It aired in 2004 and lasted only one year.<\/p>\n<p>I kept this episode because the segment includes shots of the tour of <a href=\"https:\/\/forthegirls.com\/\">ForTheGirls.com<\/a> (from 2:41-2:46 and also 5:16-5:18). This was a huge deal for us at the time &#8211; it was 2004, the site was only a year old and we were keen for publicity. Of course, it being the ABC, it didn&#8217;t really give us a lot of airtime or famousness. We did have to sign some kind of agreement for the use of our imagery which I believe in now lost forever.<\/p>\n<p>The episode starts out with an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cleo_(magazine)\">Cleo<\/a> editor Paula Joye, who had just brought back the male centerfold after a hiatus of 20 years. Unfortunately her choice of centerfold wasn&#8217;t great: radio shock jock Kyle Sandilands. Be warned, there&#8217;s footage from his nude shoot so you will be exposed to his naked butt for a short time.<\/p>\n<p>More interesting are the interviews with filmmaker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poisonappleproductions.com.au\/\">Anna Brownfield<\/a> and academic <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KathAlbury\">Kath Albury<\/a>. I didn&#8217;t know Kath or Anna when the show aired but we&#8217;ve since met and worked together in various circumstances and they&#8217;re my longtime porn friends. The segment also features the late, great <a href=\"https:\/\/msnaughty.com\/blog\/?s=candida\">Candida Royalle<\/a> who was, at the time, the most prolific and best known women&#8217;s porn director in the world.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to upload this video to Youtube for posterity as the show is something of an Australian relic and not available anywhere. It&#8217;s also a handy bit of porn history. I marked it as adults only. Alas, Youtube immediately banned it. While writing up the description it told me that some footage was copyrighted &#8211; that turned out to be a sequence of stock footage that some troll has probably laid claim to (0:28-34). But then the bots just removed it outright. Perhaps because it contains some excerpts of Candida&#8217;s films. Or perhaps because of Kyle Sandiland&#8217;s bum. I&#8217;ve appealed it, we&#8217;ll see what happens. (EDIT: Nope. Appeal lasted all of 5 minutes. Rejected because Youtube considers this segment to be: &#8220;Pornographic or sexually explicit content that is meant to be sexually gratifying.&#8221; Sigh.)<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I thought I&#8217;d put it here. This video was taken from an old VHS tape hence the less-than-stellar quality.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All about an old episode of Mondo Thingo which discusses chick porn: the rise of women&#8217;s erotica, with Candida Royalle, Cleo&#8217;s Paula Joy, Anna Brownfield and Kath Albury.
