WASTING TIME (MINE & YOURS)

Do I sleep under a freakin' rock?


Today while I was wasting time, I discovered that the Independent Film Channel has published a DVD of their original series, Indie Sex. This "series" is really more of an extended documentary about sex in independent cinema. I discovered this series because of my heroine Dita Von Teese's involvement in the project as both the model for the ad campaign and as an interviewee for the documentary. The program first ran in four parts (thought the DVD info says three parts?) at midnight on IFC, so I missed most of it because I am so damn old and can't manage to stay up til midnight, let alone 1am when the show ended! I fought hard to catch the final episode, Extremes, which was about the more intense stuff (real sex on film, that fine line between art and porn, etc.). It was fascinating and it covered most of the turf I imagined it would. Plus, there was plenty of Dita, Dita, Dita!

The DVD of the series has been out for a while and I had no idea. I thought I stayed on top of these things, but sometimes I miss something. Looks like I'm going to have to place an order! For those interested, you can order it from the IFC store here or on Amazon. com here. It's an interesting documentary featuring interviews with all sorts of familiar faces from the indie scene. It's particularly interesting if you happen to be a bit pervy...like me!
