Best Measure of a Man: Porn Prints at Studs Theatre

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Who knew that the imprints made by the DS stars outside the Vista Theatre would one day be referenced in an article about the impressions outside of a porn theater - but they have in an article in LAWeekly.

What a fab little article.  I like it that our gang is lumped together with Miss Kenneth Anger.  Collinwood Babylon, anybody?  (It would make a great fanfic!)

MB, your new avatar is SERIOUSLY scaring me.

my friend Georgina Spelvin's footprints are in front of the former Pussycat as well.

Hmmm...when I read the subject of this thread, I interpreted 'prints' to mean photographic prints and thought (hoped?  ) that "long-lost" photos of one of the DS cast members had turned up in an exhibit of erotic photographs.

I suspect someone's been reading too many of Gothick's posts about his hoped for "long-lost" Colt photos of a certain DS actor.

That would be glorious!  I am on board Gothick.  I think I know which actor it is!!

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Do keep in mind that we're talking fantasy pictures. There's no evidence that they actually exist. We don't want rumors starting. And rumors can start so easily...

[Taeylor Collins]

MB, I know we are talking about fantasy pictures and I wasn't trying to propell a "rumor" but thanks for the reminder! And yes I know how rumors can spread in fandom like wild fire.   

ME and Gothick are good friends and email at least once or twice a week!     I hope it was okay to "out" our frienship Gothick!

We could just pretend that some of John Karlen's nude shots from Daughters of Darkness are Colt pics.
Poppers, anyone?

Don't worry, Taeylor - that warning wasn't directed at you. Just a general statement to anyone reading. Sometimes we forget just how many people read the forum, and we don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about Gothick's "hoped for" pictures.    Especially when we're only referencing them and Gothick's own words to indicate it's all in good fun are in other topics.

[Taeylor Collins]

Now worries MB!   I finally have gotten quite comfortable here! 

[Gothick]

Hey Taeylor, of course I don't mind at all.  You write brilliant, witty, amusing posts, and I'm proud to have you for my "Cousin" in the Shadows!

Just to set the record ... straight (?!?!?!?!?!) (and Dear God, please do not let that string of punctuation turn into one of those sickening smilies), I was told by a veteran DS fan of the Ancient Blood (as am I)--for the new folks who may be reading, this means a fan who was around in the 1960s for the original broadcast of the series--that he had heard from a friend that Don Briscoe had done a shoot for Colt Magazine, a publication popular amongst a certain select circle back in the day.  Given the nature of that remarkable magazine, we may presume that Don appeared in the best apparel nature could have provided for him--i.e., his birthday suit.  Unfortunately, 1960s issues of that magazine are rare as the proverbial hen's teeth, although there are archival collections--one at Cornell that I know of--where we may finally be able to track down more information regarding this rumor.

So, it wasn't really Gothick just erm, um, *fantasizing* *wink* about such images--although I have to admit that since hearing the tale, I HAVE amused myself mightily by imagining with all the vivid powers at my command just how special those photographs could be!

cheers!  G.

Though just to stress the point, as things stand there is no evidence that the shoot ever took place and that it isn't quite possibly someone's fantasy or possibly even a case of mistaken identity. There were rampant rumors at one time that one of the DS stars had appeared in porn films - a rumor that was even published in a reputable magazine that should have known enough to confirm its facts before going with the story - yet that turned out to be a total case of mistaken identity.

[Gothick]

That point is definitely worth stressing, MB.

I read years ago about a homemade porn movie in which Barbra Strreisand had supposedly appeared in the early 1960s before she became successful.  The report described Streisand herself being shown a sequence from the movie and pointing out to others in the room that while there was a blurred facial resemblance, the lady in the movie had very different hands--shorter, more stubby fingers, compared to Streisand's own hands. 

I can imagine a fan of the times getting carried away with a casual resemblance and thinking he was seeing Briscoe in an old magazine, when he wasn't. 

Altruistically, for the sake of science, I would be willing to put in the hours if not days required to go through every issue of Colt magazine from the mid 1960s.  Even if it required sacrifice of time and energy.  For the sake of my fellow fans, I would do it!  and, uh, yeah, I would just be thinking of Dark Shadows the whole time *wink*

cheers, G.

I'm sure you would.

But of course.
