their company, and probably didn’t have that much to do with directing their movies, many of which were actually spearheaded by Bob Chinn.

The brainchild of Vivian Forlander, SEXPO 1982 nearly didn’t happen because none of the exhibition halls in New York at the time wanted to allow a sex-themed trade show to take place on their property. But after 2 years of fighting for her project, a 20,000 square foot loft space that had formerly been a disco was found and utilized.

On the first day of Sexpo 1982 attendees were treated to an erotic fashion show featuring porn starlets Candida Royalle, Marlene Willoughby, and Velvet Sommers. Also appearing as guest speakers were directors Chuck Vincent and Gerard Damiano.

Women Against Porn showed up and tried to shut the show down with a protest, but were unsuccessful. However, the New York Police dept soon showed up, and arrested and handcuffed 8 people even though nothing illegal was being sold. The next morning, despite having been paid the $27,000 rent money up front, the owners of the building padlocked the doors shut, and then the police came and arrested Vivian and her collaborators for protesting the closure by chaining themselves to the padlocked doors. The final two days of the show were cancelled.

Did you know people wore hoodies in 1959 that look just like the ones we wear now? I sure didn’t! Here’s the proof! (From SIZZLE #1. Published by Spice Publications — located in Hollywood California) Zoom

SIZZLE #1 (1959) details a protest by 14 burlesque dancers in Los Angeles, when the local newspapers put a ban on sexy photos in the paper for any “strip club, night club or cafe” to advertise the services of the girls, saying “only heads and shoulders” can be shown, even while other businesses could advertise with full figure shots of lovely ladies to sell their wares. DOG GONE IT! T’AINT FAIR!

Thanks to my pal Lou giving me the heads-up, I managed to get my sticky little perv-paws on a mag that I always said I would snag if I ever saw it for sale somewhere — the rare first issue of SIZZLE #1 (1959)! And I found it here in Vancouver not a mile from my own abode — and for a mere $15!! WOWZERS! Total score. Zoom

I want these glasses so bad.

Also: This kind of van customizing needs to come back into fashion. Hell, vans themselves need to come back into fashion.
