all the Wilson St Skippy Girls

History: The first "moving" neon sign in Melbourne was
"Skippy girl"vinegar, used by Charles Blackman 1954
(as in Gould gallery Woollahra 21Mar04)
Blackmans Skippy girls are now politically incorrect
(one grafitus "Is there nobody normal left in Darlington?"
The Wilson st Skippy girls are better than Blackman,
I had pics of all 50 .  only a couple left now
