1960s & 1970s Trashy Sexploitation Novels

Bawdy and fairly explicit paperback novel covers: 1960 - 1973.

These trashy treasures were a recent find at Pennsylvania's Wind Gap Flea Market.

An Ikea visit is always good fun, even if I don't buy anything.

I can't resist a chemtrail-colored sunset in an industrial space.

A corner booth always makes me smile, especially when warmly lit.

Through a bootleg DVD source, which sells copies of old shows that are not otherwise commercially available, I've become acquainted with some episodes of the 1966 TV show The Green Hornet.  It's got the same tone as the far superior Batman series, but with less color and cartoonish, over the top action.

I went here, I went there... I walked past a few interesting urban vignettes.

I sought out magic in my everyday spaces, both interior and exterior...

As always, the studio sinks at work were an ongoing and colorful theme. They're my workplace lava lamps. 

A chemical universe unto itself, the photo studio proved a colorful spot too.

Philadelphia greeted me warmly as I stepped through the Reading Terminal.

Friends sent me gifts and accompanied me for meals.

I found intrigue in the fine line between still life and installation.

I found wonder in my own life's stillness and scenes that are just around the corner...

The Hopefuls (1966)

Everything about this hardcover book just screams 1966... A wonderfully illustrated time capsule.

Souvenir 1978: The Bee Gees' EPIC Sgt. Pepper Disaster

Many thanks to Janie for this awesome piece of folly of pop culture tomfoolery.

What do we think ever became of the career of that poor Sandy (Strawberry Fields) Farina?

Eleven years after The Beatles' landmark Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band LP, Robert Stigwood Productions actually thought it would be a FANTASTIC idea to put The Bee Gees, Peter Frampton and George Burns in a $12,000,000.00 cinematic send-up of those (and other) Fab Four songs.  Clearly, everyone was riding high on more than just The Bee Gees' Post-Saturday Night Fever hubris and I'm certain that more than a few people got fired when the tidal wave of critical brickbats started swinging.  

36 Years Past Due

Found in a discarded library book: I really wouldn't want to pay the fine on THAT.
