Warning... this is an adult site. If reading or viewing things about what gay men do sexually with one another bothers you - you should not read this blog. This blog is a reflection of my adventures and thoughts. Some are fun, some not so pretty. I won't name names, or kiss and tell... but I will live to tell. And baby, trust me - I am gonna spill it all over your pretty little party dress. Enjoy!
People who check in on this blog on a regular basis know that I am a huge fan of vintage graphics. Some of the finest? From various governmental agencies. I adore their big, broad use of color and presentation of iconic ideals, characters and images.
Today, I'm cleaning house. These are holdovers which didn't quite fit with any of the themes of my previous posts on these posters, but worth sharing all the same.
I do think my favorite one is the car-sharing poster above. It's simply so odd.
Simple and direct...
These graphics have become iconic.
And part of history.

Weekend Onesie:
The Red Cross
Part VI
People who check in on this blog on a regular basis know that I am a huge fan of graphics. Some of the finest? From various government agencies and non-profit organizations around the world. I adore their big, broad use of color and presentation of iconic ideals, characters and images.
Non-Profit and Government agencies are responsible for any number of initiatives - suggestions brought home to the people by use of posters. Today, we'll take a brief look at the various campaigns to ensure vital life services are provided to those in need during wartime. This was a matter of great importance in order to ensure military success, as it was a case of all hands on deck to obtain the necessary personnel and funds. To facilitate that success, governments and non-profits got their messages out, boldly, colorfully and patriotically via brilliant posters - no one more brilliantly than the Red Cross.
Today's focus: the organizations work in Germany. Yes, need is need no matter which side you're on. And help goes where needed.
