Loughlin, Nevada- Thirty Five years later Linda Lovelace is still causing consternation among the masses.
Judging by what happened, it seems that car buffs in this Nevada town don’t have an appreciation for the movie Deep Throat, www.xxxdeepthroat.com, or its star Lovelace. Consequently, Arrow Productions’ Paul Interlandi came back from a car show last weekend without any trophies.
Interlandi owns a ’74 Vette www.adultfyi.com/read.php?ID=21161 which has been making a promotional tour on behalf of the 35th Anniversary of the film Deep Throat. And a car show in Loughlin was one of the stops.
“It was an all-Corvette car show, they had 600 Corvettes there,” explains Interlandi. “I showed the car, and they had a hard time voting for me. It wasn’t because of the car. I’ve seen a lot of Corvettes and mine was in the top three. But none of the women would vote for me.” [Customized with Linda Lovelace wearing a bathing suit, no less.]
“So I lost pretty much all the women’s votes,” says Interlandi. “It was kind of strange. The public came to look at the car and got their picture taken with it. It was a big hit. But the people who brought cars there were afraid to come up and talk to us. They were thinking we were some kind of weirdos because we had Deep Throat on our hood.
“Occasionally they would pick somebody- kind of like in grammar school- to go up and say why did you put that on your hood? I explained that it was the 35th anniversary of Deep Throat and that I know the owner of the title. He asked me if I would be willing to use my car to commemorate the anniversary. I said yes. That would calm them down, but they thought I was some kind of pervert. So they’re still talking about it. Rumors have followed me back to Vegas and all the Corvette owners in town are talking about the Deep Throat car that went to the show.”
Last year Interlandi’s car came in second place. The same car that won first place then won first place this year.
“That gives you a good idea of where I should have been,” laughs Interlandi. “I got discriminated against.” Interlandi shares my feelings of moral outrage.
“Because other than the words Deep Throat, there’s nothing obscene about this,” he states. Perhaps stretching the point a bit, Interlandi notes that the husband of his biggest critic is a plumber.
“What he does for a living is touch shit – he deals with shit all day. What do I deal with? Sex? I’d rather deal with the sex and let somebody else touch the shit. Don’t get high and mighty with me that your husband has a better job. I don’t touch shit. He goes in and unclogs drains.”
Interlandi is headed for El Paso and a couple of other stops before arriving in Miami for the Erotica, Miami show.
“We’re showing the car at Erotica, Miami.”
