Ludlow, late 1950s
Dear Diary,
Day 14
Two weeks later and I still search diligently for clues, for any sign that a decision has been made. No messages on my answering machine, no emails in my inbox, no notices on the web. Perhaps it's hidden in code somewhere? Maybe in a panel in the Sunday funnies?
I keep asking "Why? Why is this taking so long?". A clever ruse to maintain suspense, perhaps? Perhaps. Yet--I grow weary. Losing the will to look, to care, to dress myself. Must find answer soon.
Elvgren, 1960s
Dear Diary,
Day 13
Voting ended 13 days ago. No answer in sight. Still searching for... something. Anything. Hope remains, but dwindling. Will report tomorrow, if I have the strength.
I couldn't find another scan-worthy Halloween Elvgren in my collection, so instead I bring you something I found on the internets recently. Halloween pinup postcards from the 1940s!
Betty Grable
Skylighters.org, "the web site of the 225th AAA Searchlight Battalion" has a great collection of WWII memorabilia, including these fabulous Halloween pinup postcards from the era, as well as a nice archive of many other pinups (mostly photos, but not all).
Thanks Skylighters!
Elvgren, 1960
Elvgren was keen on doing Halloween-themed pinups... I know of at least three. Here's one of them, a sexy saucy witch. I'll "scare up" a couple more for ya later this week.
P.S. I've gotten no word on the contest results yet. I'm as much in the dark as you are. Yeah, no comment on that.
