subscribe: Innocence, circa 1965
Repost from old blog, 5/27/2009
My thrift-seeking boyfriend recently picked up an old children’s reader (c. 1965) called Around Green Hills. The first story is about gender-bending twins and it’s sweet. The second is unintentionally creepy and may especially interest sufferers of coulrophobia.

Holy moly.
BTW I’m collecting a whole lot of older (like 1910-1930s) boys’ books for their bizarre homoerotic illustrations. Yum.

Studies have shown that boys who have sex with old clowns are NOT damaged psychologically, and the clowns seem to benefit connsiderably from such experiences.
As for coulrophobia, I don’t know for sure, but I’m guessing I’m afeared of coulros.

Thanks for ruining my night. Kidding, but this is seriously freaky. I hate clowns. Damn, Stephen King. And the mother and everyone else wants Penny. I wish I’d been alive in the 60s.
