Astrid, I stumbled on this site by googling 'pulp paperback blog' because, as both an artist and a child of the '60s, for me the artwork of these sorts of things makes them still what I call power objects in that they were the internet of their day, hinting, as their covers did, at forbidden information about subjects just over the horizon of my adolescence, (and indeed about the greater world beyond '60s' Liverpool, UK), which'd've otherwise been left purely to the power of my imagination.
But I thought I'd stumbled on something really racy when I noticed you referring to yourself as an "amateur sewer".
...until I realised you merely meant you liked to sew, (as opposed to you considered yourself a 'conduit' for conducting human cultural 'sewage' or maybe something even more 'steamy').
FringePop is a showcase for uncommon and esoteric cultural artifacts. The focus is on unusual items from both popular and fringe culture, with an emphasis on subversive pieces. The items shown are from the author's personal collection, unless otherwise noted.
I am a pop culture buff and collector, who focuses on the odd, subversive, and fringe elements of Western culture. In 2005, I edited a book for Feral House called "Sin-A-Rama: Sleaze Sex Paperbacks of the Sixties." The vintage oddities in my collection include victoriana, sideshow, medical, and kitsch. I am also an amateur sewer, making clothing from vintage mod patterns.
Ah yeahh--hot Mormonic housewives. Honey in mini quite bodacious...but he's looks a bit...puny for a..Brigham.
ReplyDeleteMaybe what he lacks in brawn he makes up for in smarmy charisma. That's what his face screams to me : - )

Ha ha! That's very funny. I can't imagine being a conduit for cultural sewage. There's so much of it!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the blog too : - )
