Sponsored by the New York Foundation on the Arts, Meet Miss
Subways is an artistic, delightful voyeuristic and even
historically important look at the famous subway advertising
program. Each month for thirty-five years, a young woman was
selected as “Miss Subways” and her picture and brief
biography appeared in thousands of subways and busses. She
became an instant celebrity! The author and photographer
have tracked down forty Miss Subways (many of whom aspired
to careers in show business or modeling) and the women tell
their life story and open their treasure trove of
memorabilia, from come-hither publicity stills, to innocent
cheesecake, to sophisticated modeling photos. Part history,
part high art and low camp, Meet Miss Subways is an
absorbing read and visual treat
