Have A Good Time

This was a contribution to a poster contest in 1952 for the Swedish American Line by artist Inga-Greta Solbreck-Möller (1918-1995). The "Have a good time"-poster didn't win but it is a winner just the same.
You can buy a new print of it at Come To Sweden.

Danish 70s Interior Design Porno Style


Let's take a look what's beyond, behind and beneath the flesh in Danish porn magazines of the 70s. Behold and be amazed by the crazy wallpapers, the psychadelic posters, the colorful carpets, the furniture, lamps and crazy kitsch accessories.

Yes, this is a repost from 2009. It was probably the biggest hit that Martin Klasch and my other (now neglected) blog Musselsoppans Vänner ever had. The Russian edition of Esquire contacted me to get permission to use the images. Which they did. In March 2010, I believe.
