Betty Bourbon’s P.O.P.E. Mural

The Pub on Passyunk East went old-school in the girls’ bathroom department. Not like lye-and-a-hole old-school, but like 6th grade Tiger Beat style: pictures of Matt Dillon, the Coreys (I was a Feldman girl, I admit, Haim struck my 11-year-old hormones as too wimpy) and notes about boys and wanting to touch it.

South Philly’s Betty Bourbon plastered up the pages with shellac and glitter. Will it cause couple fights like the porn wallpaper at Sugar Mom’s? Probably not.

When I retire to open my bar in Philly, I’m going to wallpaper it with blow-ups from the Big Book of Penises (NSFW, depending where you work). It’s from Taschen, so it’s ART.
