Dear Diary

diary-page.jpg

The Supreme Court shot down that pesky sodomy law, but the Lone Star State still enforces a prohibition on sex toys. Granted, you can get “educational models” and “personal massagers” at countless shops in Texas, but if you keep six or more joysticks around, you could be slapped with a stiff penalty for intent to distribute.

Struck by the complete lunacy of the legislation on the sale of sex toys, filmmakers Laura Barton and Judy Wilder set out to chronicle objections to Texas sex laws. The duo interviewed porn stars, legislators and other people of dubious morality. The result of their efforts is The Dildo Diaries, a documentary screening tomorrow night.

Catch all the action at 9:45 p.m. tomorrow, Tuesday Feb. 21, at the Alamo Downtown. Full details on the screening are here, or you may want to explore the film’s official website.

  • Carly,

    Thanks for the deftly worded synopsis of our film.

    With the help of folks like you, who took the time to promote our recent (SOLD OUT!!) screenings at the Alamo, we hope to move Dildo Diaries into arthouse cinemas everywhere. BwaHaaHaa (It's hard to do an evil laugh online) BTW...we now have DVDs available. Contact us at roadtrip@texas.net

    Buzzingly,

    The Dildo Grannies (AKA Laura & Judy)
