Magpie Tales #174 "The Good Old Daze"

Stanley Kubrick for Look Magazine, 1949 

World War II is over
So- light up baby
The fun has only begun
Soon we'll light up our bras
And burn flags in the streets.

    You take us through history with this one. Great read and a nice ode to black & white.

    A nice little step back in time. Sadly, these days, a burning bra of mine would go on for weeks!

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers!
