Lil Red Bag visits Farmers Market

[Alicia Starr]

Little Red Bags loves the market. She is a bold and daring little entity introducing herself to many gracious citizens. Quite the socialite she is. We had a ball.

What a great day for Red Bag, Aliciia! These are great pics! Love 'em all...the kids with the braces are FAB! Little Red Bag might be tiny, but has a BIG heart!

the guy in the hat below is the only person i actually know.  only one person in many said 'no' to a photo. The young woman with the blue dreds expressed fear of cult members showing up at her door steps. the boys with braces were the best. the one on the left, when asked about the photo said "I'm down with that". Does that mean yes i thought?  

today 'we' are going to a farm for a cookout. Lil Red is getting ready. she want to borrow the lip balm NBS sent.

What a great day out the Little Red Bag had! It een met a Man in Lycra and another Man with a Beard

I'm digging into Blaster Al's bio a bit. (He's still alive.)

 

He started out writing for pulp detective, sci-fi & true confessions magazines but went over to the truly difficult existence of a mail-artist after he read about the NY Correspondence School in a Rolling Stone article. I think he brought the pulp fiction aspect into ma.

Way to go, Alicia.

 

Some of the classic figures of mail-art, like Blaster Al Ackerman, always made a point of circulating their mail-art outside the mail.

 

Ackerman produced countless "tacky little pamphlets" (named by John Bennett) about imaginary spiritual groups, educational programs, conspiracy theories, whacky self-help - you name it - that he would place in laundromats, community bulletin boards & centers, alongside all the other brochures, you name it - and he mailed them too. It really brought this alternate reality into the world & allowed for all sorts of chance operations.l
