i was just killing time during my day off, when i came across a music video featuring gangbang gloria. this really made my day, since gloria is my idol! gangbang gloria is“gloria!” i know the song was written by van morrisson from ireland, but this video is about gangbang gloria out of los angeles, with music (”gloria”) by the legendary “doors”. i am sure the doors would approve — someone please notify their website (video is on xvideos as are some of mine), and i would be greatly dissapointed, if van morrison did not approve. oh! though not heavy on action, this is possibly the best music video i’ve ever seen, though it was probably automatically edited by a program.

anyway, here are some scenes from the music video:

Lynn Loves L.A. (1993 • LynnCarroll.com)
Available On: VHS
Starring: Gloria, Lynn Carroll

I had always wanted to meet the famous “Gang Bang Gloria” from California so I decided to go to L.A. She and I met

11 men and we fucked everyone dry. It’s impossible to detail everything as so much happened. I had my asshole abused

and did NINE anals…

lastly, from “the real bettie page” by richard foster :

“bettie stood in her sweater and skirt, her feet shifting nervously in her bobby socks and black-and-white saddle shoes.”

Bettie

um hi

mostly from the LA times:

Bettie Page, the brunette pinup queen with a shoulder-length pageboy hairdo and kitschy bangs whose saucy photos helped usher in the sexual revolution of the 1960s, has died. She was 85.

Page, whose later life was marked by depression, violent mood swings and several years in a state mental institution, died Thursday night at Kindred Hospital in Los Angeles [on slauson between Sepulveda and la cienega], where she had been on life support since suffering a heart attack Dec. 2, according to her agent, Mark Roesler.

A cult figure, Page was most famous for the estimated 20,000 4-by-5-inch black-and-white glossy photographs taken by amateur shutterbugs from 1949 to 1957. The photos showed her in high heels and bikinis or negligees, bondage apparel — or nothing at all.
 Decades later, those images inspired biographies, comic books, fan clubs, websites, commercial products — Bettie Page playing cards, dress-up magnet sets, action figures, Zippo lighters, shot glasses — and, in 2005, a film about her life and times, “The Notorious Bettie Page.”

CMG Worldwide, the company that markets her image, had organized the event at its Sunset Boulevard penthouse offices. The idea was to get Page’s autograph on as many prints as possible, because demand for anything Page-related is soaring.

According to her agents at CMG, who control the images of Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana, Page’s official website,
www.BettiePage.com, has received 588 million hits over the last five years. That’s cult status.

For the last 13 years, she’s been living in seclusion in various
Southern California communities. Nearly five decades after the last photos of her appeared in magazines like Chicks and Chuckles, Page is finally earning a respectable income for her work.

“I’m more famous now than I was in the 1950s,” she said.

She was born Bettie Mae Page in Jackson, Tenn., 105 miles southwest of Nashville. She was the oldest girl among Roy and Edna Page’s six children. Roy, an auto mechanic, “molested all three of his daughters,” Page said.

Two weeks before her final exams in high school, her mother’s much younger lover “tried to pull me into his car. My mother nearly murdered me over that, then made me live with my father. So I couldn’t review my exam notes, which were at home.

“Because of that I got beat out of graduating valedictorian by a
quarter of a grade point and lost my dream of getting a scholarship to attend Vanderbilt University,” she said. “It was the worst disappointment of my life.”

 After high school, Page earned a teaching credential. But her
teaching career was short-lived. “I couldn’t control my students, especially the boys,” she said.

She tried secretarial work and marriage. But by 1948 she was
divorced and had moved to New York and enrolled in acting classes.

Strolling the beach at Coney Island, Page crossed paths with  
amateur photographer Jerry Tibbs, who introduced her to shutterbug clubs and suggested she wear bangs to help cover a slightly protruding forehead.

From the start, Page — whose measurements were 36-24-37 —
preferred the skimpy outfits she designed and sewed at home.

“I made all of my bikinis and most of my lingerie,” she said. Almost overnight, she became an underground sensation, attracting the attention of Irving Klaw and his sister, Paula, who operated a mail-order business specializing in cheesecake.

Page soon became the Klaws’ busiest pinup and also starred in their peekaboo short films, “Varietease” and “Striporama.”

They also had her pose with whips, tied up in chairs and wrestling with other women in their underwear. To hear her tell it, Page was deeply depressed and aimless when she joined the Klaws. The bondage shots are the only part of her modeling career she regrets.

“I had lost my ambition and desire to succeed and better myself; I was adrift,” she said. “But I could make more money in a few hours modeling than I could earn in a week as a secretary.

During her brief career, she became the obsession of thousands of men — a fact that mystifies her to this day: “I have no idea why I’m the only model who has had so much fame so long after quitting work.”

Writer Harlan Ellison suggested an answer: “There are certain women, even certain men, in whose look there is a certain aesthetic that hits a golden mean. Bettie is that. Marilyn is that.”

Richard Foster, one of her two biographers, called her “the
trendsetter in American sexuality.”

Playboy magazine founder Hugh [call me hef] Hefner put it another way. “Exactly what captures the imagination of people in terms of pop culture is something hard to define,” Hefner said. “But in Bettie’s case, I’d say it’s a combination of wholesome innocence and fetish-oriented poses that is at once retro and very modern.”

A motion picture, “The Notorious Bettie Page,” is scheduled for
release in April. Artist Olivia De Berardinis, whose work Page was autographing, expects to publish a book this year featuring her own idealized portraits of the woman once known as “The Queen of Curves” and “Dark Marilyn.” De Berardinis’ large paintings of Page sell for about $1,500 without Page’s signature.

At 35, Page quit modeling and moved to Florida, where she married a much younger man whose passions, she later learned, were watching television and eating hamburgers.

“Six weeks into the marriage, on New Year’s Eve 1959,” she recalled, “I wanted to go dancing with him at a nightclub. He said he’d rather get drunk with his brothers.”

Page charged out of the house in tears, wondering whether to divorce him.

In 1967, she married her third husband. After their divorce 11 years later, Page plunged into a depression marked by violent mood swings. She got into an argument with her landlady and attacked her with a knife. A judge found her innocent by reason of insanity but sentenced her to 10 years in a California mental institution.

She emerged from San Bernardino’s Patton State Hospital in 1992 to find that there was new interest in her story and her old poses.

A movie called “The Rocketeer” and the comic book that inspired it contained a Bettie Page-esque character, setting off the revival, among women as well as men, that continues unabated.

Still, she shunned the public eye, rarely venturing out even with
trusted friends. She spent most of her final years in a one-bedroom apartment, reading, listening to country tunes, watching westerns on television, catching up on diet and exercise regimens or sometimes perusing secondhand clothing stores. [lovely!]

Occasionally, however, Page was persuaded to visit the Sunset Boulevard penthouse offices of her agents at CMG Worldwide to autograph pinups of herself in the post-World War II years of her prime. The agency controls her image and those of Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana, among others.

But a few weeks [years] ago, with confidant and CMG executive Richard Bann as her escort, she joined Hefner at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles for a special screening of “The Notorious Bettie Page.”

Page had one request for this story — that her face not be
photographed. But this much can be shared. Her face remains smooth and fresh, and one can still see the face of the young woman in the old. Her eyes, bright blue, still sparkle.

It was late afternoon when Page, visibly fatigued from all the
autographing, was presented with a special request. A man who had purchased 10 Bettie Page paintings wanted a personal dedication on a blank piece of paper.

“What do we know about this man?” she demanded to know. “Is he a nice guy? Would I love him like a brother?”

“His name is Jeffrey,” Hildalgo said. “He’s a nurse at San Quentin.” “All right then. Don’t wiggle the table, please,” Page said. “I want to get this just right.” “To Jeffrey,” she wrote. “Much love, Bettie Page.”

retro porn in the valley

brie242from the los angeles times reprint of the los angeles mirror (no longer exists) from 50 years ago:
Oct. 24, 1957
Los Angeles
 The Times account of the pornography raid shows that by the 1950s the adult film industry had a heavy presence in the San Fernando Valley and that the ring operated much like a regular studio.George W. Richter, 63, 9721 Lemona Ave., a North Hills man with a long history in the porn industry, provided the film processing lab while his sons George F., 13019 Bracken St., Pacoima, and Robert C. Richter, Northridge, operated the cameras, The Times said.Distribution was handled by Jack Rappaport, 51, through his luggage store at 1734 S. Vermont Ave., and Lee La Beau, 42, of 5651 Melrose Ave. (an address belonging to Aldik Artificial Flower Co., according to city directories and newspaper ads), The Times said. And then there was the on-screen talent: Donald Harvey, 10660 E. Dorado Ave., Pacoima, and Barbara Jean Elliott, a.k.a. Kathryn Douglas.Similar arrests five years earlier seemed to have little effect. In August 1952, vice detectives raided George W. Richter’s lab at 1715 N. Mariposa and seized 100 16-millimeter reels of pornography, The Times said.  “My headquarters has always been in Hollywood, Calif. I used girls who came to Hollywood to be in the movies but failed.”

 “I had a post office box in Beverly Hills to get my C.O.D. returns from my express shipments. All my business was done over the telephone or by Western Union. I never used the mails in my business.”

“In my time, I produced about 40 films and had another 60 duplicate negatives of other films. I should say I sold about 100 prints of each one.”

“I furnished films for Tijuana, Mexico; also for Havana, Cuba, for burlesque.”

“From 1931 to 1945 I had a photographic studio at 1605 N. Cahuenga Blvd., Hollywood. This was merely a blind. I made contacts with girls who came to me to be models. I later used them in my movies.”

“In 1928 I made my first picture at 1154 N. Western Ave., Los Angeles, Calif. I used a prostitute and a studio truck driver for my cast. I made the picture for [blank] of San Francisco, who is dead now. I had the 35-millimeter negative of this picture. From this I had a 16-millimeter reduction negative made. I started to sell prints to friends of mine.”

“I met a Chinese merchant in Chinatown. I sold him about 60 prints of this picture. Some of them went to China, so I was told. Then a Mr. [blank] came out to the coast from New York. He brought with him some new pictures. We traded back and forth. Then I sent two men to tour the country to make contacts for me. They were [blank] and [blank].”

“They made connections and would telephone me the orders. I would send them by express or Greyhound bus. They would always collect in advance for the orders. This is how I got my connections all over the country.”

“During my time, I guess I made about $50,000 a year. I spent it as fast as I made it, on women and liquor.”
