Juxtapoz! Dirty In Detroit! Goat Eating! Oh Lordy!
Before you read another word of my font nonsense, you need to get your happy ass to the newstand and pick up Juxtapoz #50 before its gone. Its the one that looks like this:
Need a few reasons? Did you not see Iggy Pop on the cover? Frank Kozik is another incentive for you to stop reading this long enough to grab it. My favorite reason? The four page article covering The Dirty Show in Detroit. "What is the Dirty Show?" you ask? If you had bought the damned magazine like I told you to, you would know already, now wouldn't you?
Don't worry! I'll spoon feed you some more. It'll be OK.

Its an art show. Its an erotic art show. Its Dirty. Its in Detroit! Are you getting the idea?
Less than a decade ago, The Dirty Show was, pretty much, run out of someone's closet. To do that now, you would need a closet that Amelda Marcos would consider "roomy." The fifth show featured over 300 pieces of art from more than 100 artists. Attendance for the show, over Valentine's weekend, went way over the thousand mark. Some local and national favorites have featured their artwork there. A few notables from past and present include: Pablo Davis, Martha the Plaster Caster, and Kembra Pfahler from The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black.
The Juxtapoz article has some great photos and gives a good "flavor" of the show. The montage of genitalia that makes up our President's portrait is reason enough to steal a peek. One of my favorite quotes, ever, is found within the article, as well. I am not sure if it was Jerry Vile or Jeremy Harvey that said it, but it was one of them. By the way, they are the guys behind the Dirtiness:
"You can't even spell artist without "tit." What do you get if you take the penis out of pretentious? You get rettou, and that's not even a word."
Here's another reason for you to catch the next show:

You may be wondering what "Goat Eating" has to do with all of this. I could leave you hanging, but that would be mean. Anthony Mangicapra (Mangicapra means "Eater of Goat" in Italian) is not only friends with Jeremy Harvey, but he has also been a contributing artist in the last two Dirty Shows. Ironically, Anthony did not do much in the way of erotic art prior to meeting Jeremy and Jerry. Here are the Goat Eater's thoughts on the matter:
"Once I got it into me, I couldn't help but put "peepees" and "boobies" all over my pictures. These guys are not just interested in nude images, though. They don't just want sex, they want filth."
Anthony also provided a few interesting tidbits about the men behind the show. Here's some Jeremy Harvey Trivia:
If you are lucky, you can catch him, clad only in an anime t-shirt and g-string, singing "Knights in White Satin" at a random Karaoke bar in Detroit.
He loves Liberace.
He has a laugh straight out of Revenge of the Nerds.
He is known to play clubs under the name of DJ "Oh Lordy!" (Snerd Note- Now you know where I stole it, folks! A few of our giant dildos are known as "Oh Lordy!" size in honor of this man.)
A direct quote from the Goat Eater sums up the Jeremy love quite nicely:
"Nothing he does, individually, seems to make sense, yet he manages to pull everything together with a sense of grace about him. He is the fucking greatest."

DJ "Oh Lordy!"
Regarding the team of Jerry Vile (aka "The grossest man ever") and Jeremy Harvey, Anthony had this to say:
"They are the greatest duo since Lou Ferrigno & Bill Bixby."
Its no wonder the The Dirty Show is one of the most anticipated art shows in Detroit. Luckily for us, they are taking the show on the road. Currently, there are plans to do the show in New York, Florida and Boston within the next year. I will pass on those dates as soon as I have them.
If you want to see some of Anthony Magicapra's artwork, you can check out his gallery at hotsexintheory.com.
I don't know about you people, but reading this makes me want to hit all of the karaoke bars in Detroit in hopes finding a g-string clad Jeremy so that I may buy him a drink.
Cheers!
