DID YOU KNOW THAT....

PROP 8: the law passed in CALIFORNIA to ban Gay Marriages, was brought out to California by Mormons who came from Salt Lake City in droves? 

CONDOM usage in Adult ENTERTAINMENT: Yea, they are trying to pass this law to be a requirement , because supposedly too many people learn about SEX through Porn, so the government is trying to regulate something that is meant for ENTERTAINMENT, not education. Who's fault is it that there is not enough Sex Education in our schools and in society that people must learn it from PORN? Is it the PORN Industries responsiblity? Then it should be Hollywood's responsibility to regulate the films to depict only truths and no fantasies. Right? READ: PORN is FANTASY aka adult ENTERTAINMENT. Teach your kids about sex the right way, without silencing and then talk to us.

Bath Houses in SAN FRANCISCO: Responsible for spreading AIDS? Seriously? Did you know that Bath-houses were one of the safer places of anonymous sex. Not according to the people who shut them down. 

If we legalize PROSTITUTION, women are actually better off? So you say, then what is to prevent my husband from going to one? Your husband is going to get a prostitute if he wants one, legal or not. Legalized prostitution is not only safer, as condom use is required and the girls are tested WEEKLY but the girls want to send your husband home a happy man. 

POLYGAMY... used to be legal in the Mormon Religion, now not only do they vilify their fundamentalists by illegalizing it, they perpetuate violence against their own?

GET THE FACTS.

Some 150 miles outside of Las Vegas, Nevada

Spent the last two days driving around the desert, going to brothels and trying to get footage, and information for our film. We didn’t really have a plan except that we were going to get back to Sheri’s and hope they let me film there. Well, they didn’t. I was also turned away by Shady Lady. Chicken Ranch told us to come back. I sent Judy at Chicken Ranch an email, but never did go back as we ran out of time.

Angel’s Ladies, a tiny mom and pop run brothel on Hwy 95 out in Amargosa Valley,  did let us film, so we went back for a 2^nd day, for “Scarlotte”, “Angel” and the grounds tour. As I mentioned before, the ladies at Dennis Hof’s Love Ranch South: Vanessa, Daisy Mae and Bella expressed interest in the film also, and were going to put in a good word about our project to their boss man Dennis oddly enough happened to be in town. (I find it interesting he was in town, as he lives in northern Nevada. And we weren’t supposed to be in the area until two days later, which would have been today, but due to our work schedules we have to push our schedule up.) We got lucky. 

So, as promised we stopped by Love Ranch at 2PM and Daisy Mae said she hadn’t heard from Dennis yet. We decided to drive to Beatty, NV in Death Valley to at least get this footage of Angel’s. With lack of participation from the brothels, I really wanted to give Angel’s as much love as possible, since they were being so cooperative.  (Similar to Stardust Ranch and Big 4 in Ely, NV from our last excursion who are also going to be featured.) But, not all brothels are created equal. Not all prostitutes are created equal. And, I definitely want to show the varieties that do exist.

Enroute to Angel’s we stopped at the Alien Travel Stop for snacks and bathroom. Out in the desert these stops are few and far between, sometimes there may be nothing for 60-70 miles. It’s good to get out and stretch your legs. The prior day before we’d even known about Love Ranch South. (I had google'd the "brothels in Nye County, Nevada" and Love Ranch never popped up in a search. Neither did Angel's for that matter. I just saw Angel's enroute to Shady Lady and decided to pull in. "Angel" and Mac at Angel’s filled us in on the newest brothel in town, Love Ranch. The brothels cannot advertise, that's part of the law, so I guess I wasn't that surprised.) We had stopped here also and marveled at area 51 hype, aliens and prostitution. I was wondering why all the billboards were owned by ‘Bunny Ranch.’ Now it was all starting to make sense. (Dennis Hof bought Cherry Patch 2 in 2011. The Love Ranch South is currently being remodeled. He also owns the travel station and will be remodeling it too.) So this time we stopped there, I gave the girl working there, whom we’d seen the day before, our press release about the movie. She hears me out, reads the release and says, “Oh, Dennis is in the back. Do you want to talk to him?” What? That kind of caught me off guard. “Sure, “ I said, I wasn’t going to turn down the opportunity to talk to the Brothel King himself. But he wasn’t in back as she’d thought, and she spent the next 5 minutes tracking him down, which I thought was super kind of her. She did not have to do that. I for sure was not expecting any of it. She eventually was able to speak with someone named Steve, and told him we’d be back at the Love Ranch South to meet with Dennis at 5-5:30PM, after which I also heard her say, “Well yea, they don’t wanna film anything without talking to Dennis first.” She not only went out of her way to help us, but also had our back.  Thank you, kind girl, I wish I'd gotten your name.

About 3PM now and we ventured on up the road, (in desert speak that’s about about 50 miles “up the road”) to Angel’s where Scarlotte and Angel gave us a complete tour of the grounds, including their hot springs, hiking trails and bungalow suites. They gave us a lot more in depth detail about their experiences in prostitution and in Brothelville.  We didn’t leave Angel’s until about 5PM, and I was starving. Interviewing and driving and filming out in the desert, you know.  I needed caffeine and food. We weren’t going to make it back to Love Ranch South in time.  But it wasn’t a sure thing and I decided not to rush it.

After Angel’s, food and refueling ourselves we began traveling back on the 95 towards Las Vegas. I called Love Ranch and spoke with the house lady Beth, she informed me that Dennis hadn’t been by there yet, and she would give him a message. I gave her my number. She ended the conversation with “Have a good night.” I took that to mean, we weren’t going to be given the green light to shoot at Dennis Hof’s The Love Ranch South. So, I put the cruise control on 80 and set down the highway. “Were going back to Vegas,” I told Chris.  I didn’t think he’d call, in fact I didn’t think she’d even give him the message.  A few minutes later, however, I look down at my phone, which has intermittent service out in the desert and see that I have a missed call and a voicemail from a (775) area-code plus number. It was close to 6PM.  I was kind of surprised. I thought it was probably one of the girls calling us back, I’d given them all my business cards and numbers.  But, I was surprised to hear the message, that in fact it was Dennis Hof himself. I told him we were up the road, just past the Alien travel center and we were on our way. He said, “Okay, you are about 25 minutes away. See you soon.” The rest is history, as they say. We met and hung out with Dennis and his girlfriend Cami, and he let us film the brothel and the ladies, namely Vanessa, Daisy Mae and Bella and of course Cami made a cameo... 

This post is dedicated to you Love Ranch South And Angel’s Ladies, thank you, thank you for your cooperation and for letting us feature you in our film. We are deeply honored. 

Thank you, in Love, Light and Lube, Mou

Brothelville, America Tour 2012

Yesterday as we drove out from Las Vegas north on the 15, and then West out on the 95, we knew we were out in the desert but as we left civilization more and more it became apparent we were heading into the vast empty land of Area 51 and aliens we were also heading into what we affectionately term Brothelville, or Nye County, Nevada were there are now 7 legal houses of prostitution, bordellos, brothen, brothels.

What is a Brothel? 

Bordello, from the Old French borde meaning hut. Brothel, from the Germanic-French brothen meaning go to ruin. These unique to Nevada business establishments are stringently regulated. Where such businesses can be located is determined by the county government. Some are found by themselves at lonely crossroads like Lida Junction, some are found in populated areas like Elko but none are found in heavily populated areas like Las Vegas or Reno.

Yesterday, we had the privilege to visit 6 brothels in Nye Co, Nevada.

1st stop: Bikinis. Bikinis opened last year and is the first of it’s kind in the area, in that it is a gentleman’s club and brothel.  The two ladies working in the bar were nice enough, and seemed eager to talk to us, however, we were given the kibosh by their owner who despite the bar being totally empty said, “We’re trying to run a business here.” Bikinis is located at 100 Airport Rd, in Beatty, NV.

2^nd stop: Angel’s Ladies. Angel’s Ladies serves no alcohol. Most of the brothels we’d been to had a full bar, this was the first of it’s kind. Angel's Ladies is an “Oasis in the Desert. With over 80 acres of land to hike and play in, a natural Hot Mineral Spring that feeds the 65,000 gallon Swimming Pool, trees and private bungalows. Angel's offers what no other Nevada Brothel can. Seclusion, privacy and Fun in the Sun with the Girl of your choice.” http://brothelangelsladies.com/tour.html  And true to their calling we did find that they were the “ THE FRIENDLIEST BROTHEL IN NEVADA, 
 AN OASIS IN THE DESERT!” Mac, the somewhat owner talked openly to us about his home and love for the place and the ladies were friendly and open.

Angel’s Ladies is located in Beatty,  NV off the 95 Hwy.

3^rd stop:  Shady Lady Ranch. About an hour past Angel’s Ladies is Shady Lady.  We were told by an old man that opened the door that their ladies did not want to participate on film.

4^th stop: Dennis Hof’s The Love Ranch. Located in Crystal Nevada, off the 95 and the 160 hwy. This is the former Cherry Patch 2, which is being renovated by Mr. Cathouse himself Dennis Hof’s, (owner of The Bunny Ranch which was the setting for Cathouse on HBO). We met with some really lovely ladies here,  who will call Peaches and Cream,  for now, who were both ready and willing to be shot on camera, but wanted to get the okay from their boss man, Mr. Dennis Hof. It just so happenes that he came into town last night, so we’re heading back to Love Ranch today, to plead our case. One of the ladies told us that Dennis is speaking at Oxford on the legalization of prostitution, and how making it illegal perpetuates trafficking. We think alike Mr. Hofs… To be continued.

 

5^th stop: Chicken Ranch.  The lady at the door told us to check with Judy. “She’ll be in tomorrow.” No luck, but we’ll be back. 

6^th stop: Sheri’s Ranch. We spent quite a bit of time bonding with the ladies of Sheri’s last time, in August 2011. We are still waiting for Sheri’s corporate to approve the filming. Sheri’s is a bigger brothel, with 5 times as many women and just a higher caliber of clientele. We’d love to share the love with Sheri’s but time is of the essence, and this film needs to be made.

This film isn’t about any particular brothel, but since Brothels cannot advertise (their women can) we can provide exposure in exchange. Our goal is to get the information about legalized prostitution out. Too many women are being solicited, often against all odds, and subject to violence, submission, hostility, and suffering. We’d love to end suffering, and trafficking, and of course general attitudes about sex, and prostitution.

Did you know that many men go to a prostitute for intimacy, tenderness, cuddling? Sometimes they don’t even want sex.

Did you know that the women in these brothels are tested, both urine and blood, weekly for STDs and HIV? 

Did you know condom use is required in brothels? 

Brothels are safer than hooking up with a random chic at a bar. Most brothels welcome women, also.  Brothels have saved many a marriages. When relationships go awry,  a man can get reset emotionally by spending the evening with a clean, warm and gentle lady, who encourages him to go back home and be a better husband. 

Prostitutes can be a married woman’s best friend. If only most married women knew this. But illegalized acts of solicitation have caused women to fear this profession and men’s sexuality to be vilified. Our goal is to change attitudes. 

We’re heading back out to Crystal and Beatty, NV today. So far some of the smaller brothels will be featured in our film: Stardust Ranch and Big 4 Ranch both in Ely, NV which we visited last August, and now Angel’s Ladies, in Beatty NV.

 

Not all brothels are created equal, but they are all homes of legalized prostitution and that is a good thing.

Las Vegas, NV and surrounding areas - March 30, 2012:  Darvo Hi Films and Overlooked Productions presents a documentary film about sex and religion: Temples & Brothels.  Darvo Hi Films is a documentary film production company based out of Los Angeles, CA and Kansas City, MO.

FILM PROPOSAL

The film is about sex and religion, and will focus on concepts, ideologies and beliefs surrounding sexual practices, which are instigated by religious dogma and then carried out in society by law enforcement and other religious followers, often times perpetuating fear, misunderstanding, lack of education, judgment, stigma, and sometimes worse, which ultimately have led us to a moral breakdown in humanity. Education, normalization and in many cases legalization are at the root of breaking down the ongoing corruption on humanity.  This film will focus on concepts such as prostitution or polygamy which are illegal in most states.  Normalization of prostitution, polygamy and various other 'alternative' sex practices would help to eliminate violence, objectification, control, and the overall lack of independence of women and would stop vilifying men as perverts, perpetrators and beasts. A healthy understanding of human sexuality would benefit society as a whole.

One of the bigger goals for this film is to discuss why the business of prostitution is beneficial to our society, and why legalization is a better choice.  We will do this by gathering footage from the sex workers and the patrons who benefit from this business by discussing it’s positive aspects in their lives

. 
Society vilifies men and objectifies women who partake in the prostitution business, yet it is the oldest profession in the world. The goal of this film is to normalize men's sexuality, to encourage people to have healthy attitudes about sex. It is our belief that until we legalize prostitution, or at least recognize prostitution as a positive aspect of business and society, women will continue to be objectified, targeted through violence, control and manipulation. The stigma around prostitution limits women's autonomy, and perpetuates shame and guilt around sex for everyone.

We will start this journey in America, and then we will go to the other side of the world, Asia, where there is another epidemic which undermines both women and men's sexuality, and that is human trafficking. As long as we perpetuate religious doctrines upon our sexuality, inhumane treatment of humans, whether, man, woman or child will continue.

All of the contributors and crew members of the film have a strong personal dedication to the concepts of the film as well. Sex and religion are powerful and meaningful concepts in most people’s lives, and Temples and Brothels hopes to bridge the gap.

What started out as a desire to make an art project, in a desire to artfully capture the beauty of the temples and the people's sometimes fanatical religious or spiritual beliefs in the East, then shifted into a film about sex and religion in the West, since we have temples right here in America, and religious, spiritual and sexual practice which can sometimes be veiwed as fanatical.  

 

Our goal was to expose sexual practices in a positive light. We feel that through exposure, information and knowledge is the only way society will slowly begin to shift its attitudes about sex and religion.  But since then my concept has shifted a bit.

Although we still want to make a sex positive film, about flying your freak flag, about not being judged, we also cannot ignore what is going on with the sex trade. The sex slave trade is not one of positive sexuality and the deficit to our humanity is huge. It has been brought to my attention on numerous occasions that the sex trade is being greatly under-reported in our media, while it continues to grow in a detrimental way, around the world. I couldn't make a film about Temples and Brothels while ignoring the sex slave and human trafficking.

So, we're heading to Southeast Asia. When? Well, ideally we will go in Fall 2012. As this film has already shown us, it keeps shifting and turning, as we continue to forge forward. In the end, this film is about sex and religion, but we keep uncovering so many important layers. 

Trafficking is huge right here in the United States, as well as in Eastern Europe, Asia. But sex and religion practices are as vast as the world is wide.  

So, we've created a new campaign page to help us raise funds to go to Asia this fall. We need money for the following things:

- food costs for cast and crew;
- location costs;
- rental costs for camera, lens and sound equipment;
- very basic gas stipends and transportation costs for everyone involved;
- psychology and sexual health department costs on material;
- festival entry fees;
- administrative costs;
- emergency fund (essential in order to cover any unforeseeable costs that may arise);
- fundraising fees (credit card fees; 4% IndieGogo fee if we reach our goal - otherwise, 9%).

We are currently in the first phase of our film making journey. We spent 2011 in the West, the FAR West, that is the Southwest of the United States. We visited Brothels in Nevada, we visited Temples in Utah, we surviellanced the border cities along Arizona, Nevada, and Utah which are populated with fundamentalists, polygamists and the like, and in California we spoke to many who have been affected by an initiation done by the church, called Proposition 8. This country alone holds a vast array of ideologies and lifetstyles which are far to often, in my opinion, disected and judged. I think everyone has a human right to live and express themselves as they please, as long as it doesn't hurt others. But at last we don't. We do pass judgment and often times that is a result of a lack of understanding and a lack of knowledge.  With a little exposure and education a lot about humanity and the choices we make as individuals could be better understood.

This documentary is all about exposure and education, to reverse some of the judgment and the hatred. It's a mighty world out there, and we hope to bring it to you in the most positive light.

Temples and Brothels, is the name of the film project. But we cannot do this alone. A little donation goes a long way. Please stop by our donation page and give us $5. Every bit counts :-)

A $5 contribution gets you a mention in the film credits as Contributor.

Any contribution above $50 for Associate Producer. Without your help it simply cannot be done!!

Simple. 

Thank You again for stopping by and for sharing our interest in Temples and Brothels.

It's a flurry of activity as Warren Jeffs the leader of the FLDS church (the fundamentalist mormons, some of which are polygamists) issued a statement from prison to his members. Since then there has been interviewing followed by mass-exodusing in the cities of Colorado City, AZ and Hildale, UT. It's a tough time for the members of the FLDS church. Should they stay or should they go? 

Please see the Temples and Brothels facebook page for actual news clips.

I have been in contact with Tonia Tewell. She is the founder of Holding out HELP in Utah. They help polygs fleeing their homes and community. She's the one in the FOX news clip I posted on the FB page. If you live in the area, your help may be needed. 

Please also check out, Sons of Perdition, a documentary film about 3 FLDS boys who fleed Colorado City. The movie came out in 2010.

WANTED: MORMONS (current or former) who have experience with the POLYGAMY lifestyle

 

I am doing research for a documentary film project on sexuality, lifestyles and religions called Temples and Brothels (www.TemplesandBrothels.com)

 

I am looking for and would love talk to any Mormons, past or present,  affiliated with the FLDS Church who has any information on the Polygamy experience, good or bad, past or present for our upcoming film.
