Just time for my occasional series "ladies who love accordions!"

Squeezy does it...
"They said it couldn't be done!"

I'm sorry, I'll read that again...

"They said it shouldn't be done!"
Actually that's very good for your posture...
I have been to Paris and I can confirm it looks like this. Everywhere. Even in La Dëfence. Everywhere. Like this.
I know which one is going to start a fight first...
Apparently this is the French version of Mr. Ben.
It's on the Blockchain...
After nine martinis even a dropped spoon sounds romantic...
This is awful. Go-Go should be hyphenated!
Basque country music...
No seriously, all of Paris looks like this. All of it. Even McDonalds You know what they call a Big Mac in Paris? Nobody does, because it's full of people playing accordions and smoking. All of it.
"I wish I lived in Paris..."
"So nobody thought to bring chairs..."
What kind of party did you have in mind Allan?
More ladies who love accordions another time...
By popular request here's a link to the full album on YouTube: youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Don't thank me. It's what I do...

Today in pulp... let's look back at a Shōjo manga artist whose work celebrated friendships between women: Jun'ichi Nakahara. Image
Jun'ichi Nakahara was born in Higashikagawa in 1913 and worked as an illustrator, a fashion designer and a doll maker. His work is highly regarded in Japan and he was a significant influence on modern manga art. Image
In the '20s and '30s Nakahara often drew for Shōjo no Tomo ("Girl's Friend") magazine. The style at the time was for demure, dreamlike imagery, but Nakahara added to this large expressive eyes, often reflecting the light. Image

Today in pulp I try to decipher 1980s Japanese street style, with the help of Olive: The Magazine for Romantic Girls!

This may involve frills... Image
Street style is an ever-changing mix of styles, brands, attitudes and poses with various influences. And you normally have to be in the right place at the right time to capture it. Image
Which is where magazines come in! Photograping, documenting and deconstructing fashion never goes out of style, and in the late 1970s Japanese youth had one key guide to help them: Popeye! Image

In February 1974 something profound and inexplicable happened to author Philip K Dick that changed his life forever. Was it an illness, a psychotic reaction, or something truly mystical?

Today in pulp I look back at the exegesis of Philip K Dick... Image
Philip K Dick was both prolific and influential. In his youth he came to the conclusion that, in a certain sense, the world is not entirely real and there is no way to confirm whether it is truly there. Image
By the end of the 1960s Philip K Dick had published over 40 novels and stories, as well as winning the 1963 Hugo Award for The Man In The High Castle. But he still struggled financially. Image

What with you being so busy and everythign you may not have visited your local library in a while.

So come with me on a virtual library tour, courtesy of stock photography, to see what we do for a living... Image
The enquiries desk is normally your first stop in a library, and this is where you will meet The Angry Librarian!

Why is she angry? Because people keep asking her stupid questions! Image
"Are you open?"
"Do you have a toilet?"
"That chair's wobbly!"
"Why isn't it available in audiobook?"
"Someone else is on the computer and that's not fair!"

On and on it goes... Image

Today in pulp I look at the original white stripes: the world of dazzle camoflague! Image
Traditional pattern camoflague had been used by the British Royal Navy to break up a ship's outline for some time. But in 1917 artist Norman Wilkinson presented the Admiralty with a different idea - camoflague that confused enemy rangefinders. Image
Dazzle - known in the US as Razzle Dazzle - would use high contrast colours in irregular patterns to make it difficult for enemy gunners to calculate a ship's range and bearing. This would (hopefully) lead to them taking up a poor firing position when they attacked. Image

Friendship is universal. So are human-eating alien lizards in sunglasses. At least that's what we thought in 1983, thanks to one blockbuster TV mini-series.

This is the story of V... Image
Writer Kenneth Johnson had a strong background in TV drama and sci-fi, having worked on The Incredible Hulk and The Six Million Dollar Man. In 1976 he created The Bionic Woman series.

But his next project would be more political... Image
Johnson was interested in Sinclair Lewis's 1935 novel It Can't Happen Here, a story about how fascism might take hold in America. He worked up a modern retelling of the story - called Storm Warning - and pitched the idea to NBC as a mini-series. Image
