Publication of the Month 3

Back to “Borsetshire Bride and Groom”. Photography. Some interesting ads in this section of the magazine. Like the one that features a bride in full regalia running away from the camera across a field. What happened there then? And why does the advert for a company called Barry Curl Photography feature a completely bald man? Is he being deliberately cruel? Or is this in fact a picture of Mr Curl himself, taken on his own Happy Day? One of life’s cruel ironies perhaps. And then there’s this blonde with a knowing look, almost wearing a bright red dress. I’m not sure she’s a real bride. With a mobile phone number underneath she’d be a dead ringer for those ladies offering services via those stickers you find in phone boxes.
