We went to the Erotic Heritage Museum! Wetdove wrote about the museum here, and since I’m a cheap bastard I like to have the most bang for my buck when I’m in Las Vegas. (Get it! Bang for my buck?!) As non-gamblers and happy hour cheap drinkers, we really don’t live it up in Vegas.
But now I have seen a lot of porn. A. LOT. OF. PORN. in a museum setting, I feel much more Vegas-ified.
The highlight for both of us were the exhibits from the House of Gord. House of Gord is:
Well, to put it simply, Gord is a natural-born artist and inventor. His passion is for inventing bondage gear that will tease, torment, humiliate and stimulate a very dangerous species… women!
Gord’s inventions are so cunning and sophisticated that they almost defy explanation, and, as a result, a term was created to describe his work: ULTRA BONDAGE.
Per the website. I’m a little disturbed by the self-described cunning – and it’s a lot of gals and no men so I’m an itty bit skeptical.
However, in the spirit of non-judgment and pure artistry, there is some crazy interesting shit to be seen. At the Museum there are quite a few pieces donated, including an example of a woman-drawn chariot. With women who wear shoes like this!
If you are intrigued, check the museum or the website.
The other thing that I thought was neat were the peep show booths. I’m pretty comfortable in a sex shop, but I’m not sure how interested I am in checking out a video booth in most places (seriously, Babeland and Good Vibes should get into this in a respectable way). The museum had working booths with porn-a-palooza – no privacy doors though. Still! Much more than I expected.
The gals working the museum were sweet as pie, despite the totally shady Industrial Road location. The shop in the museum and the toy shop in the strip club across the way are not so great, but why not make a trip of it if you’re out that way?
oh man! I wish now I went to the one in Amsterdam. Luckily Las Vegas is so much closer.
The burning question I have is what are the Vegas plans for January?! I know of a Jersey girl who says her accent is “Greek” that will treat you right!
I know you wrote it was in an “museum setting,” but that last photo makes it totally look like it is located in some rental, in a gated community in like West Covina.
Also, they have penny slots in Vegas, put a dollar in a get a free drink. Then again, you wouldn’t be able to write a blog like this!
The last photo is not from the museum (somehow my captions didn’t show up). It’s probably IS West Covina. Good call. I think they should turn this foreclosure crisis around through using female models in open house homes in the San Gabriel Valley!
Slots are no fun. And $2.50 beer is manageable for me. Plus! Our happy hour at a restaurant got all fucked up so my entire meal and drinks were comped. So I think I won money.
