A songbook from 1925. Must've cost a fortune when it came out, every second page has an illustration in colour and the paper is nice and glossy. Was too huge for my scanner,s o I didn't scan everything, especially not all pages with music/lyrics ( Read more... )

I believe that an ideologically correct poem for children doesn't have to be bad, just because it's an ideologically correct poem for children. I believe you can write a good one. Heck, Mayakovsky did that all the time. Of course, Mayakovsky was a genius. Unlike Nikolai Palaguta who is responsible for this weekend's contribution ( Read more... )

It's mostly girls in bikinis and an occasional nipple. I've no idea how interested you all are, but last time I posted, I got quite a lot of comments, so I guess ( Read more... )
