The Holmes Concrete Tribute On Santa Monica Blvd.
Bill Margold, journalist and noted pervert, reveals that “John Holmes made those imprints on February 7, 1985, in conjunction with the premiere of Girls on Fire. I’m not sure when the Pussycat switched to showing gay films. I’ve been trying to convince Larry Flynt to try to purchase the Holmes and Lovelace imprints and have them moved over to Hustler Hollywood, but nothing has come of it … yet.”

Oh well. Maybe one day they will be restored, sort of like the Statue of Liberty that time (with scaffolding up all around, and everyone giving very generously). I like how the second-tier porn guys like Chinn and Margold are all of a sudden, broke with no money and calling on Flynt to do something. I would put up a Donate link but I don’t want that to boost me up into a higher tax bracket and stuff, LOL.
It’s just another Manic Monday~
7734 Santa Monica Blvd.
The Pussycat is now Studs, a gay cinema. You can actually see the imprint squares of the legendary porn stars on Google Street View…
Studs Theater.
It appears that they need a good cleaning. It is also apparent that people walk by and may pour some tipple or beer on them as a tribute or toast?

My goodness, I hope that’s beer or Red Bull. Clean up the gum.

I sort of think the wad of chewing gum is intentional. 😉

“I like how the second-tier porn guys like Chinn and Margold are all of a sudden, broke with no money and calling on Flynt to do something.”
Neither Bob Chinn and Bill Margold are not broke with “no money”. Bob lives in a gated community in Albuquerque, NM, and Margold resides in a very nice condo complex in West Hollywood.

That should read neither Bob Chinn or Bill Margold are “broke witih no money”…

Does it really matter? if so, why?
Jill C. Nelson 9:58 pm on July 22, 2013 Permalink |
It definitely shouldn’t matter, no. But in all fairness, it’s not true that either one is broke or without money.

I understand. But the point was, cut a check for your friend’s legacy, move those concrete slabs somewhere else. However, maybe they are right where they should be, and where John first laid them down.

I agree with you John that the five slabs are (historically) probably right where they should be as much as they are in various forms of deterioration.

I would love to pour a 40 on John’s imprint slab. I’d also throw in a few bucks for a restoration, or even towards a long-overdue star on the Walk of Fame for John.
