7/5/24 — Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

Larry Flynt & HUSTLER rubbed folks the wrong way. His tools were shameless sex, brutal honesty, vulgar humor, and calling out political & celebrity hypocrisy.

His journey began with strip-clubs here in Dayton. "The Hustler" was a newsletter for his clubs–a fact usually ignored in local PR.

Of the big 3 men's mags, his is the only one still in print.

A grid of nine images on black, relating to Hustler magazine and it's publisher, Larry Flynt, as follows: 1. "The Hustler", a precursor to the magazine, dated Sep. '73, cover photo of Cincinnati Red baseball player, Pete Rose. 2. A "Larry Flynt for President" poster. 3. 48th Anniversary, 2022. A blonde in a U.S. flag swimsuit & flag tinted sunglasses leans against a rail in the sun, the Statue of Liberty visible in background. 4. L.F. posing with 3 copies of his 1st issue on a city street outside one of his Hustler nightclubs. 5. L.F. in his wheelchair, holding open his suit jacket to reveal a t-shirt with "FUCK THIS COURT" on it. 6. A poster for Milos Foreman's "The People Versus Larry Flynt." Star, Woody Harrelson in b&w gagged with a full-color U.S. flag as duct tape. "You may not like what he does, but are you prepared to give up his right to do it?" 7. July '84, 10th Anniversary HUSTLER. A nude female torso, standing poolside, is draped with a U.S. flag of thin fabric, saturated and slightly see-through. 8. 2015 Anniversary issue, a close-up of a purposefully open mouth, tips of teeth & surface of tongue visible, top lip painted flag blue with white stars, lower lip is vertically striped in red and white, a French manicured finger seductively resting in the corner of the lower lip. 9. Jan. '84, buxom blonde woman in white "Larry Flynt for President" t-shirt & U.S. flag bandana headband waves a small flag in a celebratory fashion.

#TheGrifters, 1990, #DirectedBy #StephenFrears and starring #JohnCusack, #AnjelicaHuston, and #AnnetteBenning is a great #con #hustler #oedipal #noir, even better than the great #HouseOfGames, 1987 (#DirectedBy #Trumper #DavidMamet 🤮)

It has a line that applies to literally every #SiliconValley #VentureCapitalist and #tech #CEO since its release:

"They were making money when everybody was making money. They think that means they're smart."
