We mourn the loss of Candida Royalle, who died last Monday, September 7, 2015.
“Candida really started the ‘Couples’ market in mainstream porn industry. She was the godmother, really the mother of the Couples porn movies,” Nan writes.
“I admired her for bringing her feminist porn to the mainstream market, that was always her goal, to open up the mainstream porn market to porn made by women for women.
“And she achieved that goal. Beautifully produced movies focusing on women’s pleasure. Always supportive and generous to us at Fatale, with her time and advice. She was one of our role models as we made our way bringing real lesbian porn to lesbians.”
A Picture Is Worth…
Saturday, September 19th, 2015Summer is over here in the Northern Hemisphere, and autumn beckons. Recently a much admired and well-loved feminist pioneer friend and colleague of ours died.
Candida Royalle, many of you know, was the visionary feminist pornographer who pioneered what became “couples porn,” which could be part of the mainstream. As Nan wrote in her sweet and moving column, “Remembering Candida,” Candida’s goal was always “to open up the mainstream porn market to porn made by women for women. And she achieved that goal.”
We posted a nice pic of Candida in the blog piece and on Fatale’s Facebook page. One classy lady!
