A sublime collection of trashy Motel postcards of the 1950's, 60's and 70's.
Definitively one of my favourites picked by wildminou 2 years ago

......and other stories. Anyone who read comic books from the 1950's onwards will remember the adverts exhorting the youth of the day to gain muscle and get the girl. This is an ever so slightly tongue in cheek homage to those ads. picked by Bingo 4 months ago
