And Now A Word From Our Sponsor: I'm Not Mad At You, Cannon Towels

Ah 1942 when a bunch of well-muscled Army guys could go down to the river to strip off, lather up and cruise for big crocs. A man gets mighty lonely in the jungle, and Midge and Barb never had to know.

  2. Have you seen the Guy Maddin short film, Sissy Boy Slap Party?

    I think it will be up your alley.

  3. My goodness, that seems quite risque for 1942. No doubt a very accurate picture of army life.

  4. Have you read Dorothy Sayers' "Murder Must Advertise?" I don't think Pym's Publicity, Ltd, would have approved.

  5. My first thought was, score 1 for the gay art director who had to stay closeted in 1942. But then I thought--hell, there were a lot of women missing those guys as well.

    So a triumph on many levels.
