One Man's Naked Polaroid, Another Man's Treasure

Ever take dirty Polaroids of your wife? Maybe wrote a pornographic love note to your boyfriend? Doodle a penis bouquet on a cocktail napkin?
Ever wanted to get your hands on any of the above and enjoy a voyeuristic snapshot into somebody else’s sex life?
If your answer to any of these questions was yes, you might be interested in checking out the DIRTY FOUND Outreach Program.
Support for LAist comes from
Taking place this Friday, April 27th at the Steve Allen Theatreon Hollywood Blvd., the DIRTY FOUND Outreach Program is a celebration of nasty castaways in the form of anything from love letters and sex toy shopping lists to nudie pics and deviant doodlings.
DIRTY FOUND is a filthy spin-off of its cleaner, less bawdy big sister, FOUND Magazine.
If you’ve never spent 40 minutes of your lunchtime perusing the online magazine, FOUND…you are missing out. It’s a landmine of random FOUND items sent in from all over the country. Children’s love notes picked up on playgrounds, pissed off postcards, mysterious family photographs, bizarre to-do lists… A voyeur’s treasure trove!
Jason Bitner and Arthur Jones, the FOUND founders, are on a coast-to-coast, 15-city tour, showcasing a plethora of pornographic peeks into the sex lives and thoughts of your neighbors…workmates…cousins…friends…
So grab that faceless, nasty, spread-eagle shot you found in the pocket of that jacket your Uncle Ted gave you. The one he must’ve forgotten about. You know…the one that you pray isn’t of Aunt Susan… and bring it along to the DIRTY FOUND Outreach Program and tell its story…

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
