Pulp International - Promo image of Japanese actress Meg Flower from 1971

Sep 20 2012

Steamy? Yes. Dirty? Not on your life.

So, here’s another of those pinku promos we’ve been saving up. This one features Japanese actress and pop singer Meg Flower in an unusual pelvis forward pose that hints at provocation even as she tastefully covers her, um, flower. Well, tasteful is in the eye of the beholder. We think this kind of almost full frontal shot is inherently tasteful, but the Pulp Intl. girlfriends do not. Or at least, they don’t until we remind them that the internet is rife with people sticking all kinds of objects into all kinds of orifices, often with violent undertones, which means this forty-one-year-old image is strictly PG-13. But it’s a debate we suspect we’ll continue to have. And you better hope we win, because we have lots more of these we won’t get to post if we lose.

The headlines that mattered yesteryear.

1942—Ted Williams Enlists

Baseball player Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox enlists in the United States Marine Corps, where he undergoes flight training and eventually serves as a flight instructor in Pensacola, Florida. The years he lost to World War II (and later another year to the Korean War) considerably diminished his career baseball statistics, but even so, he is indisputably one of greatest players in the history of the sport.

1924—Leopold and Loeb Murder Bobby Franks

Two wealthy University of Chicago students named Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, Jr. murder 14-year-old Bobby Franks, motivated by no other reason than to prove their intellectual superiority by committing a perfect crime. But the duo are caught and sentenced to life in prison. Their crime becomes known as a "thrill killing", and their story later inspires various works of art, including the 1929 play Rope by Patrick Hamilton, and Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 film of the same name.

1916—Rockwell's First Post Cover Appears

The Saturday Evening Post publishes Norman Rockwell's painting "Boy with Baby Carriage", marking the first time his work appears on the cover of that magazine. Rockwell would go to paint many covers for the Post, becoming indelibly linked with the publication. During his long career Rockwell would eventually paint more than four thousand pieces, the vast majority of which are not on public display due to private ownership and destruction by fire.
