Every so often you come across something so unexpected and different you would probably never have thought it would exist until its there in front of you. This is one of those things.

My wife has a rather strange piece of VL memorabilia, it’s a diaper! with a poem handwritten on it by VL herself.
I’m curious as to whether there’s a lot of this kind of stuff around or not, should this be in a vault some place or what?

When my wife was an infant her parents attended a party, and Veronica Lake was also a guest.
This would have been no later than 1959. At some point VL wrote this poem on a spare diaper and presented it to my wife’s mother. So the provenance is pretty good.
