The Miss Noma Fun Club Lives!! (Sort Of)

Mail art to the Miss Noma Fan Club by Gerda Osteneck (Canada)

Miss Noma and the Miss Noma Fan Club (aka Miss Noma Fun Club) are already legends of the Eternal Network. And remain a mystery.

In this installment of Glam Faction, we present cards addressed to Miss Noma sent to us by Gerda Osteneck (Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada) and Aaron Krach (Brooklyn, New York, USA). Gerda is a longtime GF fave while Mr. Krach is unknown to us.

Let's "talk turkey" as we used to say in the Mink Ranch Bunk House, Glam2 Glam.

We have no idea who Miss Noma is or was, most likely several people. The extraordinary De Villo Sloan (DVS) does not know Miss Noma's identity. More important, De Villo Sloan is not Miss Noma. He received cryptic messages at IUOMA-Ning from several people claiming to be Miss Noma.

As the result of confusion, prank or both, several years ago DVS began inexplicably receiving mail for the Miss Noma Fun Club. This mail began to appear at MinXus-LynXus. We will do our best to share it on GF for the rabid fringe that still clings to all Miss Noma makes and utters.

Mail Art by Jenn Miltenberger (Maryland, USA) w/Special A&P Update

Mail art by Jenn Miltenberger (Annapolis, Maryland, USA)

Jenn Miltenberger made her Glam Faction debut in October 2020. We are thrilled to welcome her back in 2021 with deepest thanks for this very generous missive.

We'll skimp a little on the introduction because Jenn Miltenberger has made a splash in the network with her winning art, charming personality and collaborative spirit. Glamsters - who are always ahead of the curve! - probably already know her. If you are not familiar with Jenn Miltenberger, look at her work here and at IUOMA-Ning. She is an artist to watch in the estimation of your ever-faithful Glam Faction.

Jenn Miltenberger is very involved in add & pass (A&P). She included several fascinating samples of in-process A&P sheets with contributions by many correspondence artists. For instance, we see the influence of Jon Foster (North Carolina, USA), certainly an excellent collaborator. Jenn, relatively new to the network, has also been involved in some of the drama associated with A&P. which she has handled with grace and humor.

We look forward to more art by Jenn Miltenberger at Glam Faction!
