Notches

Cabaret. Berlin '20s. Hollywood's Golden Age. '30's. '40's. '50's. Magic images. Mystery fantasies. The age of wars. The wars of love. The desire of dreams. Dreams of nightmares. Days of the locust. The naked and the dead. Living from here to eternity. In the moment. Swing rocking around the clock. Doris lying to Rock. Sal Paradise hitting the road. Elvis assuring it's alright, momma. Freud understands. Kinsey reports.And Rock lies to everybody. I am 15. 16. 17. 18. I draw. I am smitten. I am an artist.

I was about 15 when the first issue of Playboy was published. I was playing penny poker with 3 school friends, and one had sneaked it out of the shop where he was working part-time. Marilyn Monroe. Naked! We thought Vargus poster girls and WW2 bomber nose art was as extreme as it could get. But "Wow!" here was a whole new world!
We all could not wait to grow up! And the Playboy Rabbit would be our escort of envy into the world of groove and cool.
