Swedish Actresses: Babette Bardot
Babette Bardot
"The bonafide star of MONDO TOPLESS is Babette Bardot, a Swedish-French stripper who claimed she was a distant cousin of Babette Bardot and would star as...er...Babette, the scene-stealing French harlot in COMMON LAW CABIN! The mysterious blonde bombshell reportedly also had an affair with Russ in-between films! She mangles the English language like nobody's business, but is never less than captivating in both films. You simply cannot take your eyes off this giantess with the eye-popping figure, and unfortunately she made only one other film (I, MARQUIS DE SADE) before disappearing off the face of the earth." - Mondo Topless review at www.dvddrive-in.com
Whether she really was Swedish is kind of beside the point? Whatever that is.

Vintage Design: Expo 67
Expo 67
world fair in Montreal, Canada
You will find many links for Expo 67 sites at Wikipedia.
Here are a few sources I used for collecting the images:
Expo 67 postcard gallery, Expo 67 (un-)Official Guide, Expo 67 - a virtual experience, The Canadian Design Resource: Expo 67
Thank you all!
And finally, let me introduce Lillian Seymour. This lady visited Expo 67 and you can see her polaroid snapshots here.
Illustration: Vintage Stockholm
Images of Stockholm
or rather details of images found at the Institut Cartogràfic de Catalunya site. It is possible to register and download the full size images but I thought it would be pretty interesting to see what I could capture without doing so. So this is the result.
The site was found via BibliOdyssey
