Nude On Hidden Camera

Nude On Hidden Camera by Michael Manara

Nude On Hidden CameraIt’s probably against the law to record someone without their consent, unless you’re a photographer. The laws vary from state to state, but in general, if you’re filming something in a space where the person might expect privacy–like a bathroom or bedroom–it’s considered video voyeurism and is illegal. Avoid getting in trouble by filming in a place where the person would not have a reasonable expectation for privacy. Also, cover any cables visible with books or paper.

Hidden Camera stars Honey, the star in Manara’s Butterscotch tales, in a series of short stories in which she is used as a stand in for a filmed piece voyeurism. She also appears in a story in which Honey is used as a stooge in a beauty contest and a secret witness at a church convention. It’s a fusion of farce and erotica that predated the advent of guerilla video and exploitative stunt-based ‘reality’ TV, and it remains one of Manara’s best works from this period.

It’s reprinted in Manara Erotica volume 3, there retitled Sexy Camera. Also available in hardcover as the entire collection. (Michael Manara’s website)
