Bal de l'Internat 1912


The dog carrying the arm is the perfect grace note. Where did I leave my time machine?

I can confirm that Florida is 90% swamp and alligators. Please, do not come here. We will fight the alligators for you.

Frankfurters

Ignoring the fact that women in party dresses are eating hot dogs off strings, I just want to know what has that lady in the middle so pissed off. She is about to straight up punch someone.

The longer I look at this, the less I understand it. Mother/Daughter picnic? What's up with that fence?

Bold as Brass

I'm half convinced I'd already posted this one. I mean, why wouldn't I? Naked hippie band. I think the guy on our left is marching to a different drum, though.

Psych-Out Freak-Out

I grabbed this one because the image is, frankly, awesome. The staring eye! The naked band! The spanking! But then I looked up J. X. Williams and found out that he was a blackballed, mafia-funded underground/porn director who's now withdrawn from public life*. And now I have to share with you his filmography:

The 400 Blow Jobs (1964); Peep Show (1965); L'Homme La Femme Le Film (1966); Hollywood Play Girls (1966); E.S.P. Orgy (1967); Supermaniacs (1968); Mondo Vietnam (1968); The Phantom of the Cinema (1969); Norwegian Wood (1970); The Virgin Sacrifice (1970); Prison Girls (1972); kaboom! (1973); Sex Crimes of the 21st Century (1974); L.A. Death Trip (1975); Morrie (1976); You Axed For It (1978); Nunf*cker (1979)

Who looks at a naked woman and doesn't smile? These stiffs need to loosen up.

Gives Oneself Over

I'm not familiar with the story this illustrates, but I can't stop looking at it. He looks very calm for someone wrapped in a cobra at Kali's feet in the middle of bloody battle.

Just once, I want to be at a party and see a conga line break out. When did this stop happening?

Well, if you're going to show the Actual Birth of a Baby!, best to do it in color.

Queen of the Cha Cha

The thing about the French Quarter is, despite all the bead shops and Big Ass Beers, parts of it are still just like this.

House

I actually, literally have dreams like this. Usually the kind where I am trying to get ready for work, but my room has multiple doors and people keep walking in and out and I keep getting caught up in trying to keep them out so I can get dressed.
