Hey look another Podcast within a month of the last one! You see, I keep some (if not any) promises. No need to thank me, clicking on that "Demand more" button is all the thanks I need. Or cash. Cash pays for shit. Cash motivates. Cash is cold and hard, just like some of the women in this podcast. So sit back and put your feet up on the one you love because you are about to enter the realm of woman.

Backmasking in Rock music has always interested me. Maybe because even at a young age *I* even thought it was a bunch of bullshit. I found an old radio clip discussing what rock music's hidden messages to young unsuspecting children is, and got a little chuckle listening to it. Toss in some tasty tunes and here you go. Podcast #67. Now that the holiday show has ended it's run, I am going to try to stay on top of this podcast more. So, until April... (heh heh)

 Hello friends and lovers....Okay, so here it is... Don't remind me it has been a couple months since the last Peek-A-Boo Podcast but, and I ain't gonna lie -that's just not my style, but, I got abducted by aliens... no? Okay, the workload over at The Peek-A-Boo Revue has amped up a little bit with some extra added shows before our big "Holiday Spectacular" tour launching in December. One of which is that on November 13th, The Burlesque Legend SATAN'S ANGEL, along with The Peek-a-Boo Revue will be performing at The Trocadero! So we are kind of rehearsing for 2 shows, a wedding and a sweet 16 party I think. Or is it a briss? But the bottom line is that it had just been busy as balls. But I think about you from time to time. The Holiday show is shaping up nicely though, when December hit's we'll all be trucking up to Jim Thorpe, PA to the Mauch Chunk Opera House December 3rd, Roxy & Dukes in Dunellen, NJ - December 4th as well as World Cafe Live in Philly on the 17th. So if you are around come and say hello in person. Seems I have been doing most of the chatting between us don't you agree? I know what else you'll agree with is that this little podcast will devour 79 minutes of your life which you can only get back in person. See? Now you have TWO reasons to say hello. So until then....

Hello there! Come on in! We've got a nice treat for you. Our very own Million-Dollar Mincemeat with lots of go-go goodness and a strange track called THE HITCHHIKER. No clue on this. It came up while I was listening to my music library on shuffle and thought 'what the hell is this?' I am not sure where it is from or how I had obtained it. I wish I knew. Probably some rique movie that the recording came from back when you had to sync up film and audio. You know, "the good ole days..." Probably from WFMU. Love that site.


As with many of these podcasts, no real theme going on just a bunch of music that The Peek-a-Boo Revue has used in a show or just damn good music. Burlesque really has no main sound anymore. It is what you want it to be and how you envision ideas in your head. This is what we like.
Thanks for listening and enjoy our pie. - Joey

Quirky VINTAGE

Hello Friends and Lovers, this newest episode of The Peek-a-Boo Podcast has both 'Quirky' AND 'Vintage' with an extra helping of "Quirky Vintage - Upbeat nostalgia for tv and advertising! from Paul Reeves" slathered on top ...just because. I have been listening to more of these vintage styled tunes for The Peek-A-Boo Show so it was only natural that a small collection had been aquired of some time. So what better way to enjoy the podcast is to look at some old pin-ups from 1920 via the Vintage Gal!

Boys, Boys, BOYS! Time for boys! Have a listen you what your grandfather probably played for your Dad when he was a young boy, ready, to become a MAN... I'm sure everything turned out juuuust fine. Lucky you, this is the second installment of the Dr. Sims Educational series on how to talk to your Son about sex; circa 1965. Well, he'll chat about all the good parts and YOUR job was to point at the images in the book that came accompanied it. And you know what, I just realized that there isn't one damn penis song in it. Well damn, I must be slipping on the low brow material. That being said I think this is a little creepy myself. Just for the mere fact that it is house call?? Man those were the days...

Alberto Vargas 
(9 February 1896 – 30 December 1982) was a noted Peruvian painter of pin-up girls. He is often considered one of the most famous of the pin-up artists. Numerous of the original Vargas paintings have sold for tens of thousands of dollars.

That's one of 'em right there. Pretty sweet stuff there.  ...I got nothin really to comment on about this podcast -Oh! uhm... yeah, nothin. BUT, what I CAN say is that it has NOTHING to do with Vargas at all! Couple songs on here I have thought about doing in the show... Maybe in July. Can ya guess which ones? Oh come on....

Bare facts about BURLESQUE - National Police Gazette 1949
Clean
November 11, 2008 07:04 AM PST
itunes pic

The National Police Gazette was probably the most successful of the men's magazines of the nineteeth century United States. It was founded in 1845 by journalist George Wilkes and lawyer Enoch Camp as a sort of true crime/America's Most Wanted periodical; it told the stories of crime and misbehavior with information about the alleged offenders such as names, aliases, physical descriptions.

In 1877, Richard Kyle Fox became publisher of the magazine after a few years selling ads and then becoming the business manager. He came up with the idea of selling cheap subscriptions to saloon keepers, barbers, hotel managers, and other places where multiple readers would encounter the magazine. He also made the Gazette stand out from its competing scandal sheets by printing it on pink paper. The illustrations started to include pictures of female burlesque and vaudeville performers in revealing poses, instead of just pictures to accompany stories.

The Gazette's success under Fox was huge. By 1885, its advertising rates were the same as such popular magazines as Ladies Home Journal, and Fox claimed each weekly issue was read by a million readers. Subscriptions were about a sixth of that number, but it doesn't seem too unlikely that each issue going to a barbershop or saloon was read by a large number of people. Fox tried to start other magazines, but none came close to matching the Gazette's success. But the Gazette had made Fox a millionaire. Thomas Edison was a regular reader, and later James Joyce made reference to the magazine in Ulysses.

By the 1920s, though, saloons were closed by Prohibition and barbershops were becoming more unisex as flappers came in to get their hair bobbed -- not a place where such a male-oriented magazine was so welcome. Fox died in 1922; his organization kept on for another decade before selling the magazine. Many other girlie mags, sports, and tabloids had sprouted as competition to the Gazette's success. By the 1950s, glossier periodicals such as Esquire, Sports Illustrated, and Playboy had stole even more of its audience. The magazine was still published throughout much of the twentieth century, with headlines such as "Exposed -- The Dope Racket That Killed Marilyn Monroe!" (1962) and "UFOs: A Message from Our Past?" (1975). 1982 is the last year I can find any reference to the magazine, but a run from 1848 to then is still quite impressive, even if the issues of the 1900s never reached the success of the 1880s and 1890s.

Too Bad you Don't Want Me
February 17, 2011 07:07 PM PST

Okay so I made this little mini podcast to add a little extra flair to our Event Page promoting the upcoming World Cafe Live Show. This was before PodOmatic decided to unveil their newest creation "The Minicast" basically allowing you to podcast, post and promote. I added that mini-podcast to the second half of this current podcast because little did I know that hardly anyone ever looks at the event page and I was desperate. I feel like a jilted lover...not wanted. So from now on it's the Minicast for all the promotin crap for me! You win this round PodOmatic.... But I haven't forgotten about YOU -look at me now coming back to your loving ears. Did you miss me?

The Night they raided Minsky's
January 15, 2009 04:38 PM PST
itunes pic

AbeMinsky launched a New York business in 1908 with a Lower East Side nickelodeon showing racy films. His own father shut him down and bought the National Winter Garden on Houston Street, which had a theater inconveniently located on the sixth floor. He gave the theater to Abe and his brothers Billy and Herbert. At first they tried showing respectable films but could not compete with the large theater chains. The Minskys tried to bolster their shows by bringing in vaudeville performers, but could not afford good acts.

Then they considered burlesque. Burlesque acts were cheaper, and circuits (called "wheels") supplied a new show every week, complete with cast, costumes and scenery. There was the Columbia Wheel, the American Wheel, and the Mutual Wheel. Burlesque during this period was clean; a fourth wheel, the Independent, actually went bankrupt in 1916 after refusing to clean up its act. The Minskys briefly considered signing with a wheel but decided to stage their own shows because it was cheaper and Billy Minsky longed to be the next Florenz Ziegfeld.

But Minsky's clientèle of poor immigrants had not been taught to appreciate clean burlesque, and the Minskys were not about to teach them. Plus, their audience needed a compelling reason to trek up to a sixth-floor theater. Billy realized that success in burlesque depended on how the girls were featured. Abe, who had been to Paris and the Folies Bergère and Moulin Rouge, suggested importing one of their trademarks: a runway to bring the girls out into the audience. The theater was reconfigured, and the Minskys were the first to feature a runway in the United States. Billy had the sign out front changed to "Burlesque As You Like It – Not a Family Show," and the Minskys were on their way.

The Great Depression ushered in the greatest era for burlesque, and Minsky burlesque in particular. Few could afford to attend expensive Broadway shows, yet people craved entertainment. Furthermore, there now seemed to be an unlimited supply of unemployed pretty girls who considered the steady work offered by burlesque. By the time they finished expanding, the various Minskys controlled over a dozen theaters – six in New York and others in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Albany, and Pittsburgh. They even formed their own "wheel."

All Women are BAD
January 09, 2011 04:31 PM PST
itunes pic

Medical science has known this for years but now here’s the picture that proves it!

When a door-to-door salesman (whose mental state is already in question) finds his wife, Leila, in bed with another man, he heads straight to Manhattan: “Somewhere in the crowd in the big city, I’ll find another woman!” His search takes him to a keyhole in a boarding house where he watches a woman artist sketching a naked man with a hairy ass: “I know these women! They’re just like my wife!” True! The moment the artist starts to have sex with the guy, she turns into his wife! (And though all women are bad, some of them sure wear great eye makeup.)

After visiting a bar with naked dancers and lesbians, the salesman spies on an outrageously swishy homosexy-ual (LARRY HUNTER) putting the moves on another guy who, inexplicably, also changes into Leila: “Was I to see her enjoying herself everywhere?” He watches hippies (with fake beards and wigs) getting high, one of whom, surprise, surprise, looks just the Mrs.: “I don’t like these women! They’re bad! Evil! Degenerate!”

Then things turn “Olga,” as two women rough up a third with a little old-fashioned bondage. Another gal is seen naked and tied up on a couch as pleasant cocktail music plays, and a gal in shackles is violently whipped by a grinning thug: “See what I mean about women? The things they drive a man to!”

Suddenly, our hero finds himself in a strait-jacket feeling “a bulging and tightness that was unnatural!” He opens the jacket to discover he’s grown a pair of tits! His wife’s tits! “Was I to be burdened with a grotesque woman’s bosom for the rest of my life?” Apparently not because the next day, sans breasts, he watches a gal strip for a theatrical agent (pre-Deep Throat director GERARD DAMIANO), then sees a bizarre old geezer tickle her with feathers: “She drove him to it! You see? All women are bad!”

Finally, “deep in the bowels of the city,” he witnesses an “evil night creature” (dressed like a vampire) climb into a coffin and hump the corpse who, naturally, turns out to be (who else?) his wife...

One of the most bizarre New York nudies ever made and, of course, all true, all filmed as it actually happened. The trailer says it best: “All Women Are Bad! I ought to know... I’m a man!”

Welp ,it's getting close to my favorite time of the year...Thanksgiving. That's right. But I guess you could say it's a tie, really, between Halloween AND Thanksgiving. If you would have asked me 10 years ago and I would have said Halloween without pause but Thanksgiving is all about 'thanks'. And I gots A LOT of thanks to many people in my life. People who have inspired me and have taught me many, many lessons. Especially in the Peek-A-Boo Revue where it is practically Halloween every month! What I love the most about the Halloween Season is the merchandise. I always love grabbing some %50 - %75 off costumes after Halloween & stock up on makeup that will last me for the rest of the year until next season. You can't beat it! 

I still have friends who go out trick-or-treating. Seriously. No, they have no kids. They just love to dress up and hit the neighborhood. When I was younger this was what I lived for. But I always thought, once you got old enough to drive yourself to the store and buy candy, Halloween wasn't the same. Plus this was about the time I started to religiously go to The Rocky Horror Picture Show and performing every Friday & Saturday night with "The Transducer Players" of South Jersey. This is where I met my co-host/partner-in-crime of The Peek-A-Boo Revue Scott Johnston aka Count Scotchula. Wow, its been like 20+ years ago. Within this time our friendship has turned into brotherhood. And being an only child always wanting a sibling or two I give thanks to our relationship. And the 20+Peek-A-Boo members that I consider family... Always taking the good with the bad. Mainly good.


So I tribute this podcast to them. And to my new friends here on Pod0matic. Especially Mr A. The Barber over at yougotgoodtaste.podomatic.com who has quickly become someone I respect for his diverse, sick music for weirdos.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN and thanks....

Here it is folks, yet another episode of The Peek-A-Boo Podcast: "SEX BEAT:The Education of Betty" which when I started was going to be titled 'What's THAT down there, Doctor?" Featuring audio from an old sex ed album where a Doctor actually made house calls and discussed sex education with your children because you as a parent aren't qualified whatsoever to DARE speak to your child about such complicated subjects. Be wary folks, this won't be the first of these Sex Ed albums to penetrate your ear holes. We have PLENTY! Speaking of plenty, this podcast has it all. Thai go-go, bawdy ditties and some oh so moist instrumentals.

...Yeah? Who you callin' lazy? Okay, it's been awhile since my last podcast. But I have an almost believable excuse! I just have been just busy and...well, ...to tell you the truth,  I started playing around with motion graphics to incorporate into The Peek-A-Boo Revue Show. I think it really raises the bar for the show. And gives me an excuse to learn new software for my professional portfolio and an audience to test it out on. I only did one video so far that opened up the past 2 shows. Not bad for a first effort. So during this time learning,  I had been picking away at this episode here, which consisted of alot of music & 'extras' that for some reason or another I pulled out of previous podcasts. These clips somehow started taking form into an episode of their own.

So here it is, a nice big helping of previous unreleased material from podcasts gone by that I didn't think for some reason was good enough for your ears the first time around, but yet have matured and fermented in an old file marked 'whatever' to deliver some Peek-A-Boo Revue's most ear delicious episode -  'Sloppy Seconds' (wiz wit).

Let's not fight about this,

Jennie "The Bazoom Girl" Lee, Founder of The Exotic World Burlesque Hall of Fame & Nostalgia Museum

Burlesque Hall of Fame


The Exotic World Burlesque Hall of Fame and Nostalgia Museum is a non-profit organization in operation since 1980.  It was founded by the late exotic dancer Jennie "The Bazoom Girl" Lee Arroyo, whose credits included a regular column called "Who's Who in Burly Q" appearing in the centerfold of the popular 1940s tabloid Hollywood Confidential.  The feature showcased photos of the burlesque stars and Arroyo's own responses to questions from fans.  

She later left Hollywood and opened her own nightclub in San Pedro called The Sassy Lassy. This is about when Jennie started collecting burlesque memorabilia. The club operated into the mid 70s.  With her health declining, she sold her nightclub and bought land in the high desert.  It was then that friend Dixie Lee Evans, a burlesque star of the 50s came to nurse the ailing Arroyo and the idea for a museum was born.

Dixie Evans, famously known as the 'Marilyn Monroe of burlesque', transformed what were
once goat sheds into thirteen rooms of exhibits. Inside the walls are filled with photographs and playbills of busty strippers from days gone by, and a wealth of memorabilia, including, pasties, lip-prints, and even the jewel-encrusted g-strings of such Burlesque legends as Blaze Starr, Lili St. Cyr, Candy Barr and Chesty Morgan; as well as Sally Rand's ivory-handled fans, Gypsy Rose Lee's glove collection, Jayne Mansfield's heart-shaped couch, and even the ashes of Miss Sheri Champagne, one of Burley-Q's all-time greats. Also displayed is a nude velvet painting of Farrah Fawcett, and the ashes of The Bazoom Girl herself, Jennie Lee, the founder of Exotic World.

Lee intended to create a burlesque museum, found a burlesque school and run a bed and breakfast, and the goat farm site had enough room to contain her growing collection. Only the museum got started within her lifetime.

After Lee died in 1990, Dixie Evans took over the farm and turned it into the Exotic World Burlesque Museum, aided by Lee's widower, Charlie Arroyo. Lee's memorabilia formed the core of the collection, but people from around the world soon started to donate items to Exotic World. The collection grew large enough to fill the entire farm. A famously close-knit bunch, retired Burlesque stars often drop in unannounced from parts unknown. As Dixie Evans says, "The girls love coming by. They enjoy knowing that someone cares about preserving their work."

Dixie Evans initiated the Miss Exotic World pageant in 1990 as a way to draw people to the museum. She garnered attention by sending out a press release claiming that "Lili St. Cyr, Tempest Storm, Blaze Starr and 30 other alumni of burlesque will all be invited to attend this reunion." While technically true, none of those invitees attended that year. However, the release garnered press attention for the pageant, which was successful enough to become an annual event.

The Miss Exotic World Pageant is an annual burlesque pageant and convention, and is the annual showcase event (and fundraiser for) the Burlesque Hall of Fame. The pageant, sometimes referred to as the "Miss America of Burlesque," attracts former burlesque queens from past decades, as well as current participants of the neo-burlesque scene. The pageant consists of burlesque performances spanning a weekend, culminating with the competition to crown a single performer as Miss Exotic World. Because of the significance of the
Exotic World Burlesque Museum to the burlesque community, winning the pageant is considered a top honor for a burlesque p erformer.

Gypsy Rose Lee Remembers Burlesque

Gypsy Rose Lee, the legendary woman who told the police during a raid at the famous Minsky's burlesque house, "I wasn't naked. I was completely covered by a blue spotlight." was known as "The most publicized women in the world." Gypsy Rose Lee was one of the most famous strippers of all time. She received more free press than anyone in the business. Was also a movie actress and Author.

She first came on the scene as a child when she and her sister June Hovick in a small time act called "Dainty June and her newsboy songsters." and later "Madame Rose and her dancing daughters." Later Gypsy would have her own dancing act called "Rose Louise and Her Hollywood Blondes."

According to Wikipedia,

Gypsy Rose Lee was born Rose Louise Hovick in Seattle, Washington in 1911, although her mother later shaved three years off both of her daughters' ages. She was initially known by her middle name, Louise…  Louise's singing and dancing talents were insufficient to sustain the act without [her sister] June. Eventually, it became apparent that Louise could make money in burlesque, which earned her legendary status as a classy and witty strip tease artist. Her innovations were an almost casual strip style, compared to the herky-jerky styles of most burlesque strippers (she emphasized the "tease" in "striptease") and she brought a sharp sense of humor into her act as well. She became as famous for her onstage wit as for her strip style, and—changing her stage name to Gypsy Rose Lee—she became one of the biggest stars of Minsky's Burlesque, where she performed for four years.

Eventually she married up into the world of Hollywood, even fathering one of Otto Preminger's children.  In films like Ali Baba Goes to Town (1937),Battle of Broadway (1938), Stage Door Canteen (1943), and Belle of the Yukon (1944), she acted alongside such venerable personae as Victor McLaglen, Randolph Scott, Tallulah Bankhead and Katherine Hepburn; and, in B-movie thrillers like the lurid Screaming Mimi (1958), opposite less respectable actors like Phil Carey and Anita Ekberg--still, at the age of 47, trying to belt out a rather painful-sounding "Put the Blame on Mame."  She seems to have played  exclusively either dancers or nightclub owners, often with jazz artists like Raymond Scott or Red Norvo providing the pulsating soundtracks.  Owing to her literary reputation as the author of The G-String Murders and Mother Finds a Body, she portrayed herself as an intellectual among strippers, an attractive notion still being "fleshed" out today in books by Chris Kraus and the latest episodes of Desperate Housewives.  Watch her rather tame appearance in Stage Door Canteen, as she lectures the audience on art and culture in a full Victorian gown while subtly removing stockings and garter.

After years of marginal status, Lee's memoirs of life in the biz were turned into the 1959 musical Gypsy, a Stephen Sondheim extravaganza with Ethel Merman playing the titular character [correction: playing Gypsy's mother].  As these things usually go, the stage show became a 1962 film with Rosalind Russell and Natalie Wood; which leads me to think that this 1962 LP was most likely released in order to coincide with/capitalize off the renewed attention to Lee's autobiographical odyssey.  A true, ahem, "no rags to riches story," as the clip above phrased it.

The liner notes say it all: "You'll find yourself once again surrounded by the unique atmosphere that's become part of Americana.  Here in all their gaudy glory parade the Dolls of the Chorus, the baggy-pants Comics and the Sensational Strippers.  Set to the authentic sounds of the bumpy burly-beat pit orchestra, such realism has been captured that you'll swear you see the magenta spots and smell the powder and paint... and even the salami sandwiches!"  Though I'm not sure that the words "Americana" and "realism" should ever be included in the same breath without a tinge of irony.  The album has plenty of great moments, even some sad ones--particularly on side B, as Gypsy laments the disappearance of burlesque by asking passersby on the street if they share her sentiments.  Even the women are sad: "Pardon me madame, how do you feel about burlesque being closed up?"  "I think it's disgraceful and I'm going to write a nasty letter to the mayor."  "Why, madame?"  "Well, since they closed the burlesque theaters I have no idea where my husband is every night."

This is a no-brainer folks. Various songs about sex and what have you. Some are Double Entendre or adianoeta which is a figure of speech in which a spoken phrase is devised to be understood in either of two ways. Often the first meaning is straightforward, while the second meaning is less so: often risqué, inappropriate, or ironic. Some of these are VERY Straight forward which is ALWAYS good for some good old fashioned fun. Plus I finally get to use that sex record for parents that I have been itching to use for a year. Enjoy, and afterward we'll grab some ice cream and cake!

Eddie Davis, Eddie Cantor, Milton Berle, Jimmy Durante, Al Jolson, Jackie Gleason, and Martha Raye!

I love these kind of albums. This was probably VERY risque at the time of production but I seriously doubt it. It's supposed to be baggy pants burlesque comedy full of short stories as jokes. Some good, some bad some just plain out there. I grabbed some that I thought were 'meh'....Look, don't take MY word for it, have a listen for yourself! The episode has it all Ladies & Gents: cheese humor, Thai Go-Go, 70's Porn Music & some SMOKIN' Instrumentals that'll make you put on a little strip tease...and Radio Spots that you all love so much.

1) THE STAR: Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, silent comedy star and director

THE SCANDAL: On Labor Day weekend, 1921, the overworked Arbuckle treated himself to a holiday by checking into a hotel with a couple of male cronies and as many women as would respond to their wolf whistles.

One of them was Virginia Rappe, a twenty-six-year-old aspiring starlet whom Arbuckle was said to have been lusting after. Two days later, Rappe checked into a hospital and died there of complications from a ruptured bladder. Subsequently, a friend who had accompanied her to the party told police that Arbuckle had raped the girl, and Rappe's manager fanned the flames in the press. Various sources claimed Arbuckle had fatally injured Rappe by violating her with a Coke bottle, a chunk of ice, and/or his bigass self.

Although police concluded there was no evidence that Rappe had been raped, the Hearst papers flogged the public into a fury. There were calls for Arbuckle's execution, and when he was finally charged with manslaughter, somebody took a shot at his estranged wife as she was entering the courtroom to show her support. After two mistrials, the third jury acquitted Arbuckle and presented him with a letter of apology.

THE FALLOUT: Arbuckle deserved his vindication, but he was considered toxic by the studios and his onscreen career was over. A few loyal friends got him jobs as a director (under the name "William Goodrich"), but he had begun to slip into alcoholism and declined rapidly, both on the set and off. Louise Brooks later described Arbuckle after the scandal as "very nice and sweetly dead."

2) THE STARS: Thomas Ince, pioneering filmmaker and independent studio chieftain; Charles Chaplin; Marion Davies, cuddly star of silent comedies and early talkies; and her paramour, newspaper tycoon and close personal friend of the devil, William Randolph Hearst

THE SCANDAL: In November of 1924, Ince was taken ashore from Hearst's yacht, where he had been one of the celebrity guests brought together for one of Hearst's floating parties. Soon he was dead, officially of a heart attack, and the body was quickly cremated and interred. Rumors quickly sprung up that Hearst had shot his guest, but that it was all a simple misunderstanding: he had actually been gunning for Chaplin, because he suspected the beloved screen comedian and notorious womanizer of scratching on Marion Davies. One story had it that Ince had interrupted Hearst just as he was about to murder Chaplin and that the gun went off as they struggled for it; another version had Hearst mistaking Ince for Chaplin as Ince sat chatting with Davies in the moonlight. Another of Hearst's guests, Louella Parsons, was supposedly rewarded for her silence with a lifetime contract as a writer for his papers, a position that she used to promote Davies' movie career even as it was dying on the vine.

THE FALLOUT: Because of Ince's hasty burial and the confusion surrounding the whole mess, we'll probably never know for sure just what happened. Hearst inadvertently stoked the rumors through his own papers, which issued false reports about where and when Ince was supposedly taken ill and about everything else to do with the case. Others onboard the yacht, including Chaplin and Davies, also lied about whether they'd even been there -- maybe because many of the guests, Ince included, were spending the weekend with romantic partners other than their spouses -- but Hearst's enemies were eager to assume the worst. Whatever happened, "the strange death of Thomas Ince" is now officially part of the Hearst mythology; an early draft of Citizen Kane referenced it, and in 2002, Peter Bogdanovich made a movie about it called The Cat's Meow. As for Ince, he was one of the men who built Hollywood, but he remains best remembered for his death.

 


3) THE STAR: Errol Flynn, high-living action star of the 1930s and 1940s

THE SCANDAL: In 1942, a pair of underage girls charged Flynn with statutory rape. The star was picked up and tried for the crime early the next year.

THE FALLOUT: Reflecting the attitude of the times, Flynn's defense team basically argued, yeah, he did it -- wouldn't you? The high point of the trial came when Flynn's lawyer asked one of the girls if she hadn't wanted Flynn to undress her, and she replied, "I didn't have no objections." Because of the girls' ages, it shouldn't have mattered in the eyes of the law whether the sex was consensual or not, but given Flynn's rascally charisma, it apparently seemed that having any woman he liked was the movie star's honest due. Pearl Harbor had just been bombed; people had more important things to worry about. The jury quickly voted to acquit. Not only did the scandal have no negative effect on the star's career, it inspired U.S. serviceman to invent a new slang term designed to honor his sure-thing success with women: "In like Flynn."

The Curious DR. SKETCHY'S
January 10, 2010 01:41 PM PST

There are some things in life that just shouldn't be missed. Or at least experienced once.
Of that long list, one event jumps right to the forefront of my mind and it could be closer than you think. Dr. Sketchy's. Never heard of it? Well you don't know what your missin! Let's fill you in, yeah? Then start up one in your town! 

Dr. Sketchy's

Dr. Sketchy's is the little Brooklyn event that became a movement.
Founded in 2005 by artist Molly Crabapple, Dr. Sketchy's asked a
simple question. Why can't drawing naked people be sexy?

Here's their attempt at an answer.

We combed New York to find the most beautiful burlesque dancers, the most bizarre circus freaks, and the most rippling hunks of man. Then, every other Saturday, we let you draw them for three hours. Interspersed with posing are comedy skits and ridiculous drawing contests (best left handed drawing? Best incorporation of a woodland animal?) where you can win booze or prizes.

Dr. Sketchy's - Philadelphia Branch

Nicola Black Design, L.L.C. was a proud presenter of the 
Philadelphia branch of Dr. Sketchy’s from October 2007 – December 2009.  

For various reasons, after this recording back in December 2009, brought an end of Dr. Sketchy’s Philly as currently brought to you by Nicola Black Design, L.L.C. Here is Nicola’s letter to all of you who’ve had a part in Dr. Sketchy’s Philly:

I’ve been involved in Dr. Sketchy’s Philly for the past 2 years and 2 months and it’s been nothing but fun. I have met so many wonderful people and have learned so much from them. What other job would allow me to interact with so many beautiful and talented people? I have met burlesque stars, other fabulous Dr. Sketchy’s directors from around the world, artists that kick some serious ass, Dr. Sketchy’s enthusiasts that donate their time or sponsor the event with prizes… it’s been a wonderful run. The community surrounding Dr. Sketchy’s is what’s impressed me the most. Without all of you, our branch wouldn’t have become one of the most successful in the world. I consider each and every one of you a friend.

Thank you to all of you who have had a hand in Dr. Sketchy’s Philly. James Mundie, your support was always incredible – thank you! The Midwives Collective, thank you for your drink mixing skills and help with the event! Cocktail Onion, thank you for your scantily clad bar tending — so many people got a kick out of your crazy antics! Mew Gallery, Fleisher Art Memorial and The M-Room, thank you for housing us. DJ Todd Crazy-Face, thank you for the kick ass tunes that always matched the theme — I know that was a lot of work! To Dr. Sketchy’s South Jersey (Tracy of Madcow Designs and Brian) thank you for all of your incredible help with each session. Working the door, bringing extra props and words of encouragement. You both rock! To all of the models we worked with – WOW! You all did such an amazing job. Talk about creativity… you ladies and gents blew my mind. Scott Johnston and Joey Martini – you two are just incredible. Thank you for all of your support and jokes. You both always make me giggle. Molly Crabapple – thank you for being so completely amazing and sharing your idea with the world. Dames, Drinking and Drawing… one of the best ideas ever! To our sponsors, thank you! Your support and donations helped keep us afloat. Big thanks to The Philly Roller Girls – you supported us consistently for the past 2 years. Thank you so much for that! And to the Art-Monkeys… I’m at a loss for words. I am so impressed by your loyalty. I only hope I run into you along the way here and there at other art events – hopefully at a future Dr. Sketchy’s Philly! I’ll be there drawing with all of you!

I’m sure I will look back on this experience as one of the most interesting and fun times of my life. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in it. Long live Dr. Sketchy’s!

XO,
Nicola Black

There are events, benefits and parties that we here at The Peek-A-Boo Revue have been blessed to be attached to. But nothing can compare to Dr. Sketchy's - Philadelphia. It is such a unique gathering. You bring your sketchbook and draw the sexy ladies, relax, have a cocktail, mix and mingle, and create some ART!

I LOVE this video. It was shot during a Dr. Sketch's session in Philadelphia and our friends from AmericanShaft stopped by for a visit as well.

The Peek-A-Boo Revue were tapped to participate on December 7th.
AmericanShaft.com headed to Dr. Sketchy's Philadelphia home, Fleisher Art Memorial, to capture the ambiance and magic:

Fleisher is guided by the spirit of its founder, who first extended an invitation in 1898 for 'the world to come and learn art.' More than a century later, Samuel Fleisher's singular vision of high-quality, tuition-free art instruction continues uninterrupted at the Memorial.
At Fleisher, artists of all backgrounds share in the commonality of the creative experience while studying with a distinguished faculty of working artists in fine arts mediums as diverse as painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography and ceramics.

Throughout its history, Fleisher programs have impacted more than 500,000 individuals, whether through its in-house art classes for adults and children, or, more recently, via in-class and after school programs in area schools. Last year, over 4,000 students attended programs that offered more than 80 choices for visual arts study weekly. Additionally, the exhibition and performance programs over the past thirty years have featured and promoted the work of innumerable local, regional, national and internationally known artists. 

Happy Birthday, Scorpio

The Sun is passing through Scorpio Sign, one that is believed to be a sex god. But let's make it clear what do astrologists mean when they talk about Scorpio as the most sexual Zodiac Sign? Individuals born under Scorpio sign can be indeed quite different, which mainly depends on other planets present in a personal horoscope. But considering that sun sign is one of the predominating and significant to describe our personality in general. Concerning sexuality aspect it can be said that the image of Scorpio sexuality is very often somewhat mistaken.

Most will tell you Scorpio is lustful and sex is all he or she is able to think about, which is not quite true. Let's just call their style in sex as very profound and complicated. Indeed, they can do just anything in bed, but ...not with anyone. Scorpio will always stay secret about their intimate life and you will only have a clue to the depth of their desires looking in his or her eyes. To dispel the common prejudice, Scorpio's skillfulness in sex life doesn't go from their promiscuity, but more from their shrewdness and high sensitivity.

The intensity of their emotions often borders on the extremity: pain and pleasure,  
suffering, sensuality, exotic practices - all these are essential elements of their sexuality.

Scorpio's natural desire for intensity and love for revealing the unknown lead them to see sex as not a mere satisfaction of physical needs but purely as all-consuming experience. All or nothing is a key to their relationships with others. You may or may not like the sexual encounter, but you will definitely won't be able to forget them. 

Keep in mind that Scorpio people are the ones who like to possess and rule, that's why there probably won't be a vulnerable side but rather the ones who will exploit you on an unconscious level and leave no chance to leave. But you probably won't want to do this.

Bad Girls go to HELL
Explicit
August 23, 2009 06:38 PM PDT

"Bad Girls Go to Hell" is an American 1965 sexploitation film, written, produced and directed by Doris Wishman. The film stars Gigi Darlene, George La Rocque, Barnard L. Sackett, Harold Key and Darlene Bennett.

This film marked the end of Wishman's lighthearted nudist camp series and "nudie-cutie" comedies (such as Nude on the Moon) and a shift toward serious stories dealing with sex and violence. The new wave of harder-edged sexploitation and violent "roughie" films had already arrived a year earlier with Russ Meyer's Lorna, Michael Findlay's Body of a Female, and Joseph P. Mawra's Olga's House of Shame and its sequels.

Many trademarks of grindhouse film-making are present. Post-dubbed dialog, grainy and shaky camera-work, and an incredibly sleazy cool-jazz / go-go score. Hell, only "Last House on Dead End Street" and "Blast of Silence" are better when it comes to this film-making style. Darlene is fantastic, but the rest of the acting is uneven. However, that only adds to the fever dream atmosphere of the film. Doris Wishman is often viewed as being an incompetent director, and most of her works certainly suggest this. However, she shows some amount of skill here. Kudos to Something Weird Video for bringing this forgotten gem to the masses.

This was also released on DVD as part of a large box set of vintage exploitation films called Girls Gone Bad.

PLOT


Meg (Darlene) is a housewife in either Boston or Chicago, who, after making love with her husband (Sackett), takes a shower and dresses. When putting out some rubbish, she is assaulted and raped by a janitor (Key). The janitor blackmails Meg into coming into his apartment, wherein he again attempts to rape her. She kills him with a bowl. Fearing discovery, Meg packs her bags and travels to New York by bus. When befriended by a man in Central Park, she changes her name to Ellen Green, and claims she is from Chicago. The man offers her a room in his apartment, but after drinking heavily, he beats Meg/Ellen with a belt.

Moving on, she notices a newspaper headline stating: “Police seek blonde suspect in Boston murder!” Ellen rooms with Della (Bennett), a lesbian, and claims she is an acrobatic dancer, standing on her head in her bra and panties to prove it. After sleeping with Della, Ellen moves on again, stating that, because Della loves her, she has to leave. Ellen rents a room for 20 dollars a week at a couple's house, but is attacked and raped by the landlady's husband (La Rocque). She flees that scene and becomes a companion for an elderly woman but then discovers the woman's son is a detective working on the Boston murder case. Just as she is found out, Meg wakes up. It has all been a nightmare. As her husband leaves for work, Meg goes about her daily chores, but yet again she is attacked by the janitor in the stairwell.

Art Frahm (1907–1981) was an American painter of campy pin-up girls and advertising. Frahm lived in Chicago, and was active from the 1940s to 1960s. Today he is best known for his “ladies in distress” pictures involving beautiful young women whose panties mysteriously flutter to the ground in public situations, often causing them to spill their bag of groceries. In one of Frahm’s noted idiosyncratic touches, celery is often depicted.

Frahm had adequate technical competence for his medium, with a style somewhat reminiscent of Norman Rockwell's, though more cartoony. He was mostly influenced by commercial artist Haddon Sundblom, with whom Frahm may have worked as an assistant early in his career. Frahm’s forte was depicting beautiful young white women, taking in rendering their legs and figures. Frahm’s depictions of the women's faces are less successful, often tending towards plastic doll-like expressions. Minor problems with perspective and unrealistic depiction of subsidiary figures and objects are common in Frahm’s work. Some of his artistic touches were deliberately unrealistic and artistically daring — for instance his coloring of a city street lemon-yellow in an otherwise realist painting.

Frahm was commercially successful. His falling-panties paintings are still considered too camp to be art, and too juvenile to be erotica. However this genre (which Frahm seems to have created) was in demand in the 1950s, and was later imitated by some other pin-up artists. The falling-panties art has a small cult following as mid-20th century kitsch, or even as fetish art. The works are best described with plenty of irony; James Lileks' analysis (see external link below) of Frahm's work has brought it to the hilarious attention of many on the Internet.

In addition to pin-ups, Frahm created a series of humorous hobo-themed calendar illustrations. Another set of paintings celebrated traffic safety, complete with smiling, chubby crossing guards and schoolchildren (one such painting appears as a calendar print in the background of a bar scene in the movie Hud). His advertising art included works for Coca-Cola and Coppertone.
