This Photo’s A Real Scream
Now, I collect a lot of things — a lot of odd things, mind you. So when I ask you, “Who would collect a photo of a woman screaming?” I seriously want to know.
Even the auction title word-salad has me wondering… “Vintage Color Photo Television Screen Woman Screaming” — who searches for any of that?
…Now, looking at this photo that long, wondering all that, I am three steps closer to bidding.

Modern Woman Monday: Vintage Fifth Avenue Toilet Brushware
OK, so it’s not what you expected… But if you pronounce “toilet” in a frou-frou French way, you’ll be reminded that it’s intended meaning was not a bathroom fixture but rather the fixtures on a lady’s vanity.
