I met Venus in a restaurant after she was done with a shoot for content for her website. There was an instant rapport with the conversation taking off in various directions like it does over dinner with old friends and exciting people. By the time the tape recorder was out and turned on we had moved to the
same side of the table with our back to the wall so we could see the rest of
the restaurant and candidly look at some of the promo material Venus had with
her. The evening was a flurry of good seafood, 8x10 glossys and a very memorable
few hours spent with a truly great entertainer. Venus: Do you have a list of questions? Or surprise, surprise, whatever comes up? AINews: I figure I can roll with the punches. Impromptu. Venus: If there is anything that I want to talk about is it ok if I just inject it? AINews: Definitely. Venus: You already heard my spiel about the psychology of the Adult Industry, but you didn't have your tape recorder on yet! AINews: So what is this about men being able to show their breasts, but women can't? Venus: That is really, a really good thing to bring up. In fact I was in New York City, when they passed a law allowing women to go topless in public. Because, women were getting arrested for breast feeding in public, at parks and they fought it. They had to go through several courts and they finally got it passed. Men have been allowed to go topless or what they like to say "top free" because they don't want to confuse it with the topless dance industry. So even within this fight it was still segregated like that, but still it is still good for everybody. I think it was 1892 or something that they passed a law that men could walk around without their shirts off in public, so it has been a long time coming that the same freedom is offered to women. "We were all topless, driving right in front of Madison Square Garden, yelling, 'Censor this Tipper Gore!'"
