poetry !!
Went to a poetry reading in Vineland, NJ two Saturdays ago.
A buncha poets was there.
Me, I don't consider myself a poet, but I can scratch something out that sorta kinda almost is a poem.
Anyhoo, we all did something like a chain poem. The first person would write a sentence, fold the paper over, just showing the last word of the sentence. So no one knows what was written before, except for that last word.
The next person had to start their sentence with that word. Then they'd hide their sentence, leaving just that last word visible, and so on.
I was the last person in the chain.
Here's the poem:

EXQUISITE CORPSE: APRIL 8TH, 2017
Political standing aside, our hero grasps to his lost shred of
humanity is over there in a box so get the
car possessed by evil demons bent on eating souls of
children of the sun are crying for
water dances, tumbles, and dives into cracks, onto
pavement rough, jagged shards buried in
my dog loves to chase prisms on the
carpet. pressed with cautious, furtive
tread the threadbare runners
lightly fell the cinders from the bonfire celebrating the
end of it
all.
What's in pink is my contribution.
Thank you.

The Tuesday Song of the Week
Saw some of the old pic Kismet a couple days ago, and was sorta kinda bowled over by Dolores Gray.
Today's Tuesday Song of the Week isn't from that pic, but from another one she was in, to wit It's Always Fair Weather:

Friday's six Made in USA novelty print fabrics
Sorry I haven't been keeping up, I'm busy a lot during the week playing sick for money.

Anyway, you can expect these outages until mid-May, when the med school year is finally over.
Enough excuses, here's what you came for:

Remember seeing these gals last time?
That's them before they were hand-colored. Some peeps prefer the original sepia.
A VERY cool novelty print for seashore wear and/or shore house decor.
This is Billy the Kid, from an old UK comic
Apparently, the Brits were unaware that Billy the Kid was no hero.
Here's Billy explaining his life's motto, i.e. 'Billy the Kid travels alone.'
Both of the above would make some bo cool westernwear and/or neat drapes for the western man cave.
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the Bird Lady.
She'd look marvelous on a dress, particularly one with lotsa frou frou.
Don't I hand-color good?
This is bo cool - an illustration of a 19th century book I have on raising farm critters.
Above are the long-extinct Bucks County fowl.
I'd love a dress or skirt with this print.
Would also make marvy curtains for a rooster decor.
Joan's in the house !!
And posing in an ad for Stereo Realist cameras.
Joan looks good on everything.

Today we have something royally marvelous:
Her Royal Highness Alexandra of Denmark aka Queen Alexandra, wife of Edward VII.
I think she'd look VERY nifty on a dress or a skirt.

The face looks like it belongs to Grace Kelly, I think.
Next we got two VERY neat prints:
from a 1920s ad for Arrow shirts and collars
Don't I hand-color good?
circa 1910 Atlantic City bathing beauties
Their beauty is inner beauty, which is worth more than the other kind.
Don't I really and truly hand-color good?
All of the above can be had in two kinds of cotton, polyester, and linen.
Get it - and so much more print yardage here:
