About Me
- Astrid
- Atlanta, GA, United States
- 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.

I think if my eye doesn't open in 10 days, I'm doing more than just buying some salve!
ReplyDeleteGreat card!
Yeah, me too. Maybe if my eye was stuck shut in the morning...but then again, who knows what they put in that stuff!
ReplyDeleteOkay, that's really creepy. It looks like an insane ventriloquist dummy.
ReplyDeleteI may not sleep tonight now.
Good observation. I may not sleep tonight either. ; - )
