As a Celebration of the 8th Anniversary of Miami Beach’s WORLD EROTIC ART MUSEUM (www.WEAM.com)
LINDA LOVELACE IN FLORIDA—SHE’S BACK! In 1972, Linda Lovelace, after recuperating from a car accident at her parents’ condo in Fort Lauderdale, and catering to South Florida’s fetish trades from a rundown bar in North Miami, filmed segments of the porn industry’s most profitable film (Deep Throat) at Baron Joseph (“Sepy”) de Bicske Debronyi’s house in Coconut Grove. Forty years later, postmortem to her tragic death in 2002, she’s back in South Florida, thanks to the release of Darwin Porter’s award-winning INSIDE LINDA LOVELACE’S DEEP THROAT, Degradation, Porno Chic, and the Rise of Feminism, the publishing industry’s first comprehensive overview of the unlikely Catholic girl who became an unwitting über-celebrity in Hollywood and worldwide.
Danforth Prince will present an overview of issues and events associated with the Deep Throat saga never before published, based on the recent appearance, worldwide, of a startling new biography that was honored with recent literary awards from the Los Angeles and the Hollywood Book Festivals. In June, it was defined as “Best Summer Reading of 2013” by the Beach Book Awards. Presented in cooperation with WEAM (World Erotic Art Museum) on the occasion of the celebration of its 8th anniversary, this is envisioned as an intimate, very adult dialogue about
Linda, celebrity fame, and the affect she had on America’s attitudes about intimacy, censorship, and human sexuality. Come see why sex advisor Lola Bastinado, an associate of PlayboyTV, awarded this book
with a Sybarite Award at the EXXXOTICA Convention in Atlantic City’s Trump Taj Mahal in
June! WEAM (World Erotic Art Museum) 1205 Washington Ave., Miami Beach, FL 33139 (tel. [phone])
Free wine and champagne will be available to toast this extraordinary museum’s 8th Anniversary.

CENSORSHIP AND CELEBRITY WORSHIP, THEN AND NOW
A Dialogue with Danforth Prince, President of Blood Moon Productions

From the main floor of South Florida’s most respected independent bookseller, Danforth Prince will discuss celebrity worship in the cultural archives of “the American Century,” and changes in how modern readers celebrate their icons. The focus is on insider issues associated with Blood Moon’s recent award-winning exposés of Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, the Kennedys, the Gabors, Linda Lovelace, and a gaggle of other celebrites as represented by Blood Moon’s Awardwinning BABYLON series. There will also be an exclusive advance look at the company’s release, in January, of PINK TRIANGLE, a literary memoir about the ambitions and feuds that flourished among the three most evocative enfants terribles of the 20th century, Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, and Tennessee Williams. If you haven’t wandered into a bookstore in a while (or even if you have), consider attending this discussion about how Blood Moon Productions, a feisty independent publisher noted for salvaging the previously unpublished oral histories of the Entertainment Industry, has maneuvered long-term relationships with such publishing “dragons” as The Frommer Guides, Prentice Hall, Simon & Schuster, and John Wiley & Sons, and how it has schemed and sweated its way through the compilation, release, and after-effects of some of the most unvarnished and avant-garde celebrity overviews ever published. At South Florida’s Most Respected Independent Bookstore, BOOKS & BOOKS, 265 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gables, Florida 33134 (tel. [phone])

Gay Patrimonies and Inheritance Rites
How Censorship Castrated America’s Perception of What Was Really Happening During Hollywood’s “Golden Age”

Gay men and women have populated the ranks of the Entertainment Industry since the earliest days of Silent Filmmaking. Blood Moon Productions has exposed, through its award-winning documentation of the industry’s gossipy underbelly, many aspects of Hollywood that were never mentioned either by the
tabloids or the mainstream press as they were unfolding. In this candid presentation, Blood Moon’s founder and president, Danforth Prince, will discuss the historic importance of gossip among the Lavender Hip,
and how censorship from J. Edgar Hoover, among others, castrated an accurate perception of what was really happening in Hollywood during its so-called “Golden Age.”
