Butlin’s Crazy House


image



image
Old amusement park attractions are inevitably weird.

Consider the Crazy House once to be found in Felixstowe, UK.

These old postcard images come from the Flickr set of a fellow who uses the handle Photoaf.

The house was part of a Butlin's Amusement Park. For the history of the founder, Billy Butlin, eventually knighted for his recreational achievements, visit here.

Wouldn't you have loved to experience this park during its heyday, some seventy years ago?

Yma Sumac, RIP

Goodbye, Yma Sumac, one of history's greatest and weirdest singers.

Follies of the Mad Men #41

image
[From Playboy magazine for June 1974.]

"Let's take a screeching unfunny harridan, dress her in Colonial drag, then simulate a hideous war wound using our product as a makeshift sling. Then, let's run the ad in a magazine filled with beautiful naked women for contrast."

Bernie und Ert

As long as we've been talking about German humor....

First the original, with superior voice-acting, then an English dub, for comprehension.

Wild Gals of the Naked West

Could Russ Meyer be considered the grandfather of the popular Deadwood TV show? Check out this trailer for his WILD GALS OF THE NAKED WEST, and decide for yourself.

Utterly (or is that "udderly"?) NSFW.

PS: bonus clip after the jump!

Dance of Desire

Yesterday we watched amateur Sheree. Today, we get her professional "sister." Get read for some vintage, gingerly-NSFW erotic dancing.

Sheree and her Tiger Dance

Why do I suddenly feel as if I'm watching an outtake from a David Lynch film?

How to solve the problem of unruly panhandlers?

The donation meter!

The picture here portrays one in Denver, which I found on the Flickr page of msitarzewski.

Polish Film Posters

Well Medicated has posted a collection of 50 Polish film posters. I picked out three at random: The Empire Strikes Back, Rosemary's Baby, and The Getaway. Compare them to the American versions below. I like the Polish ones better.
