Vintage postcard: World exposition 1937

An interesting postcard from the world exposition - Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne - in Paris 1937. The Nazi-German pavilion on the left placed directly across the Stalin-Soviet pavilion on the right. Talk about premonition of things to come.




Uploaded to Vintage photographs by h rust

The German pavilion was designed by Albert Speer (and sculptor Josef Thorak) and the Soviet pavilion by Boris Mihailovich Iofan (and sculptor Vera Mukhina). Need I say they both were awarded the gold medal?

Please go here for more postcards and photos from the exposition!

Blog: Motel Hell

No, I haven't experienced a weekend at/of Motel Hell, but I have been absent. Busy, just busy...
Sorry about that!

Now, back to the good stuff.

Check out the blog, Motel Hell (from the very same guy that gave us Old Haunts; Deviled Ham; Malls Of America and Santa and Me!).

Vintage Ladies and Other Stuff

Here's a collection of postcards. There are vintage ladies - I'm not referring to elderly people but they would be if they are alive today - some nudes (NSFW), some movie stars and some other ladies. Then there are postcards of cute cats, some cartoons and Drew Barrymore (!)

You also get your doodle-a-day.
