Valentines in May
I've been putting together my poster for my Archival Theory project on valentines. Since most of you won't be able to travel to the exhibit tomorrow afternoon, I thought I'd post some of my favorites online for your enjoyment.
Let's just get the comic ones out of the way:
And now for the racist one:
Here's one for the feminists:
(This valentine is actually on a brad, so you can move it back and forth and make her sweep the floor.)
I can't tell if this one is joking or not. Over the boy, the sender wrote "You" and then added "Geraldine" over the girl. I wonder if Geraldine was that girl in school everyone teased. But who knows...
Warning: This one almost contains explicit language.
A lot of people attribute the word "dawg" to Randy Jackson (of American Idol fame), but I've got proof that it's actually slang from the early part of the century. Don't believe me? Check it out:
The rest of these are just pretty to look at:
There you go! And I better go, too. I gotta get the poster finished. And then.... home! (well, on Tuesday.)
