Sin Worth Paying For – Article by DTLV
DTLV.com is an ongoing love letter to the people, places and wild ambitions of Downtown Las Vegas. Geoff Carter, Editor of DTLV, features a wonderful Q&A with Dr. Laura regarding the 12 Inches of Sin’s Kickstarter campaign. It’s a a super fun read!
“Every year, Sin City Gallery presents 12 Inches of Sin, a juried show of erotic art from all over the world. There are no restrictions on the pieces artists can submit for possible inclusion in the show, save for one: The art piece can be no larger than one foot square. So it is written, so let’s get the yardstick.
However, there are no limits on how much the event itself can grow. Sin City’s owner and creative director, Dr. Laura Henkel, would like to expand our idea of what 12 Inches of Sin can be, beginning with it being the source of some stylish and very NSFW coffee table books. There are still two weeks to go in Sin City’s Kickstarter campaign “12 Inches of Sin: So Much Art You Can Barely Fit it All In”—a fundraising drive which, if successful, will allow for the printing of four, count ’em, hardcover books of award-winning erotic art.
If you’re already sold on the idea, we suggest you go to the 12 Inches Kickstarter page right now and kick in some money towards their $25,000 goal, and maybe blush a bit at the names of the pledge premiums (everything from “Stick It Places” to “The Orgy”). But on the chance that you’re not ready to commit—perfectly natural, don’t let it bother you—we asked Dr. Henkel to talk us through it.”
