Kitschy French Postcards

January 29, 2008 10:37 AM

Popcards.fr is a collection of kitschy French postcards from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Kitschy barely does justice to this collection. Categories abound, including pets, humor (and I use the term loosely), lovers, cuisine and perhaps the two most interesting sections, guys and gals.

Occassionally NSFW.

Lapin aux Pruneaux. Comedy gold.

Thanks, Kattallus! Distant Dutch aunts used to send me these sorts of things in the 1970s. I'd completely forgotten about them.

I disapprove of tampering with the natural beauty of collies.

The origin of LOLCATS?

No, not likely. It may look like one of those hilarious misspelled captions, but I believe it's actually French.

In that case, Les LOLCHATS.

Those are some suspiciously masculine 'gals' you've got there....

gals != hommes, gals == femmes

Zut alors! The "gals" link was supposed to go here, bien sûr.

Fabulous. I've always been a big fan of agricultural love.
