Time for a pulp countdown now, and today it's my top 10 funky flight attendant uniforms!

This thread may involve go-go boots... #ThursdayThoughts
At #10: Lufthansa! This uniform was styled on the condiment dispensers at TempelAtathof Airport.
At #9: Caledonian Airlines! This look was later used in the film Heathers.
At #8: Southwest Airlines! Here we can see cabin crew explaining to the confused CEO which way the sky is.
At #7: Air France! A natty little knitted outfit that of course includes a beret.
At #6: El-Al! A rave choice putting your crew in uniforms they can't actually walk in.
At #5: Transair! Mustard capes and soft felt top hats makes a trip with Transair feel like a night at the opera. A psychedelic opera, but there you go.
At #4: United Airlines! A Mary Quant dress and a truckers cap - what a pairing!
At #3: Banriff Airways! They do look like Batman TV series villains...
At #2: Alaska Airlines! "Ra-Ra-Rasputin..."
And at #1: Hawaiian Airlines! Book 'em Danno!
More pulp countdowns another time. Must fly...

Here are two digital artworks by Charles Csuri: almost half a century seperates them. How did we get from one to the other, and what happened along the way?

This is the story of early digital art...
From the theremin to the oscilloscope, artists have used early electronics to create analogue works of art. So how did the move to digitally created art start?
Boeing's William Fetter coined the term 'computer graphics' in 1960. His 'First Man' illustration - part of a short 1964 computer animation - is one of the iconic images of early computer graphics.

Today in pulp I look back at the Evergreen Review, the countercultural literature magazine of New York's Grove Press... #ThursdayThoughts
Grove Press was founded in 1947 in Greenwich Village, #NewYork. In 1951 new owner Barney Rosset set about turning Grove into America's leading avant-garde publisher.
It was ferocious in fighting censorship battles, and Grove editions of Lady Chatterley's Lover, Tropic Of Cancer and Naked Lunch all ended up in court as the publisher faced off against censorious state authority.
