Found Poetry from the Mom and Pop Culture Shop
The Mom and Pop Culture Shop is top of the heap. Not only are the vintage clothes in colors trippy (and for sale!) They post astounding letters like the one above from a prisoner to a model. Now THIS is good writing! They call it "found poetry" but I call it ART. (Sorta) Also see their wonderful collection of wacky outsider art!

GALS GAMS GARTERS the BOOK
GALS GAMS GARTERS which is a digital record of an enormous scrapbook found in a dumpster by a Virginia student in the late 1960's. Our anonymous artist was a serious aficionado of the leg, ankle and above, but there is no nudity, no sex and nary a nipple. However, the man with the scissors and tape, like the magazine editors who provided him with product, managed to skirt good taste with plenty of inspired photos. His motivation? Who knows? For that matter, who is to judge? Feel free to forward to your fashionista friends.
We start here with one "Dacy Reid" who is in fact the recently departed Bettie Page. If you are a fan of vintage erotica, fashion, vintage clothing and retro culture...or (like the web itself) are saturated and sated with x-rated exploitation, GALS GAMS GARTERS is the place for you.
