You've probably seen the newest statue by artist Daniel Edwards, well known for his satirical life size statues of celebrities from Paris Hilton to Britney Spears to Oprah and even Octo-Mom (if we can even call her a celebrity), of 17 year old Justin Bieber and 19 year old Selena Gomez standing side by side naked. It's set to be unveiled at New Fine Arts. Though it sounds like a museum or gallery, it's actually a porn store.
A Yelp reviewer had this to say about their beloved establishment:
Pick up your latest issue of "Beaver Hunt" magazine, or try "Busty Beauties," "Big Girls," or any of the fine publications offered.
The staff knows their porn/toys and are generally pretty friendly (the dudes more so than the girls).
For more insight into the establishment that will see the nude Bieber Gomez pair, check out the laundry list of obscenity charges the adult shop has faced since 2002. Some 14 clerks working at New Fine Arts Video's two Dallas stores picked up 22 movie-related obscenity charges, each punishable by up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine. One of the film's that got them in trouble was titled Euro Angels #20, Anal Retentive.
Edwards' works are always controversial and some will argue that this by itself borders on child porn. When you stick it in an actual porn store, does the line between the X-rated and art get way too blurred?
