Is it Art?

 

Sock it to me: And you thought that stripping, screwing, cruising and boozing were strictly human vices. “Les aventures érotiques de Chaussette,” “The Diary of a Horny Housewife,” “Love Lessons” and “Homo on the Range” are sock puppet porno shorts starring the Naughty Soxxx, a foot-friendly conception of local film production ensembles Bastard Amber and Right on Red. With chronically randy characters and totally transparent plot lines to rival any people porn, writer-directors Elza Kephart and Chantal Houtteman have made an ambitious, high-end production that, strangely, will air on CBC TV over four nights this week (April 4, 5, 8 and 9 between 11:30 p.m.–12:30 a.m.). For a complete guide to characters such as massage parlour owner Monsieur Monsieur and naughty Chaussette from Sept-Îles, as well as episode synopses, go to www.naughtysoxxx.com. And remember that deep within sock drawers the world over, this could be happening. :
