Now See Here

I want to make another mini gallery, damnit! So here we go.

This photo of f00dave was taken earlier today by Dmitrii with his Palm Pilot. Spooooky....

Goldwyn girls in a donkey polo match. This photo dates from 1934 and features Vivian Keefer (bent over), Barbara Pepper, Lucille Ball, and Jane Hamilton. I don't know the donkeys' or the photographer's names.

Ruby Rich-Schalit, accomplished pianist, riding an ostrich in Los Angeles, 1911. For more information on Ruby Rich-Schalit, visit Archive of Australian Judaica.

Andrée Maryse was a very acrobatic and flexible dancer. This Walery of Paris photo dates from the 1920s. Although the caption reads, "Les Etoiles de la Danse," I cannot find any more information on this supposed dance star. Any leads out there?

This photo of a heavily-tattooed man dates from around 1968. I think I would have liked the photo more if his chair and clothes were out of the frame, but it's interesting, nonetheless.

Now I'm going to grab a nap before I dance tonight. I'm sleeeeepy....

I don't know which is the spookiest; the palm pilot picture, 'I love Lucy on a Donkey' or Ostrich Dundee in LA...

The donkeys take it, for sure. For "ugliest", though, we have a different winner. ;-]
