Sex and the (Park) City

Hotter than hot, sultry and sweaty were the women of the Inside Deep Throat premiere party.  Imported directly from Jumbo's Clown room in LA, Lola and Gypsy added the heat and eye candy for the party's many horny attendees. And they were plenty horny after watching Linda and Harry and hearing about and seeing orgasms and climaxes in the documentary. So the girls were a perfect release of tension and libidos. They got tipped, photographed, and will be my desktop wallpaper for years to come.  A+

And Thairin Lies the Answer

Stolen from The WOW Report

In a departure from his all-too-brief-so-far weekly recipe column, Thairin Smothers, who drove to Sundance in an RV, whines a bit about the Sundance experience and delivers, with Chris McKim an In / Out list that reads more like their personal journal than anything else.

What is Sundance?  Sundance is being on a 200+ person waiting line for a sold out film outside in the freezing cold clutching a number that you hope gets called jumping up and down wishing the sun was out to keep you warm until you get in.  Or is that just waiting in the Inside Deep Throat lines?

Picture Show

Here're some photos from the party after the screening of IDT at Sundance.  It's been said that the party almost lived up to the expectations fed by memories of the party that followed the Party Monster screening two years ago at Sundance.

Party Like It's 1972

Bruce Newman in his Sundance Journal in the Mercury News filed this report on last night's Inside Deep Throat after-party produced by Bryan Rabin and David Rodgers of RabinRodgers Inc:  

The "Inside Deep Throat" after-party almost lived up to expectations--no goodie bags were dispensed, which is probably just as well...who has time for sex toys when there are movies to be sold?--with lots of loud recorded music from the '70s, when "Deep Throat" was made. The diorama in the middle of the room was a pedestal, atop which two nearly topless (this is Utah, after all) go-go dancers gyrated spiritedly. The documentary, which had just premiered at Eccles--the festival's biggest venue--played on a giant screen in the background, but whether you were trying to talk, or just trying to drink contemplatively, it was almost impossible to take your eyes off those dancers. "Throat" star Harry Reams, shorn of his mustache and looking more like a retired golf pro than a legendary porn star, entered with filmmakers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, briefly upstaging the go-go dancers. Briefly.

Sundancing

World of Wonder not only has Inside Deep Throat  premiering at this year's Sundance festival, it's also being referenced in two other Sundance premiere films.  The WOW logo is featured on a TV set in a scene in Greg Araki's new film Mysterious Skin, and there is a mention of  Showdogs Moms & Dads in the fabulous new film from Don Roos, Happy Endings, which opens the festival and features one of Bailey and Barbato's favorite actresses, Lisa Kudrow.
 
The Inside Deep Throat after-premiere party, at The Shop, the site of the legendary Party Monster party two years ago, promises the Sundancers a real mind job after seeing that blowjob.  Brian Rabin, the party's co-planner (with partner David Rodgers) says the theme will be about the First Amendment and women's rights - against the glamour and glitz of the '70s disco scene.  All white with hot pink accents.  "The only real color," he says, "will be from the American Flags."  Guests can expect to find a copy of the Bill of Rights in their swag bags.

The monster party for Party Monster

Sundance is having what is almost becoming its annual WOW retrospective and sneak-peek previews in the Queer Lounge after the Queer Brunch, at which time clips from WOW's past and current projects will be shown, including Hidden Fuhrer, Showdog Moms & Dads, Porno Valley, and Tammy Faye: Death Defying.

And stay tuned for news of Bailey and Barbato's sex-and-the-movies panel discussion with John Cameron Mitchell.
