The discussion was about peep shows, the quarter booths that were featured in the ADULT movies stores and shops all around the bay area. Bill had said something about going to an adult stag shop, and Lisa wanted to go with him. "OK, OK... Get your jacket and let's go," Bill gave in with resignation to her plea. Heading up for San Francisco on highway 101 in the car, Lisa petted Bill's thigh as they drove into the city to park in the downtown area. Neon signs flashed and glittered with bar and cocktail lounge names in lights. "Funny thing is, almost all of the Adult Book stores with the quarter peep shows are painted yellow. I don't know where it came from but, there was a movie called, "I am Curious Yellow", some years ago. Maybe the color of the stores came from the movie," Bill remarked. They picked an Adult Book store on the north side of the street and entered. Lisa was amazed at the color magazines of fucking and sucking that covered the walls, and selections of vibrators, creams, jellies, and various other sexual aids were in racks, counters, and stands around the room. At one end of the room, a sign '.25 Movies' hung over the door. As Bill got quarters from the change machine, Lisa looked at the magazine covers. One of the books had a German shepherd dog frolicking with a nude blonde haired girl. Lisa thought about Dumdum and her day, until Bill took her arm and headed under the sign. A framed window with advertisements of the movies available in each booth was dimly lit just inside the entrance as they stood, pouring over the available selections. A number above each advertisement indicating in which booth the movie would show. |
