French Postcards


French erotic postcards presented several problems for the moral minority of their day. New technology allowed images to be produced and printed at a lower cost and the preferred format was an easy to transport postcard. A popular among newspaper and cigar vendors it was not uncommon for men to have a shoebox full of photos like the ones you’re looking at now. They could be taken across borders and overseas without being detected, they fit into a pocket, they were perfect for a quick sexy note. French Erotic postcards were the rage of Paris and an exotic find for an American.

The photos you are looking at obviously aren’t from the 1920s. They are of your very own Miss Maggie Mayhem and were taken by the very talented Andrew Conway who was kind enough to open his studio to me to create my own little fantasy about living the life of an bohemian bright young thing living the metropolitan life in a big city full of lights, culture, and high hemlines.

So please enjoy these photos as much I did taking them. I would love to do a series of photos from the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s but when can I ever get enough of a good retro shoot?

Ooh, have you all been wondering where I’ve been? Well aside from a trip through history my life has been, well, MAYHEM. I have done several still shoots, a few video shoots, and on top of that all I’ve moved into a nice new place to call home. I’m still running around work, out to the theatre, and trying to keep up my girlish charm with some beauty sleep here and there. I do have more photos to share with you all and I’m sorry about being such a slacker. It is a problem that will be remedied as soon as I have a proper desk to write on because it’s a little tricky to balance this thing on my lap. 
Ciao, darlings! May you find much beauty in your life.

    Actually the man behind the camera on this was my son D. I set up the shoot, and acted as D’s assistant, and also did the post processing on these shots. D is also picking some of his favorite pictures from the shoot to do some post processing on, but he is far more meticulous than I am so it is taking longer. Thanks for a fun shoot, Maggie.

    These are some of the best shots of yours I have seen yet. Either you are getting better or you are finding better photographers, or perhaps both.
