Above is a rare Christina Lindberg shot showing her crawling across the sands of some desert or other. It's from the 1973 photo book This Is Christina Lindberg, which was shot by her soon-to-be husband Bo Sehlberg. Sehlberg, for all his good taste in models/wives, refused to allow Lindberg to be shot by another photographer and pressured her into giving up her movie career. So that blows. Anyway, we have still more rare Lindbergs and we’ll get to those later.

Update: If you visit this site a lot you may remember there were two images of Lindberg posted here. We've obviously removed one of them. We just were not happy with the quality of that scan. For Ms. Lindberg, only the best. We'll see about getting it back up later, but if you really want to see it that shouldn't be a problem—it's on about five hundred Tumblr sites with no credit given to Pulp Intl. whatsoever.

If you live in the U.S, today you’re probably celebrating Thanksgiving, maybe watching some football. But people where we live don’t know from Thanksgiving, so with nothing else to do today we decided to go back through some of the old posts on the website to make sure all the external links were still working. Interestingly, we noticed that the first two dead links cycled around for a few moments, then sent us to functioning pages that had nothing to do with the original articles. For instance, a link in our post on Lee Harvey Oswald’s coffin sent us to the front page of The Huffington Post. Is having dead links on your website now the equivalent of leaving your sunglasses in a restaurant? They’re okay to steal because they’ve been temporarily forgotten? Well, not in our universe. In the next couple of days we’re going to ferret out all the dead links on Pulp Intl. and redirect them to relevant content. We’d be surprised if there are even half a dozen, but we’ll fix them

Are they pulp? Well, not exactly, but they’re fun! Below are several cut-out dolls of various celebs of the 1970s. These used to appear regularly in Swedish magazines, where they were called klippdockan or klipprutan, and pretty much any personality you can imagine was reproduced at some point or another. Below are David Bowie, Françoise Hardy, Christina Lindberg, Donovan, Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin. 

In terms of sheer popularity, Christina Lindberg and Reiko Ike are a pinku dream pairing, but unfortunately they only acted in one film together, 1973’s Furyô anego den: Inoshika Ochô aka Sex & Fury. The above promo shot from that film caught Lindberg with her eyes half closed, but it’s worth seeing even if it’s a bit of an oops moment. You can see two Sex & Fury posters here. 

We have another old calendar page today (we’ve found these to be a good source of promo imagery). This one, for the first four months of 1972, features everyone’s favorite Swedish sexploitation and pinku actress Christina Lindberg. The calendar promotes her 1971 film Exposed, aka Exponerad, and quite effectively we might add. 

One of the elements we like about pinku films—aside from the action, the visuals, and the glimpse into a culture not our own—is that the women who have suffered all sorts of degradations at the hands of men inevitably massacre their tormentors in the last reel. When that doesn’t happen, we’re cheated of the final catharsis, which makes us party to the abuse rather than cheerleaders for the abused’s emancipation. We don’t need to be shown that the world is cruel—we just want to see something done about it, if only in the realm of violent fantasy. Thus Sadao Nakajima’s Poruno no joô: Nippon sex ryokô, aka The Pornstar Travels Around Japan doesn’t quite deliver for us. It’s a rather simple film, and it has nothing to do with traveling around. Quite the opposite, actually. The porn star in question is held captive in a room most of the movie and repeatedly abused by a rather disturbed taxi driver for whom she eventually develops feelings. Psychologists, so we hear, call this sort of emotional inversion Stockholm Syndrome. We call it a letdown, even though we understand there’s an attempt to make a serious point here. At least the movie has Christina Lindberg in the title role, so that’s a substantial silver lining. The poster above is one you can find on many websites, but we suspect only we have the rare two-panel version below. Too bad the printers produced such a shitty image. We can only assume that upon seeing a nude Christina Lindberg, they printed the posters one-handed while abusing themselves. Poruno no joô: Nippon sex ryokô, aka The Pornstar Travels Around Japan opened in Japan today in 1973.

We mentioned a while back that we had a few images of Swedish actress Christina Lindberg that had never been posted on the internet, and here’s one of them, from a Japanese promo poster circa 1972. Hope she didn’t catch a cold on this shoot. More Lindberg here, and more down the line. 

If you know anything about Christina Lindberg, you may be asking yourself how on Earth a poster designer ever decided it was a good idea to cut the most famous breasts of the era in half. Well, don’t judge too harshly—Lindberg didn’t become known as “The Girl with Them” and “The Sensation Girl” until her debut outing Rötmånad, aka Dog Days, aka What Are You Doing After the Orgy? earned an English-language release in 1971. Like many of the sexploitation stars, Lindberg wasn’t an expert actress, but she personified the sexual liberation that had swept the West. Sex was suddenly acknowledged as a healthy part of being human, and it was acceptable to explore erotic themes in the open via cinema. By the time the seventies were over video would take depictions of sex to places undreamt of, all of them fetishistic, and mainstream cinema would begin to shy away from the subject of even romantic, loving sex. But for a while Christina Lindberg was the muse of international erotic cinema, and it all began when Rötmånad premiered in Sweden, today in 1970. Below is a promo shot from the film, and pretty soon we’ll share some Lindberg images that have never appeared on the internet before. 

Summer is dwindling in the parts of the world that have actual seasons. As a reminder of everyone’s favorite time of year we’ve searched the internet and cobbled together a collection of thirty vintage images featuring some of yesteryear’s fittest femmes and hommes enjoying the sun, and sometimes each other. If you haven’t had a summertime moment like one of those below, there’s still time. Get to it. 

The other day we realized that nearly all of our femmes fatales released records at some point, so we have a megapost of sleeves below representing a fraction of these multi-talented women’s musical output. We’ve heard most of the music, believe it or not, and while its quality varies, we do suggest you check out both Marilyn Chambers and Reiko Ike—their simulated orgasms are quite pleasing to the, er, ears.
