In Defence of Concealed Nudity - Pee Wee Vindicated
Pee Wee Herman was facing 10-20 years in the 'Big House' for his massive collection of erotic memorabilia. Not that having a massive collection of erotic memorabilia is wrong - if it was then we all might be facing 10 to 20 in the 'Big House' - it's just that some of his erotic memorabilia might of contained explicitly erotic pictures of minors.

This was the second such brush with the law for Pee Wee, having been convicted of indecent exposure a few years back. The first conviction stemmed from an incident in which Pee Wee exposed himself to Joan River's at the People's Choice Awards. Luckily, this time Pee Wee was able to escape the wrath of the law and was vindicated in a court of his peers.


The defence was able to prove that the erotic collection of memorabilia wasn't all that extensive because the bulk of the collection consisted of nude photographs of people in nude Lycra bodysuits. Since nude Lycra bodysuits were defined as clothing by the defense, and thus were constituted as a covering or concealment of the naked body. Therefore if the nude bodies were covered by Lycra that only looked like nudity but weren't, then the faux-nude bodysuits worn by almost all the models in Pee Wee's vast and enormous collection actually made the collection the largest such collection of fully clothed models in North America. And if owning pictures of fully clothed people were to be classified as a crime then anyone with a camera would be open to prosecution.

It was a vindication for the Lycra industry and the proprietor's of tastefully done photographs. The ruling has apparently rejuvenated Pee Wee's career to the point of super stardom. Pee Wee is now able to command upwards of $20 million a picture; but, alas, Pee Wee is content to continue scouring the world and its auction houses for rare erotic memorabilia. Pee Wee is a true erotic pioneer - an erotic pioneer of the most erotic proportions.
