"This is not porn": a blog with a great collection of vintage photos of celebrities

Swedish Patrick Karlsson works as a designer in a miniature advertising agency. As small as his hometown in the south of the country. There is not much entertainment there, so Patrick has a lot of free time. And he easily manages to regularly replenish his blog with high-quality content. The blog is called This Is Not Porn ("This Is not porn"), unfortunately it is no longer updated. And this is really not porn, but a collection of very cool vintage photos of celebrities. And Patrick also exposes popular fake footage from time to time.

After graduating from college, Patrick started several blogs at once, so that there was something to do in the evenings. In This Is Not Porn, he initially published photos that seemed sexy to him, but at the same time did not contain a hint of not only porn, but even eroticism. But over time, he turned his attention to funny archival footage of well-known people, considering it a more attractive niche.

However, Patrick did not change the name of the blog. Although he was advised to do it a hundred times: because of the word "porn" in the name, firewalls of many organizations and educational institutions block access to the site. On the other hand, it throws up traffic from search engines. However, most users who get into the blog in this way, obviously, are disappointed.

The Swede does not set strict restrictions in the choice of personnel. Except for one thing: photos taken after 2000 do not appear in the blog. Patrick grew up in the 80s and 90s and believes that life was better in those days. Apparently, he had not been to Russia then. The blogger finds most of the content on his own, readers send something. In any case, Patrick tries to find out the author of the photo, but it is not always possible.

A separate section of the blog is dedicated to debunking popular images that depict the wrong people that everyone thinks about. It's not as difficult as it seems, says Patrick, you just need to be careful and compare the facts.

"This is not Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy. The people in the photo are actors who look like them, and the author is photographer Allison Jackson, known for her love of using doubles and creating staged pictures of celebrities."

"Yes, this is Elvis Presley, but he does not cut Johnny Cash or James Dean, as many believe. Elvis is cutting his cousin Gene Smith's hair."

"James Dean did not smoke in the company of Marilyn Monroe on the roof of a house in New York."
