Sanity for Sale. American Gallery of Psychiatric Art. Magazine advertisements for psychiatric medications in the latter half of the twentieth century. Via dublog. 10:54:45 AM     |

Fantastic. A Bravo-Starschnitt archive. It works like this: Bravo is a youth orientated magazine. In 1959 they introduced the so-called 'Starschnitt', a clever money making scheme devised by the publisher. Every week you found a spread or a single page with a lifesize body part of 'your' star in the magazine. After hundreds of weeks, your star was complete; you could then assemble the parts and pin Michael Landon, The Sweet or T. Rex on your wall. I believe they're still doing it today... Found at Kellerkind, who's just back from holiday. 8:42:08 AM     |
