Unwrapped

Holy Egyptology, Batman! Here's a sequential unwrapping from Sensations Revue Mensuelle magazine number 13, 1949. A sublime slice of French cheesecake fluff titled "La Momie", definitely in the burlesque stage show vein of the Folies BergĂ©re. 










One of the stills from this set was adapted for the cover art of the University of Vice Records release Primitive Paradise: Early Exotica 1920 - 1947, a great compilation that compiles forgotten 78s of Latin and Hawaiian tunes from the early days of recorded music, before the term "Exotica" became a household term for faux ethnography. I definitely recommend checking out anything University of Vice has put out.

Wild!


Here's a quickie pen doodle I did while in bed on a Friday night, waiting to fall asleep. Something in the vein of the men's interest magazines of the 1950s and 60s.
