Dirty Magazine Unveils 'Los Angeles' Issue

NEW YORK — New York-based sex and fashion magazine Dirty this week published its fifth issue, which focuses on Los Angeles and spotlights adult performers.

A rep billed the issue as “the mag’s first-ever issue devoted to a city besides New York, tipping its hat to Los Angeles.”

Co-curated by Dirty publisher Ripley Soprano and adult performer Brynn Michaels, the issue includes interviews with performers, free speech advocates, drug harm reductionists and skateboarders.

The issue features adult industry figures such as the FSC's Lotus Lain, Robby Echo and Gerard Damiano Jr., among others. Leigh Raven appears on the cover. 

“This issue is a brief history of Los Angeles perverts, from the birth of porno chic with ‘Deep Throat’ to the countless raids on the porn magazines that made their home in the San Fernando Valley in the 1970s, to leaks of celebrity sex tapes,” Soprano wrote in the Publisher’s Note.

Dirty was founded in 2021 and has been described by i-D magazine as “the horniest fashion publication.” The new issue is dedicated to Althea Flynt, who was married to Larry Flynt in the 1970s and 1980s and was co-publisher of Hustler.

“It’s this kind of long game we are playing with Dirty mag,” Soprano noted, “where we turn away from the internet and the bullshit it comes with in favor of building our own distribution system, connecting directly with our audience through mail order subscriptions, doing in person community outreach, only working with advertisers who we fuck with, putting harm reduction at the center of our values, and not relying on a traditional publisher.”

The publisher sees Dirty as part of “the legacy that the Flynts left behind,” explaining that their struggles “continue to inspire the magazine’s efforts to proliferate harm reduction and anti-censorship free speech rights for pornographers and punks alike, striking out and attempting to produce a new business model.”

The Los Angeles issue, Soprano continued, highlights many stories that touch upon “the realities of sex workers, and the magazine brings this to light not just through the interviews but also the fashion editorial that depicts a 1970s era raid of a porn magazine by a fictional law enforcement society they coined ‘Office of peace and morality, San Fernando precinct, 1312.’”

The magazine is available for preorder through DirtyMagazine.com and will appear on newsstands in October.
