Stuff found and seen.

Penny Dreadful episode 7 - the first of Season Two - opened last night and closes today and it was really pretty beautiful. Some rough patches, as there always are with PD - we always have to work with the set, setup, and light plot of whatever main show is in The Brick and work on a really fast, tight schedule, but I was surprised at how pretty this one wound up looking.

It plays again today at 2.00 pm. Then I'm off shows for a month while B works on Lord Oxford.

Images and video recently enjoyed . . .

Always good for you to quit smorking:

Oddly, the thing that interests me most about this magazine cover is the promise of the story "Stella Cravits, Private Eye:"

Officer Murphy looks away from Omni Consumer Products:

Stick 'em up:

And this is from a Canadian WallMart online catalog which featured several examples, like this one, where the wrong picture was put with the product that was to be illustrated. Or, in this case, was it?

I dunno . . . looks like an ultra-douche to me.

My father and stepmom recently gave me a book of postcards of old ads that featured ads for a cigarette called "Spud," which my dad noted that he'd never even heard of. Well, by coincidence, Mark Evanier linked to an animated commercial for them just yesterday. Yeesh:

( If you wanna be mouth happy, the you wanna smoke Spud! )

And from 1985, a young Tori Amos takes whatever work she can get:

( Cornflake Girl )

Enjoy.
