Mass produced still life prints hang window side. Warm light glows through curtains matching colorless walls. Bleached cotton dresses the table. Cloth napkins neatly folded into triangle shapes sit on the good china set asymmetrically. A faux copper shaded hurricane lamp hangs has the best view.
The gentlemen of the house experience a moment […]
The Onion In The Petunia Patch, Bob Baker Marionette Theater, Los Angeles, 1955. Twin crying onions sing back up for a half woman/half petunia in front of a plastic flowered picket fence in front of a fancy front porch.
Bob Baker is a hero of mine. How many people do you know that found […]
A slat-sided, green-gabled house seems well balanced on a flatbed trailer fixed to a shiny bright-eyed truck. Wide set exterior rear view mirrors give the driver a view of nothing behind him but twin ten pane windows. One window is up the other down. This extra wide load gives motor home a whole new meaning. […]
Bright red cardinals among leafy greens and blossom bouquets in a repeating wallpaper pattern provide a perfect backdrop for a fresh-faced young couple posing for their official wedding cake cutting portrait.
For this momentous occasion the modest bride wears a simple suit of oyster white linen with abalone buttons and hip pocket flaps. Her Peter […]
Is this what happens when you watch one too many episodes of H&R Puff ‘n Stuff? And I want to know how this human piñata is going to find her way around the ballroom. She can barely see with one eye through those big juicy red lips. Her husband is going to have to lead […]
A lovely lady tourist models her best metallic ric-rac trimmed western dress with the “Sunshine” City’s cactus cowboy spokes-character. I wonder if she had as good of a time in Tucson as I did. I was there last weekend.
First it was breakfast served poolside at Tucson’s timeless classic Arizona Inn. This oh-so-charming desert town […]
This is Mrs. Polehugger “gettin’ her kicks,” just like the song suggests, “on route 66!” I have no idea what this woman’s real name is but I do know she holds onto poles wherever she goes. She is really hugging America’s Mother Road, as John Steinbeck called Route 66 in his 1940 novel the Grapes […]
So Tulsa’s legendary buried car emerges extra crispy and golden brown like it’s been battered and deep-fried like a piece of chicken. It’s shocking. People gasp. Some cry. How could this happen? How could the vault it was buried in have leaked? Why didn’t they do a better job? So many questions…so few answers. The […]
Oklahomans gawk at a beautiful brand new 1957 Plymouth. The car has just been lowered into the cement tomb and covered in plastic where it will rest undisturbed for fifty years. Visible is the white roof and the left front fender. 2007 must seemed like an eternity to these people because 2057 sure seems like […]
