mod as hell's photostream  

My apartment is filled with all kinds of colorful and kitschy pop culture detritus: pulp novels, train schedules & maps, home ec guides, beauty and dating advice books, recipe booklets, dishes and barware, dresses, hats, shoes, purses, ties, sewing patterns, Barbie and friends dolls, record albums, weird toys, Asian stationery, coffee mugs, bowling bags and trophies, found photos...I could go on and on.

I'm better known on Flickr as katherine of chicago; I created this second account to serve as a delightful repository for photos and scans of my vast, vast collections of stuff. And photos of things I found in abandoned buildings, and of stores. And my 365 Days project, because I just didn't want that many photos of myself over there!

I've still got to replace some of my earliest photos (uploaded too small) and fix a few scans and organize things a little better, but by looking at my Collections you should be able to find what you want here, and a lot of things you didn't know you wanted...

If you're a contact on my other account, you might like to add this one too. I've had this account over a year but I've been shy about finding people to add! (Or at trying to get testimonials here *ahem*) My Goodreads has many books you might enjoy on the kinds of things I post here.

I started a very active sports blog (mostly hockey), a little chippy, in fall 2009. Any sports-related material I post here will go there too.

I'm just about to start some groups relating to historic Chicago ephemera and historic American railroad and public transit ephemera...Oh, and I've got a slightly well-known and acclaimed blog!:
