That's the name of the fundraiser for The Erotic Heritage Museum that was held last night in celebration of it's first anniversary. Last Friday night a friend and I attended, First Friday, an art event that occurs monthly. It was there we met the curator of the Erotic Museum, Dr. Laura Henkel. I now call her Dr. Laura. She invited Larry and me to the one-year anniversary party.
That was after a lengthy conversation about how she "stole" my idea. But more important was the fact that part of the permanent display material is a story about Miller vs. California, that is a Supreme Court test case defining pornography, which still stands today. Miller refers to Marvin Miller, my first cousin. It was only fitting that I attend that party don't you think so??
What a bash last night. We stayed out very late. The purpose of the museum is to save historical artifacts, books, magazines, displays, and you name it, particularly if it has historic significance depicting erotica i.e., including multicultural and antique value. On display on all the walls were original artworks, much of which was excellent quality work, photography, sculptures, life size displays of erotic devices of all sorts, theatre settings for watching films and videos, multi-screened videos constantly running also on wall spaces, and best of all, next to food and drink, were the characterized people in costumes and makeup many of whom took part in the entertainment for the evening.
The entertainment included old fashioned burlesque dancers, two of whom lit their tassels on fire and twirled them while on fire, cross dressers and female impersonators, a contortionist, belly dancers, people named Statan's Angel, Lady Monster, Vi Vicious, Rope artists who demonstrated various forms of tying your mate, electro-stimulation demos, real peep show booths, room sized dioramas of film making and bondage scenes. All in all it was a colorful, eye-popping event.
