Bombshells
: Glamour Girls of a Lifetime - "Bombshells"
is a book that brings back a flood of fond memories, gives
us rich anecdotes we'd never heard before, and dazzles the
eye with its sizzling photo images. Anyone who loves the pop
culture of the '50s and '60s, and glamour girls in general,
will love this book.
Bettie
Page: The Life of a Pin-Up Legend - This book is well-written
and leads the reader through Bettie's life; from her start
and to her present day in a respectful and fascinating manner.
Carnival
Strippers - Originally published in 1976, this book is
considered a pioneering publication for it’s frank and
honest look at women on the margins of society.This revised
edition contains a new selection of Meiselas’ black-and-white
photographs together with the original excerpts from the interviews.
Photographing and interviewing women who performed striptease
for small town carnivals in New England, Pennsylvania, and
South Carolina.
Circus
and Carnival Trucks 1923-2000: Photo Archive - "Being
an over 30 year member of the Circus Model Builders and known
for the circus truck models I have built, this book has a
lot of picture history. I remember seeing the truck that is
on the cover when I was a child and it brings back memories.
I have never seen any of the photos in this book before and
many of the over land trucks I have seen in person. This book
is a must for all people interested in the circus or the many
types of trucks circuses used."
Elvira's
Haunted Hills - The audience for this rickety spoof is
probably limited to three groups: diehard fans of Elvira,
cultists of '60s horror (specifically the Edgar Allan Poe
and Hammer offerings), and people who believe rim-shot, borscht
belt humor ought to be brought back. The last group apparently
includes Cassandra Peterson, the comedian who dreamed up Elvira;
her fondness for vaudeville one-liners is either groan-worthy
or infectious, depending on your tolerance for such things.
Sample: "The village people say this castle is evil."
"Ah, who listens to the Village People any more?"
Ouch. Her Mae-West-meets-Vampira shtick wears surprisingly
well at feature length (1988's Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
is actually a pretty good time), although this movie simply
runs out of material halfway through. Bonus: Rocky Horror
genius Richard O'Brien contributes some amusing ravings as
a mysterious Carpathian castle owner, pining away for a dead
wife who suspiciously resembles our heroine. --Robert Horton.
