I picked up this advice book from 1954 at the thrift shop yesterday: “Amy Vanderbuilt’s Every Day Advice”.

And yes, she is somehow related to the Vanderbuilt clan. Also, oddly enough the generic illustrations are done by Andy Warhol–hey, even he had a day job once. It has some real doozies in it.

“We are seeking biographical materials from or touching upon the lives, work, opus and debauchery, both public and clandestine, of the seminal Irish rockers, “The Naked Rowdies.”

Thus began a request on Fictionaut, from David Ackley, seeking fictitious stories about an Irish Rock Band, “The Naked Rowdies”.

The snow plow came at once, pushing him into the bank, wedging his compact body deep into the dense snow. He wanted to laugh; how outrageous was this and on Christmas eve!

Took some landscapes with the Pen the other day. Cold, miserable and beautiful days on Cape Cod.

This was a flash piece I did a few years back after finding this priceless photo online.
