Yeastie Girlz sing Put a Lid On it

This remarkable trio called the Yeastie Girlz from 1988 were at the forefront of new modes of musical performance. This clip comes from Scarlot Harlot's Die Yuppie Scum, named after another Yeastie Girlz song. In this safe sex rap the Girlz explain the necessity of condom use. The movie, winner 'Best Documentary at Athens International Film Festival,' was a documentary of the 1988 Anarchist Conference in San Francisco. Visit yeastiegirlz.com for more info.

Welcome to the Scarlot Harlot Video Festival

Leigh represented the San Francisco Commission on the Status of Women on the Board of Supervisors' Task Force on Prostitution.

Documenting the Bay Area's multicultural and sexually diverse political and artistic communities, Scarlot Harlot explores the Bay Area's historic cultural and artistic underground from an irreverent and intimate point of view. In a time when mainstream media has become a mouthpiece for corporate interests in America, Scarlot Harlot provides a fresh, irreverent perspective. Challenging conventions of sexuality, aesthetics, technology and the prevailing social system, Leigh has been a pioneer in the development of television as a tool for activism and social change. Three time American Film Institute award winner, Leigh is a recipient of grants from the Film Arts Foundation, San Francisco, the Lyn Blumenthal Memorial Fund (Chicago) and Art Matters (New York) in addition to numerous screenings and awards in the U.S. and around the world.
