The cover illustration is for Jack Williamson's "The Fortress of Utopia," a time travel story. In an attempt to save the Earth from future collision with a comet, humankind is sent back into the far past, with their memories erased, in order to re-evolve to a sufficiently advanced state to combat the comet.
This pic is my affectionate ode to the gritty pulp fiction of the 1950’s, starring Dean’s gorgeous #3 brunette ‘Gene,’ and her ‘twin sis’, my airbrushed #3 brunette on her #4 body, that I brought over to his place while I was visiting yesterday. Both gals as you can see have that pale blue eyeliner that’s unique to the #3s, (when they don't have their usual brown, that is!) but there are very interesting subtle differences to their faces… while their makeup is practically identical, (exactly the same lips!) the width of their temples and the placement of their eyes and eyebrows are a little different. Even so, we think that they are both really beautiful. We had a little fun shooting them yesterday, as you can see! We were trying to decide how to photograph them, when I spotted the cage that houses his dog’s bed and joked that we should use that! We then thought, ‘why not?’ and then just ran with it! LOL
Jules: Fuck, nigga, what the fuck did you do to his towel?
Vincent: I was dryin' my hands.
Jules: You're supposed to wash 'em first!
Vincent: You watched me wash 'em.
Jules: I watched you get 'em wet.
Vincent: I was washing 'em. But this shit's hard to get off. Maybe if I had Lava or something, I coulda done a better job.
Jules: I used the same fuckin' soap you did and when I got finished, the towel didn't look like no goddamn Maxi-Pad!

Esta semana me he vuelto salir del guión... Más que lugar, he buscado un personaje. Porque los hay que fascinan tanto o más que algunos lugares.
No sería genial poder compartir un rato de nuestro tiempo con ellos???
"A young Greek artist called Stathis Tsavalias, aka Insane51, painted John Travolta in the role of Vincent Vega from the movie Pulp Fiction in a cool 3D effects. You might need your 3D glasses to check out this mural on Josephstraat."

“Treachery had red hair and soft curves."
“The invaders were bent upon creating a new world in which trucks without drivers could back up and run over you; in which a giant machine could say, ‘Well, what railroad shall I wreck today?’ Holland knew all about it and figured he could straighten things out. But first he had to get out of the insane asylum.”

I discovered this kind of janky graff on the side of a shady gun store on 79th street near Biscayne blvd. The gun store is directly next door to a public library...
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you!"
I do believe Marsellus Wallace, my husband, your boss, told you to take ME out and do WHATEVER I WANTED. Now I wanna dance, I wanna win. I want that trophy, so dance good.
m'kay?
“From out of Earth’s forgotten past sprang a terrible menace to all mankind. Sweeping down from the void came an invading horde, led by “The Metal Emperor.”

From the story “The Second Swarm” by J. Schlossel:
“The sun had just sunk behind the hills in the west along the Atlantic seaboard of North America when into the upper reaches of the Earth’s atmosphere from the southeast not far from the spot in the horizon where presently Sirius in all its splendor would rise, there suddenly shot a long, slender meteor-like object. It sped through the highly rarefied outermost stratum of air with such speed that it glowed red in an instant. It did not follow the usual path of a shooting star but seemed to rise. Holding a course near the top of the ocean of air which must have been parallel with the curvature of the Earth, it sped northwest. Like a blood-red streak it was traveling across the darkening sky. From the spot in the heavens where the first had made its sudden appearance, five more meteor-like objects in a straight row, equally distanced from each other, plunged into our gaseous envelope, glowed red as blood, and followed the course of the first. Behind them came a row of five more, then five more. Steadily and silently they came into view, row after row. Their silent passage was ominous.” [Opening Paragraph]
OK so i'm not in the habit of doing this, but i wasn't happy with the first version that i made and it's been bugging me all day. So i've re-done it.
I would have just replaced it with the original version, so i didn;t have to post it twice. but for some reason you can do it with photos but not video.
so thanks for being patient and i'd like your opinion, should i keep both up or delete the original and loose all the comments?

It turned out that Harriman's guys had just returned to the club to do some cleaning up. I couldn't make out what was in the bags that the big lug was carrying when he stepped into the alley, but it didn't look to be a body, so I wasn't all that interested. He didn't seem all that interested, either, in me, or in the lost cat I told him I was looking for. He advised me that a back alley at that hour of the night was not a good place for a nice girl like me and I should go home and look for my cat in the morning. Seemed like good advice, so I took it and headed home.
I slept in the next morning. I needed it, if I wanted a functioning brain that day. Besides, I had a feeling that Harriman was not an early riser. I got up earlier than I wanted to, though and took myself over to the address I'd found while going through his office.
By happy coincidence, there was a diner right across the street from his apartment building. I parked myself at a table by the window and ordered toast and coffee. Harriman was definitely not an early riser. I was on my third cup and that was cold, by the time he came out.
He started to cross the street and I had a second of near panic that he might come into the diner. He headed south along the sidewalk, though. I dropped a dollar and change on the table and hurried out the door.
He hadn't gone far. I slowed my steps as I approached where he stood at a news stand just down the block. Chatting with the news agent, he took no notice of me as I took a Saturday Evening Post from the rack and leafed through it.
He bought a New York Times and then reached for a copy of a boxing magazine, murmuring an apology as his hand brushed the hem of my coat. I moved out of his way, lowering my face more over the magazine in my hands. I heard a car draw to a stop , and his voice giving an address. I glanced up in time to see a taxi pull away from the curb.
"Hey lady, you gonna buy that, or what? This ain't the public libarry, ya know." The news agent sounded more bored than annoyed. He probably delivered that speech 80 times a day. I moved toward him, opening my purse. Pulling out a dime and a pen, i placed the coin on the counter, then used the pen to quickly jot down the address Harriman had given the taxi driver.
Tucking the rolled up magazine under one arm, I retreated a few steps and lit a cigarette as I reviewed my options. Not being flush, I wasn't going to take a cab to that address, I go later, taking public transit. Besides, Harriman was gone. This seemed like a good time to scout out his apartment and maybe have a look inside. I took a last long draw on my cigarette, then tossed it into the gutter as I crossed the street.
"Hey, the ship didn't hit no motherfucking bump."
"Hey, look man, I didn't mean to shoot the son of a bitch. The gun went off. I don't know why!"
"Well look at this fucking mess, man! We're in broad daylight here!"
The Homicidal Virgin by Brett Halliday (1960; my copy is the 1961 Dell paperback with cover art by Robert McGinnis)
What looks like a tsunami in the cover illustration is actually a slow-moving glacier destroying the city in Steve Benedict's story "The Sixth Glacier." The author uses his pen name Marius.
“The Martians would carry their helpless victims in an immovable condition, aboard their long ships, storing them away until food was scarce.”
(Reminiscent of H. G Wells’ 1897 novel “War of the Worlds,” whose Martians fed on human blood, and of the 1959 gastronomic episode entitled “To Serve Man” on the Twilight Zone.)
VHS box of the 1994 independent crime film Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino. You seldom see these any more! I actually salvaged this from a construction bin outside our apartment. Taken for the Crazy Tuesday theme "box/boxes".
“Ranch Romances,” by far the most successful of the western romance pulps, enjoyed a 47-year run and over 860 issues published from September 1924 through November 1971. The magazine was a veritable lust in the dust, mixing romance novels with Western stories.
The illustration on the cover is for Curt Siodmak's "The Eggs from Lake Tanganyika," the story of entomology gone wild and the emergence of monstrous flies.
Last grab for my shopping weekend from Minifig Co. more Pulp Fiction characters to add to my collection! :D

“When I realized that the thing was regarding me with those staring, expressionless eyes, I tried to summon what little dignity I could – I sensed that the repulsive form housed an exceptional intelligence. But I had never undertaken a more difficult task, and I was thankful for the moment that I was not standing in front of my Biology classes at the University.” [Accompanying description]
Ted Marston, a brilliant student in Professor Lewis’ biology class, is prodded and cajoled by fellow students into revealing his theory of evolution:
“Well, if you insist,” replied Ted more seriously, “It’s something like this. I wonder if evolution isn’t the result of a certain bacterial growth which slowly and continuously changes the cellular structure of living organisms, causing the formation of new tissue and organs, and breaking down the old.” [Quoting the story]
“Again, our well-known author, Mrs. Harris, steps to the front with a gem of a story which proves her versatility as a writer of scientifiction. What is evolution? And how does it all come about? And how long does it take a race to evolve? All difficult questions to answer in a short paragraph. But there are many who believe that it is possible to speed up evolution. We do it experimentally with the lower animals and insects, and there is no doubt that sooner or later we can do it with human beings. When that time comes, it will be a most interesting adventure for us humans, but we do hope, for the good of humanity, that it will not be along the lines as expressed in the present story.
“However, do not forget that dynamite can be used for killing people and for peaceful endeavors as well.” [Editor’s Note]
