God we hate stupid AI shit. Not only do NONE of these PICTURES look like the actual people, FIVE of them are actually STILL ALIVE!

Syracuse may be in the same state as NYC, but the editors of the Syracuse Post-Standard evidently knew nothing about the theaters on 42nd Street (yeah, right). In this "Flashback" article from 2018 they incorrectly indicated the Frisco and Avon were in San Francisco! Just a continent off.

OK, since our appeal for getting in contact with 𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺𝘀 hasn't produced much actionable results, we'll take a different approach. Does anyone know how to get in contact with 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗺 (𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗱𝗼𝗻) 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘀?

We know this is a very long shot, but it's worked before. Does anyone know a way to get in contact with Boris Williams (aka Boris Bransby-Williams), and/or his brother Michael Bransby-Williams? Or maybe know someone who knows someone... Please contact us in DM with even the thinnest of leads.

We were literally tickled when we discovered this afternoon that a full-length biography of Sammy Petrillo is coming. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘄: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗺𝘆 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 is set for release in September, and this was an instant pre-order. Oh, and that cover is by none other than Drew Friedman!

It warms our heart to see folks take up the cause and run with it. And the Weirdo's behind the new website 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗩𝗛𝗦 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘃𝗲 are absolutely doing The Lord's work in cataloging EVERY SWV VHS possible. They've got a long way to go, but we say more power to them! swvhsarchive.com

We love finding odd things in old underground rags and seeing where the thread takes us. Tonight we found these curious artifacts in the SF Barb offering lavender pictures from West Monroe, LA of all places! Turns out "Scott"'s address was the Grotto Motor Motel, which survived until the early 2000s

July 25, 1998 This past Saturday marked 28 years since the infamous Show World Center in NYC had live entertainment. Uncle Spicy's favorite nephew happened to be there that night, but he had no idea when he left that it was all about to end.

Today is the ineffable 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗿'𝘀 100th birthday. To celebrate one of the true pioneers of smutdom a good friend of Uncle Spicy's has brought over a portion of his personal collection of hand-drawn pictures by Rotsler to display in the Capri lobby. This is one of our favorites!

Uncle Spicy is very proud that his favorite nephew is part of what Lisa Petrucci coined The Degenerates Dream Team who worked on the just announced Melusine release of Michael Findlay's THE ULTIMATE DEGENERATE/A THOUSAND PLEASURES.

KRISTINE HELLER From Anthony Spinelli's 1977 CONFESSIONS. Kristine Heller passed away on June 30 1989 at only 39. While the mythology that's developed says she took her own life her obit says she died in hospital after a long illness. Whatever the reality was she left too early. youtu.be/meZZpJQ6WTI

Thursday December 17, 1998 was a sad day, the Capri that we're named after lost it's infamous sign for good. The theater had already been shuttered, and it would eventually be demolished. It's still an empty lot over a quarter century later.

Uncle Spicy has a strict rule against being too publicly political (bad for Bidness, so he says), but he whole-heartedly approved this "non" political post (it's not political because it's a Basic Truth).

Here's a selection of 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 tapes from Uncle Spicy's private collection. You know you rented at least one PS back in the day 😉

Just giving EMMANUELLE IN SOHO (1981) a watch and was delighted to see a painting of what appears to be a "tigon" (tiger/lion) on the wall of Emmanuelle's flat! And of course the film was produced/distributed by...Tigon!
