Sleeping with Louise / Lulu / Valentina

As devotees of Louise Brooks may know, the Italian cartoonist / illustrator / graphic novelist Guido Crepax (1933 - 2003) had a thing for Louise Brooks. In fact, his most famous creation, Valentina, was inspired by the actress, with whom Crepax corresponded. Valentina first appeared in 1968, and there followed a long running series of comic strips and books.

Flash forward to the present. From the Crepax estate comes these new Valentina products, presented here for your consideration and amusement. The bed set comes in many variations, a few of which are shown here.
