President Johnson




I went to the Fine Arts library on campus today and found some awesome books. One of them was this great paper doll of former President Johnson and his family.

There's Lady B and Lyndon in the first one, in all of their most basic glory. Then they give Lady B a "sad face" in plate number 2. Eisenhower had just become President. I think my favorite doll is of one of their daughters. Dude! Her husband is totally checking out her rack! Unabashedly so! This book was done in 1995, not very long ago, and paper dolls have matured into naughty things indeed. The final picture is of oh, their grand kids. How the legacy does go on.
