Thanks Mom for throwing out a fortune

Of Human Brundage a heartfelt valentine to illustrator Margaret Brundage, whose sumptuous writhing cover girl quickened many a young man's pulse!



{This came from Playboy story on an Old friend Margaret Brundage}








Damsel in distress: The Brundage Girl spiced up many a cover of Weird Tales, which between 1923 and 1954 published fiction from the likes of H. P. Lovecraft and Ray Bradbury






Today, of course, and for a fistful of decades, there has been the Playboy Playmate. Before her, in my childhood and adolescence, there was Esquire's Varga Girl, preceded by the Petty Girl, from the suave airbrushes of Alberto Vargas and George Petty, respectively.






The Petty Girl, who seemed enormously daring to me whenever I was able to sneak a barbershop peek at her when I was a boy, now looks like tame stuff, indeed.But she had a full-bodied, pink-skinned contemporary, invariably nude, who sizzled on the covers of Weird Tales and who looks far from tame, even today.






If I seem to be persecuting Finlay, let me add that he was a legitimate illustrator of great skill who did honorable work that was an asset to the pulpwood magazines of the day. Brundage, on the other hand, was a trash artist. But she was a top trash artist of her time, and she may have been a kind of genius. Her work had zip, zest, pizzazz; it had luster and lust; it zoomed straight past the intellect and homed in on the viscera.






Critics of Charles Dickens have said that his stagy, exaggerated characters aren't lifelike. More perceptive critics have said in rebuttal, Maybe not, but they're something much more important: They're alive. The same may be said of the Brundage Girl






Margaret Hedda Johnson Brundage was the lone woman to make her reputation as a cover artist in the lurid pulp magazines. Brundage's style and her choice of pastel as a medium were heavily influenced by the look and content of American women's magazines, but the content is pure Weird Tales.






Vivid, stylized, idiosyncratic, the naked lady of Margaret Brundage doubled as victim and villainess, by turns cowering or glowering, either cringing under or brandishing a whip that was by no means always figurative. This cover girl's flesh tones were sensuous and mouth-watering, her eyes large and imploring (if a victim), narrow and leering (if a vixen).






Margaret Brundage began working for Weird Tales with the September 1932 issue. She was not the first or the last of its cover artists to feature the undraped female form, but the crude nudes of the early C. Parker Petrie and C. C. Serif, or the painstakingly representational, anatomically accurate figures of Virgil Finlay, pale beside hers, and only the strange, imaginative---if almost abstract--art-deco work of Hugh Rankin offers any worthy competition to the Brundage Girl.






Her legs were long and tapering, the thighs generously full. Her hands and feet were delicately modeled and always balletically poised. Her buttocks were rounded and womanly, her belly gently convex, her breasts perfectly formed and not too large. On some occasions, her nipples were unveiled, and when they were, they were revealed to be the delicate color of strawberry Necco wafers, a popular pastel candy of my youth. It was probably the waxing and waning of censorship and acceptability, and what the editors thought they could get away with, that determined whether or not those tempting confections could be seen. When they were covered, they were barely covered--by a wisp of hair, a shred of chiffon, a tendril of smoke, the strategic placement of which seemed to be Brundage's little nose-thumbing joke at the bluenoses.







Striding glossily naked from head to foot, with a pack of faithful wolves as her companions, standing birth-bare and terrified among deadly cobras, lying stripped on a marble slab under the sacrificial knife of a half-naked priestess, standing nude before pagan idols and hostile hooded figures, she was that epitome of menaced maiden, the Brundage Girl.







Margaret was only 8 when her father died, and she and her mother (Margaret Jane Loutit Johnson) moved in with her grandmother.



In 1931, Brundage's mother suffered a fall that fractured her hip. As a Christian Scientist, she refused medical treatment and in 1932 was forced to move in with Margaret and Slim, remaining crippled until her death in 1940



Margaret went to the McKinley High School with Walt Disney, graduating in 1919, and would later attend the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts with him as well. And yet, for reasons the remain unclear, she never worked with Disney. While he went on to do cartoons, Margaret shocked most of post WWI America with pulp magazine nudes that set new standards in macabre eroticism.



By this time Slim had proved to be, in Margaret's words, "worthless as a provider". In the depths of the Depression, female artists were in slight demand, and newspapers had little need for fashion sketches. In an attempt to support herself and her little family, Brundage began soliciting illustration work by phoning periodical publishers based in Chicago. Margaret was eager to get away from black and white drawing and into color if possible. Margaret tracked down several candidates in the Chicago phone directory, eventually meeting with the publishers of Weird Tales magazine.







Brundage's Weird Tales heyday spanned from 1932 until 1939, but she ultimately created a total of 67 covers for them, creating a body of work unmatched for its lurid excess, even in the feverish world of pulp cover art. For several years, the readers were not even aware that "M. Brundage" was a woman and many were shocked when her sex was revealed. At a time when lunch cost a nickel and secretaries made $25 a week, she received $90 a cover. For long period of time, Margaret Brundage was the de facto Queen of Weird Tales




Unlike, say, Finlay's placid figures, which often seemed to be just planted there, immobile as potted plants, the Brundage Girl was always caught at a moment of ultimate drama and trauma, extreme stress and distress, intolerable persecution, raging displeasure; with wet lips parted, eyes rolling, flashing; her splendid body recoiling or looming with magniloquently theatrical outflinging of limbs. To this already-pungent sauce was added, more often than not, the patented Brundage sado-maso-lesbian spice that was essential to the psychodynamics of her unique aesthetic. It made her work steam and bubble and erupt from the cover, and still does, even half a century after publication.








Brundage was excellent at composition and if she had flaws--of draftsmanship or detail--they were irrelevant. For her flaws were her virtues. She usually gave backgrounds short shrift or ignored them completely; her figures often appeared to be floating in space, standing on nothing--even the chains to which the fair captive was often manacled rarely were riveted to a wall. That's because Brundage was impatient with nonessentials, had no love for walls or floors but felt a burning love for her girls (and, possibly, their chains).



For the years that Weird Tales was published in Chicago, Margaret's artwork graced most of its covers. And many a boy read the stories as an afterthought after acquiring and hiding those magazines. Brundage's covers are credited with having saved Weird Tales during the depths of the Depression and set standards for the portrayal of "Women in Peril" that still resonate in pop culture today.







After Margaret finished the Academy, she began doing freelance fashion designs for various newspapers. She met her future husband, Myron "Slim" Brundage, while working at a Bohemian social club called the Dill Pickle*, known for its ample supply of radical ideas and bootleg whiskey. Slim was something of a huckster, and had lived as a hobo for a time. They married in 1927, and Margaret gave birth to Kerlynn Byrd Brundage soon after.



Their marriage was not a happy one; As years went by, Slim Brundage would run off periodically and even take up with girlfriends for extended periods. They were finally divorced in 1939. Decades later, Slim would go on to be a fixture of Chicago's intellectual counterculture



Was Brundage a shrewd professional who exploited her readers' obsessions, fixations and fetishes, cynically tailoring her work to fit their tastes? Or did she share those tastes, and was it precisely that facet of her personality that energized and vitalized her art?








With the stuffiness typical of our tender years, we preteen fans of Weird Tales and other fantasy or science fiction magazines were vociferous in our praise of Finlay, who impressed us with his meticulous care and academic correctness, and whom we looked upon as a Fine Artist. We were ashamed to admire Brundage; we didn't even admit to ourselves that we enjoyed the way her pictures made our young cheeks glow a little pinker and our young hearts pump a little faster.




In later years, Brundage was bitter and frustrated at being forgotten by an industry she helped save during the Depression. Later on in the 1960s , she helped out pulp aficionados who sought her aid in establishing early sci-fi conventions, only to have precious originals stolen from her by Weird Tales fans who realized their value and talked her into "loaning" them. In her twilight years, Brundage struggled to support herself and made appearances at an annual Chicago Art fair to sell her work. Margaret Brundage died in 1973, largely forgotten, but still painting and sketching in Chicago. Today, a resurgence of interest in pulp ephemera have made her a minor cult celebrity. Fragile Brundage originals are among the most coveted and prized of pulp artwork, commanding prices upwards of $60,000.. End of Playboy





Margaret Brundage Think of her as a older sister though 50 years older than me she was so young in the mind.

Margaret seemed to be right there in the moment with me more than any person I met. My mentor close friend her son "Byrd" who was an artist as well. Byrd taught me wisdom hard won by Margaret who knew many of the people who shaped americas' minds.

A powerful spirit, kindly, careful but filled with love for mankind in general which made her professed unbelief seem silly put her down as one who loved mankind. A honest pagan is better than one and half billion dishonest pagans who think they are 'saved' because a preacher "tickled their ears".



Abou Ben Adhem

Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,


And saw, within the moonlight in his room,


Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,


An Angel writing in a book of gold:



Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,


And to the Presence in the room he said,


"What writest thou?" The Vision raised its head,


And with a look made of all sweet accord


Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord."



"And is mine one?" said Abou. "Nay, not so,"


Replied the Angel. Abou spoke more low,


But cheerily still; and said, "I pray thee, then,


Write me as one who loves his fellow men."



The Angel wrote, and vanished. The next night


It came again with a great wakening light,


And showed the names whom love of God had blessed,


And, lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest!





Byrd Brundage and I worked on the Hospital ship Hope. Byrd painted the Hospital ship Hope many ways and many times one is hanging in the Washington Museum




I "met" Arafat 1969 I was "snopping" around a resort bored waiting for Byrd to get off work in


In La Goulette, Arafat was hiding out from the Americans and Israelis scared shitless when I opened the door by mistake saw him chatting with head of the secret police.

Secret police was sitting down and chief of city police (friend of a friend) standing up like a waiter in the restaurant. My arabic was poor but good enough to hear Arafat ask with trembling fear "American! is he CIA? Secret police said no no with police chief saying "he is harmless he is a boy engineer on hospital ship" calm down. I guess killing three thousand people makes you jumpy.




Sec Hillary Clinton success to date has to do with information I supplied to her about the future events information in her Hidden Imam file/ Edward called Enoch by Christ. I receive no money for this and they have failed to pay money owed to me by the US Government which is one of the reasons the United States Economy is being destroyed. {see my blogs} public record in congress;

{We beg to inform you that your E.letter dated 2007/03/25 was received.}



March 25, 2007: President dr-ahmadinejad. I offer you friendship and fellowship in the Name of the God of Abraham .



I studied all the major belief paths can honestly say that the Lord Jesus Christ would be more comfortable in any Islamic home than Christian one.



Jinn took control of Religion in Both his name and the Holy Name of I Am he who is. The children of the God of Abraham have been divided by Satan into three groups which he uses to wage war against each other in.



Last Night I was talking to my wife from the Lord and she was asking why did God allow things such as this She then told a story about a beautiful young Catholic High Schoolgirl who went out on Exchange program outside Lithuania came home to surprise her family. She was robbed beaten to death by killers when caught said "she just kept on praying (this was in communist times) so we beat her to death! I then explained to my beloved God did save her he brought her home.



Heaven including Christ stood welcomed her into heaven honor her home. I explained that to die with a prayer on your lips heart filled with praise is the highest death anyone can ever hope for.



I have yet to write one percent of the knowledge of the future . I will write things which I believe to be true regardless of anyone wanting to kill me. Christ took fifty years to teach me by suffering trial and error so that you would be spared such harsh testing..



I count myself in all my infirmities most blessed of all men .Within me is knowledge more valuable than in all the scientist that have ever lived and it will die with me. 18 years ago God gave me ideas which if I had a school of thinkers could change the entire way mankind produces energy, and how to manipulate the very elements of existence. He did this as a distraction to keep my mind off pain.



I offer to you all that he gave to me if you make peace with America promise you a place in the Kingdom of God which will make the king from the house of Saud jealous.




What is this sin of zionist? it is the sin only a paid religionist can commit it is called the curse of the Sanhedrin lifting up the source of income above the worship of God.It caused the Sanhedrin to kill not only the Messiah to many nations but most of the Prophets using words twisted to support the views of the rich and powerful over the voice of God's prophets..

In the Name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate Oh Almighty God, please, we beg you to send us our Guardian- who You have promised us- soon and appoint us as His close companions.


He is now known as the 'expected one,' (al—Muntazar), the 'promised one' (al—Mahdi'), or the 'hidden one,' (al—Mustatir)


The theology of the Hidden Imam is that Allah realized at last that the rightful successor to Muhammad was not going to be accepted by Islam at large so he had to be taken into hiding and kept there until he would re—appear to purify the umma and take the world for Submitters to the God of Abraham.




The engine to our economy is fueled by the cooperation of everyone believing in a lie, this is called consumer confidence. If everyone realized our world is insane the world would not be able to continue on wasting resources and people would not be permitted to be billionaires while others starved.



That is why we have men with guns called armies and men with smaller guns called police. And the fact that people are tired of the insanity make the Police look for bigger guns. All the problems of inequity COULD BE resolved peaceful if the people with power permitted the rest of the world to share in the resources of the world which doesn't't belong to the people with money but the people without money who supply the resources.



This is why we have armies this why we have armies in the Middle East now. Our leaders don't lead they follow the trail of money into an abyss of the unknown at the end of which is extinction. Religion far from being the answer is the main problem.



The biggest threat to world peace is the leadership of all three major religions. The leadership of the religions of the God of Abraham have nothing to do with the actual God of Abraham they represent the Lucifierian worship of the God of Abraham.




Everyone forgets that Lucifer was the second most powerful being in existence. And his job was worship leader and he was very good at it and still is. As long as the paid coreligionist controls the money of those who love God : Satan will control the governments of the world. Religion is evil itself not God religion when put in the place of God serves Satan not God

Question asked :The pope is indeed going to be trouble in the end times. This one in particular One thing that I still don't understand is why has "religion" not stood up for us? They continue to let the warmongers do whatever they wish and let homeland security spread like a plague across the globe? Why? They and the citizens are the only ones that have any kind of power over this.



Enoch Vampire Killer responds:



The pope is the King of Babylon Religion started by Nimrod, (And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, and THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.



And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel?



I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.



And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.)



Christian minister in general are used to preaching what other christian minister taught them. This is the blind leading the blind. They all made basic and fundamental mistake from the beginning.



They do not know they are idolaters believing in fourth century doctrine of Trinity which is the reason why Christ raised Mohammad up as a prophet to offset the power of Constantine pagan christian church.



The Roman church acknowledges first century doctrine in its renunciation of it calling it the "Old error" in its false baptism.



The only christian baptism that counts as far as Christ is concerned is Acts 2 vs 37 & 38.


Since all offices are received at Baptism all those ministers who use the false baptism of the trinity are the false ministers Christ prophesied.



This is the first step for any minister to correct before he is even considered a christian.



Second and most important all of the children who love the God of Abraham that are considered the family of the Lord Jesus Christ fall in a special class of favor by Our Lord.



Christians adopted children of God should be wise enough to understand they are guest at the table of the God of Abraham and his Christ.



His family will not be kicked out of the Kingdom or his house because they disagree with Pat Robertson who raises the hidden shirk to a art form



"Performing righteous acts for human praise can also lead to being barred from entering paradise."Whoever gains any knowledge that should be learned for the sake of God, (with) the intention of (benefit in) this world... will not even smell the fragrance of Paradise on the Day of Judgment.”



Of course you don't have to take my word for it wait a few months and Christ will tell you as you scream "Lord, Lord did we not do so many wonderful works in your name" Christ tells you as coldly as a blast of Arctic wind coming from the Tundra


"GET AWAY FROM ME I NEVER KNEW YOU"


The major problem in the Middle east today is caused by Christian ministers thinking they have all of the truth when the are a stench to God. A properly trained minister with the right tools will sit at the table with Kings and presidents his authority will be greater among Islamic believers will be welcome in mosque.



A poorly trained one will lose his head causing the death of the man whom took it. Both of them will wander around together in eternity wondering just how stupid they both were



Show me one prophet who was not considered stone cold nuts by all the people of his time.



Expect 50,000 christian ministers to be killed soon .

BY THEIR OWN CONGREGATIONAL FOLLOWERS IN AMERICA.


Those who do not know History are doomed to repeat it. Look at the United States they reduce the peoples' mind to silly putty strong enough for a sound bite nothing more then tell them how absolutely right they are and please give up another civil right all your grandchildren's earnings to keep us "FREE" and the fools do it.




Ministers banging away how right we are they don't see fire slowly burning in their own church as truth sinks in that the "social club disguised as Church is losing its control on its members because God has nothing to do with the religious scam being pulled on Americans.




"There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD."



Prepare for the death of 90% of America thanks to the prophets of BAAL selling God on TV death the only Mercy Christ will show you if you are alive when he returns he will say to you "get away from me"only place you can go will mean 1000 years of being a slave to mankind.

[Konkordat.jpg]The answer is simple the Roman Church is the inventor of Nazism from the first century to El Duce or Hitler they love it far from stopping it they recreate it because it serves Lucifer far more than any free country or nation ever could.



The actual words of God quoted by scribes are the highest & greatest power and value of scripture which crosses all the recorded history of all three religions of the God of Abraham, the rest is perception of the people reading it.



What God does to make his words have greatest impact is to use his prophets to underscore his words by using prophecies and judgments, and blessings and cursing on a personal, national, international stage.



I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.



What will it Take America the death of your first born?



Understand I tried other ways to do my assignment too much demonic resistance by the established demonic government & churches that is why Christ set up the only tools that will work to bring the Beast of revelations under his control the ten curses



(of increased Biblical proportion for our population size) for these end times.



Christ promised I would be here in 33 ad to tell of his return.



Christian denominations was quick to use scripture against Christ own words to debunk the doctrine of Reincarnation.Claiming the doctrine a heathen doctrine due to the Buddhist and non Christian religions which noticed spiritual repetitions of souls in objective


ways.



Other spiritual people presumed that something which Christ said was possible happened enough for the apostles to accept without much more than a sentence from Christ to establish.



I understand your feelings,your anger, and your outrage disturbing your sernety, bringing the Hell on earth into your inner temple, one of my incarnations was a jewish man in Berlin, I remember the night of broken glass more clearly, than many memories of this 55 year old life. My life is hanging on by a thread by design of God now.



This why I write each message as my last. Before your delete or pass judgment, know this, I am doing exactly what you would do if the positions was reversed cared what happen to your fellow man.
