No? I never get that for Christmas either...

Your secret santas aren't very secret, are they?

Oooh oooh I know ... One of those fifties anthologies of pulp fiction, you know stories like Girls Gone Bad, with those fifties pin ups on the cover. It's funny, it's a little bit sexy but not in a crass or sordid way, and it says "I am cool" (by which I mean you not me).

... as it is just a collection of the cover art from those novles and magazines, not the stories as well:

http://www.amazon.com/Pin-Ups-TASCHEN-Icons-Taschen/dp/3822855677

Lots of trashy, pulpy Gil Elvgren type stuff. Not at all smutty (although I guess in its day it was), more like a collection of pop art. There's a copy in our office and I'd love it as a Christmas present.

I have seen in bookshops anthologies of both the artwork and the stories too. Can't find any online ATM.

[> Hmmm... -- Kashmanik, 19:38:38 12/11/08 Thu [1] (81.99.124.136)

...maybe something semi-practical that he'll use a lot. Which means he'll then think of you a lot. But it should also be something cool and nonchalant....

Hmm...

I got nothin'.

*shrugs* :-)

[> how about a lunch? then you could chat him up. -- the tee, 04:42:21 12/12/08 Fri [1] (71.197.236.221)

It could be fun and you'd find out if it was worth pursuing.
