Remember when on Wayne's World when Wayne and Garth conjured up a visit to
Madonna's bedroom?

"Look at the unit on THAT one," I believe was the quote, of Garth in profile,
in their dreams. <bwg>

Anyone remember the 1960's phenomenon "plaster casters"?
Perhaps their work will show up in a wax museum somewhere...
A future study of bygone units.

Okay, I'll bite.
What's a 'plaster caster'?

Actually, Sandra, there's an exhibit of casts of the famous by a
woman who apparently pursued that art form as no one else did.
It's at a gallery in San Francisco. I can't remember the artist's
name. You could have a field trip to SF and conduct your own
study of unit studies.

During the 60's, groupies of rock stars would immortalize band
members' members in Plaster of Paris.

"Bite"?
Oh no.

I was going to say "look on google," but I did, and some windows came up
which were less than wholly desireable.

They were a couple of women who started a collection of casts of the privates
of famous rock'n'rollers. At least they did Jimi Hendrix (an oft-quoted bit
you can find on the web, that I've seen published a few times over the
years), and talked/bragged about doing lots of others.

No worth reading about.
