18. What part did Homegrown play in box cover art for pornos and the "what you see is what you get" approach?
I touched on this a bit earlier, but allow me to elaborate. With our mail order direct sales we learned early on that being direct was best. So that is what led to our putting out a title, saying fuck it, and calling it "Oversexed, Overweight, and Over 40". When this turned out to be one of the top sellers for over a year then we knew that we were on to something. Mind you, this was back when every single porn coming out of the valley was named something ridiculously ubiquitious like "Hot Cherry Tarts" or word plays on popular mainstream titles like "Gums".
I can't take much credit for us doing that though since I was always trying to go with obscure titles that seemed cool to me at the time but lacked the sizzle of something like "Double Anal Club". My bro is who really pushed for the "tell it like it is approach" and I have to agree that was a great way to go.
I think we might of had to throw each other through a few walls though first before I accepted the idea.
