The Naked City | Mar 8 2021 |
Some people really don't like being in photos.
Here's a pulp style historical oddity we've seen floating around the web of late. This photo shows a frame from a bank security camera at the moment a bank robber shoots it. It's from United Press International, and first came to public attention thanks to an art exhibition called “Crime Stories: Photography and Foul Play,” which was mounted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City back in 2016. Based on the fact that the men are wearing fedoras we would have guessed the robbery to have taken place during the ’40s or ’50s, but it actually happened in Cleveland, Ohio, today in 1975.
Interestingly, one of us was actually in an armed robbery. A young PSGP was in a Kroger grocery store when a guy charged in with a gun and yelled at everyone to get on the floor. People were so stunned they just stood there, and the would-be robber turned around and ran. PSGP's dad, decisive as always, said, “Let's get the fuck out of here,” and they took off mere seconds after the robber. Fast forward to later and the local news reported that the store had been robbed. It turns out the thief had come back just a few minutes later. One hates to imagine what would have happened if PSGP and his dad had bumped into the guy. Anyway, does that count as being in an armed robbery? We think so.

You've heard of a purity necklace? That's not what's she's wearing.
We kind of thought the most recent promo image we found of Marilyn Chambers would be last we shared. It was so rare and beautiful that we considered it closure on the subject of Miss C. But we've found another that captures her allure, so here she is one more time. Through it, she joins the ranks of others we've posted on Pulp Intl. wearing only pearls, such and here and here. This UPI promo is dated today 1973, but it was shot during the filming of her hit porno flick Behind the Green Door in 1972.
